Hatter, Honey

ハニー・ハッター

Honey Hatter is a minor character in the film Howl's Moving Castle. She is the stepmother of Sophie and Lettie.
Her name in the original novel is Fanny Hatter.
She owns a steam-powered car and is driven around by a chauffeur.
Although she is not Sophie's biological mother, she cares deeply for her daughter. She worries about her upon learning that her daughter works as a cleaner in Howl's Castle. Her close bond with Sophie is evident in the tears she sheds during their reunion.
She wears the latest fashion from Kingsbury to gain admiration. Sophie, by contrast, is modest. Her patriotism is shown through her hat, which features two toy cannons. Suliman forced her to smuggle a Black Worm into Howl's Castle; otherwise, she would never see her husband again.
