Character Profile: Lady Eboshi Gozen

Lady Eboshi Gozen is the owner of Iron Town and San's sworn enemy because she is using to much of the natural resources of the forest. However, Lady Eboshi is not a bad or evil person. She actually has a kind and caring heart, and this is proven by the fact that she houses and cares for a group of Lepers who, in return for her kindness (and of their own free will), help her make weapons for the residents of Iron town, namely the women of Iron Town. One other detail about Eboshi is that she gives the women the most power in the village (they are, after all, stronger than the men because they spend the whole day working the billows to keep the Iron works working).
