Although she is a literal warrior princess, San is fundamentally defined by her appreciation of her by nature. Adopted by the wolf goddess Moro when she was just a baby, the "Wolf Girl" unsurprisingly develops a wild personality. However, despite her (justified) coldness towards humans, she is very capable of compassion. Initially, this is a quality that he only exhibits towards the inhabitants of the forest (animals, gods and other beings), but as shown later throughout the film, by the slow and gradual, but real, progress of his bond with Ashitaka, she is also able to accept and develop admiration, and even affection for a fellow human being, a process that also helps her accept her own humanity. When Ashitaka's gunshot wound was healed by the forest spirit, San recognized that she was not an enemy of the forest and defended it from the wild boars. She is stubborn, short-tempered, brave and protective, and her main concern is protecting the forest and the animals she lives with. At first, San rejects her own humanity and seems quite misanthropic, and she also considers herself only a wolf. Despite this, she eventually comes to accept Ashitaka, who was the first to see her humanity
