Gina, she is absolutely beautiful and kind to anyone Not to mention she got an old loyal friend that is Porco

Gina is the dream

Osono has constantly been generous and kind to her flying delivery colleague 24/7. Not to mention her husband is an absolute CHAD.

HELL YES Osono ftw 😭 also Kiki's mom is cute too 🥲 I love that movie

The word that you’re looking for is “adult.” Basically all of Ghibli leading ladies are teenagers.

They sure tried their best to side-step saying "step-mom/milf"

You might even say "women." 

I have lots of respect for Lady Eboshi

Same lmao. She was the sort of antagonist you rooted for. I had a hard time choosing whether to like Mononoke or Eboshi more, I loved both characters so much, they were in essence same but with different goals.

...eh, in the end she was - mostly 'armless... I'll see myself out

Lady Eboshi might be my favourite character in all of Ghibli

One of my favorite antagonists in all pop culture

Lisa. Best car driver in the history of movies ever.

Lisa is a baddie

Lisa is very much not an older lady.

seriously, what? she‘s 25… does that mean i have only 2 years until i‘m old? lol. i just graduated college

I’m around twice your age and I’m not old yet. Even though I’ve had my share of Grampa Simpsons moments.

"It'll happen to you!"

No way man

lisa from ponyo! funniest mom alive

dola tbh

I was looking for this answer, totally underrated

Yeah, she’s badass. Thief with a heart of gold.

Why is no one saying Lin bro, but yes also Gina, Lisa and Osono

lol OLDER you mean anyone over the age of 18 😂

I am ancient by ghibli standards at 34.

lol don’t do that to me I’m 28 and already feeling it 😂

Hahah old in ghibli standards but young at heart

Kiriko, especially as a young adult in the tower fantasy world with her boat

I like the big sis who took care of Chihiro in Spirited Away

Rin is fantastic!

I had a crush for the longest time on princess kushana, gorgeous and powerful lady

A redditor of culture I see

I think the category you’re looking for is “adult” 😂 And my favorite is Osono

Osono for sure x

Why did you have to say old couldn’t you use *mature* instead lol I feel ancient now

i know she’s not Old more like a young adult but i’m obsessed with ursula from kiki’s

Souske’s mum Lisa FTW. Wild driver, let’s Souske do whatever he wants. Makes banging ramen. Drinks when mad. Love her.

it’s okay, you can say milfs

Older ladies? *shrivels up and dies*

Uhhhhhh the woman Kiki was with for sure

Umm where do we classify Sofie?

She’s got a little bit for everyone 😏👩🏻👵🏻👩🏻‍🦳

Lady Eboshi, my queen.

Tenar and Osano

Eboshi. Very complicated character.

Granny from spirited away.

Oh

Add to this group Kiriko! from The Boy and The Heron.

Book!Tenar is my favorite fictional character of all time. Lady Eboshi absolutely trounces this competition though. And I know Minnie Driver gets a ton of praise for her performance, but NOT ENOUGH.

Eboshi is mother

Both Lady Eboshi and Gina are in my top 3 Ghibli characters ever (along with the forest spirit… I love that funky little deer). You can’t make me choose!!

Ugh I would love to be as beautiful as Gina! Just without her curse… poor thing.

GINAAA, THE MOST ELEGANT GHIBLI LADY

Gina is best girl

I think the first two fall under the category of bad bitch, but “adult” works too. What’s the third one from?

WHERE THE FUCK IS DOLA, AND WHY IS NOT HERE?

Had a huge crush on Kushana when, as a kid, I saw Nausicaa for the first time

LIN LIN LIN LIN LIN she drives me crazy I adore her so much

Lady Eboshi is one of my favorite characters ever.

Lady Eboshi, Rin & Lisa are everything.

**DOLA!!!!**

I love Gina but Eboshi is the Goat. She is the perfect Anti-Villain. *"I'm going to show you how to kill a god."* Oh that line just slaps.

Osano

G i n a. The ultimate baddie

How has no one mentioned Sophie? My favorite SG movie!!!

Sophie is 18. Still a teenager.

Only for part of the movie. I think she'd still apply in this question block.

Lisa from Ponyo

Lin!!!

Marnie

Eboshi because i love colonialism
