Hi there! I'm Aimee and I'm new! I'm bringing you Howl Pendragon from the book (not the Studio Ghibli film) Howl's Moving Castle.
If you've only seen the film, Howl won't be utterly unfamiliar to you. He's snarkier, and there are definitely some changed details from the film. The bottom line is that the film version is much nicer than this one (Diana Wynne Jones said this herself about both Howl and Sophie in the movie).
If you're not familiar with the film, it's a pretty fun fantasy. Howl is a wizard who's rumored to eat the hearts of young girls, and the protagonist ends up his cleaning lady while trying to figure out how to get him (or his fire demon Calcifer) to break a spell that added about 60 years to her life. Howl is moody, mysterious, sneaky, and lazy, but not actually a bad person. I've got links in the profile if you want to check out what Wikipedia has to say about him, and of course my write up of his personality.
Quick note about me: I work odd hours because I'm a copy editor at a newspaper, so I don't do AIM. No one's on when I am, for the most part. PMs are okay but kind of iffy, considering they don't always pop up when you log in. Email or a comment on the journal is best. Feel free to bug me at onethousandnamesATgmail.com. Looking forward to playing!
