Moro is the 300 year old goddess of wolves. She appears as an enormous white wolf with two tails. One day, years ago,
she cornered a group of travellers trespassing on her lands. As a desperate attempt, a traveller laid a baby at Moro's feet
to escape from her fangs. That baby grew up to be San, whom Moro treated as her own daughter. Moro is the leader of the Wolf
Clan, and is known as a ferocious warrior, very brave and strong.
Moro was injured shortly before Ashitaka arrived
by an ishibiya bullet, and she knows that the poison will eventually destroy her. Unlike Nago, the boar god who cursed Ashitaka,
Moro knows that death is smiling down at her; she just smiles right back. Moro will wait until her death comes, knowing that
she has lived long enough.
Moro is determined to use every last bit of strength within her to protect the forest she
loves. Although she was saving her strength to deal with Eboshi, she saves San instead. She does, however, take care of Eboshi
as well-- she bites off her right arm, thus preventing her from ever using a rifle again, although she had planned to bite
Lady Eboshi's head off.
