San, also known as Princess Mononoke, is a central character in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film *Princess Mononoke* (1997). Raised by wolves, she is a fierce and independent young woman deeply connected to the forest and its spirits.

Abandoned by her human parents, San was taken in by Moro, a powerful wolf goddess, and raised as one of her own. Consequently, she harbors a deep resentment towards humanity, viewing them as destroyers of the natural world. She is a skilled warrior, fighting tirelessly to protect the forest from the encroaching ironworks and its leader, Lady Eboshi.

San struggles with her dual identity – being both human and a creature of the forest. Throughout the film, she is torn between her loyalty to Moro and the forest and her own human nature. The arrival of Ashitaka, a young prince cursed by a corrupted boar god, forces her to confront these internal conflicts and ultimately seek a balance between the needs of humans and the natural world. She does not have a presence in other films or TV shows outside of *Princess Mononoke*.
