Miyazaki’s catalog of cinematic masterpieces have enamored audiences around the world; the film Princess Mononoke is widely considered one of his best, and if you’ve seen it (which chances are you have; otherwise, you probably wouldn’t be taking this quiz), then there’s no question as to why. It’s a movie with layers: layered characters like Ashitaka, San, Moro, Lady Eboshi, the Forest Spirit, and Okkoto, as well as a theme that tackles the existence of man and nature and how the struggle to coexist respectfully, can lead to disastrous results. It isn’t a black and white story with exclusively good or bad characters, as is such in real life, and perhaps that is why Princess Mononoke has captured the hearts of so many. We can resonate with these characters' plights, perspectives, and personalities, but who exactly do you relate to the most? Take this quiz and find out!

Charlie took to the written word like a fish takes to water. That is to say; they found themselves immersed in literature from before they were born. They've been known to tell their friends how they can still remember the passages their parents read to them when they were in utero - Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, and a bit of Hunter S. Thompson thrown in to balance it out. Charlie keeps their feet wet, whether they're whipping up pithy one-liners to tease your brain or busy working on their second novel (the first one is available on Amazon under a pen name they refuse to disclose). You’re sure to get a kick out of giggle-worthy explanations and outrageous hints, and still come away feeling like you’ve just expanded your knowledge base.

Iron Town was depicted as a safe haven, and a second chance of sorts, for outcasts, criminals, and prostitutes as offered by Lady Eboshi. In return for her kindness and generosity, her people extended their devout loyalty and adoration. Fans of the movie noticed that many of the residents were extensively bandaged, which spurred various speculations in regards to their true condition. The original script states that these individuals suffer from “an incurable disease,” and some fans theorized that it may have been leprosy. Leprosy is a contagious disease affecting the nerves and skin; it can cause lumps and discoloration, and even deformities and disfigurement. Miyazaki eventually came forward to confirm that this theory was indeed true; he even visited with real-life patients to discuss their experiences so as to make his representation more authentic. His vision involved the portrayal of those who were evidently chronically ill but were making the best of their existence.
How to Play?
Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
