What is your idea of a princess?  Some are like Cinderella, where they go from rags to riches.  Others are born in the royal palace, learning all of their royal duties before their gradual ascension to the throne.

But what about an orphaned girl that was raised by wild wolves?  A now feral woman has learned all the ways of her adoptive wolf mother and is now a mighty warrior of the forest.  Her speed, agility, and senses are all sharp as she is intent on defending the forest and making it a habitable place for all the animals and vegetation that live within it.  This is San.  You may also know her as Princess Mononoke, and she is ready to defend her forest kingdom from all of her enemies, including Prince Ashitaka, who she eventually befriends.  This is the premise for Princess Mononoke, a renowned classic written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Muse:  This is another good one.  I really like the story!

Twin Muse:  I like San!  She’s a tough character that doesn’t give up.

I really like this movie as well.  But it will be later in the day before we see it.

Muse:  Let me know when you’re ready and we’ll watch another classic!

Twin Muse:  I’ll be play my video games in the meantime, so let me know.

I will.  I will now get ready for the day.

That’s the game plan.  Get ready and watch Princess Mononoke later on.

Today’s high is going to be 31 degrees and the silver lining is seeing Princess Mononoke later today.

To those of you who love warrior princesses of the forest, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Muse: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?  *puts on face paint and changes into tribal clothes*  Let’s sneak into Kyle’s room when he’s ready to watch the movie.

Twin Muse:  We’ll have to let Moro know and we’ll quietly ride her into the room.  *puts on face paint and changes into tribal clothes*  We have a forest to defend!
