Main Characters: little image SHEETA:The girl who holds the mystery of the Crystal. Because of that, she is be ing sought by the government and by pirates.In reality, she is Queen Lusheeta,th e legitimate successor to Laputa's throne.She adores Pazu.Unlike giving a strong protagonist theme like Nausicaa or Mononoke, Hayao Miyazaki gave sheeta rather a softer look. And it is surely one of the most romantic character that he made. little image PAZU a.k.a. Patsu in some versions:A boy who lives in a mining town.Energetic an d smart. Pazu has the explorers thirst for the thrill of discovery.Interested in mechienery also.Saving Sheeta from her fall, he protects her and goes to find La puta with her.As a result, he is caught up in things. . . little image DORA a.k.a. Dola in some versions:The lady Captain of the pirate airship, the Ti ger Moth.At first trying to get Sheeta's Crystal,she then decides to help Pazu a nd Sheeta. little image DORA'S SONS:Named Charles, Louie, and Henri.They manage the Tiger Moth in accord ance with Dora's orders.They are strong, but mixed-up. little image MOOSKA:In order to get his hands on a Crystal, the man was sent as a special age nt.One of the reamarkable negative character of Hayao Miyazki. Normally in a typ ical Hayao Miyazaki film there is no particular villain that can be marked as a bad person. Mooska is one of the exception. little image
