Ashitaka (Princess Mononoke)

Ashitaka is the main protagonist from the Princess Mononoke series.
== Charactah Account ==
The last prince of the Emishi tribe. A prepossessed and earnest young man; he is as skilled in war as he is of strong moral fiber but one day his ethics and his soul will be tested from within as well as without. Exiled from his home village after being inflicted with a curse on his arm, he journeys to the lands of the west in an odyssey to lift the curse and to see with eyes unclouded by hate.
Ashitaka is very stern and determined to achieve his goals, not allowing his setbacks to stop him from curing his curse and saving his village. He is also extremely curious in nature, wanting to discover who San truly is after witnessing her sucking venom out of one of the wolves. Despite his hard outer shell, Ashitaka is also very kind and only wishes for the best outcomes for both sides, not wishing for either side to shed blood in destructive wars, and wants peace between the forces of nature and humanity.
His affinity for peace is portrayed several times throughout the movie. One example of his tendency to only fight as a last resort is his interruption of San and Eboshi's fight. Even though both are attacking him, he initially tries to convince them that hatred is blinding them, and when he's further attacked, he dispatches them in a non-lethal manner.
