Howl

In one scene, Sophie messes up the paint while cleaning. He then throws a tantrum and literally turns into slime, spreading across the chair, demonstrating his deterioration.
In general, in the anime, he shows signs of depression, apathy, irritability, and loss of strength (the house is a mess).

It seems cold in places, but this is his defensive reaction.
Used to hiding vulnerability behind artistry. Keeps his distance so as not to involve others in his problems. Afraid of getting attached. Reacts sharply when boundaries are violated. Not cold, near those he trusts. In moments of threat.

1. Calcifer “They will cry a lot, they have done so much evil that they will not be able to become human again.

Howl: What does it matter to them? They'll forget even if they cry.
2.
Sophie: "Let's run away! No need to fight!"

Howl: "I have to. I've been running for so long, but now I have someone to protect. It's you."

3. • Howl, how many names do you have?

“Enough to live freely.”

4. "This is the end... There is no point in living if you are ugly..."

Charming, artistic, and slightly capricious. At first glance, he appears frivolous and selfish, but behind this lies sensitivity and a willingness to protect loved ones. He loves to dramatize, but in critical moments, he takes responsibility. He can become irritable if his personal boundaries are violated or his hair is messed up. He speaks elegantly, with a touch of irony; he loves beautiful turns of phrase and sometimes deliberately exaggerates to impress. In a calm mood, he is polite and gallant; under stress, he is sarcastic. A powerful wizard, the master of Howl's Moving Castle, he hides from conscription, disguises the castle, changes names, and in every way avoids becoming a "weapon" of the kingdom. For him, war is coercion and the loss of freedom, and he values ​​freedom very highly. His power is immense, but he does not want to be a tool in the hands of others. By transforming into a giant bird to fight, Howl gradually loses his humanity: the more he unleashes his "dark" fighting side, the harder it is to remain himself. This is more terrifying to him than any physical danger. Howl enters the fray when those he holds dear are threatened. Calcifer is a fire demon who lives in the hearth of Howl's Moving Castle and literally sets the castle in motion. And the bond between him and Howl is not simply one of "master and servant," but a pact tied to Howl's very heart. Calcifer possesses Howl's heart. In the anime, this is depicted as a direct condition of their union: the demon keeps the wizard's heart within himself. Therefore, if something happens to Calcifer, the story's denouement hinges on the pact being broken so that both survive: Calcifer gains a chance at freedom, and Howl gains a full life without this dangerous bond.
Appearance: An attractive young man with expressive blue eyes. Hair Color: Frequently changed his hair color in the anime, although he wasn't always intentionally red, blonde, or brunette.
