(&& calcifer)‌:

Calcifer looked back at the woman, smiling at his best friend. “And this is Sophie Hatter, she’s one of the co-owners of this business.” He commented. “And she’s right about the red hat. It will be best.” The customer smiled and purchased the hat before walking out of the store with a smile on their face. Turning to Sophie, Calcifer wore a smile of his own. “Did Howl leave again? Thought you two were off running errands?” 

Sophie waved. “Show off that bright smile and go in with confidence.” The hatter turned back towards her friend when the costumer left as she played with her wedding ring. “Of course he did. We were running errands, got them done, were gonna come home, have a nice cup of tea, and then he was summoned somewhere. I mean the consolation i have is that he always comes back.” She smiled forced but shrugged, “Whatcha up to?”

(&& calcifer)‌:

Calcifer had been mostly working the front of the show today, something he was rather good at. Seeing someone walk in, he looked up at smiled before speaking to them. “Welcome to Pendragon & Co.” He spoke. “Something specific you’re looking for? Magical remedy? Lovely hat? Nice fire?” Calcifer continued, snapping his fingers so a tiny flame appeared before blowing it out. “Joking about that last one. Pretty sure my business partners would kill me if I let this place burn.” He commented with a laugh. “So, what can I help you with?” 

“I wouldn’t kill you I would just toss you out the window of the castle. You’d be fine, just inconvenienced.” Sophie’s sharp response came from out of the back as she walked carrying a thing of flowers. It was quiet enough that only Calcifer could hear it. “Its the red hat that looks best. Wear it to your job interview and you’ll surly get the job.” She smiled before leaning on the counter standing next to her tall friend.

— ✧ Introducing SOPHIE HATTER-PENDRAGON the THIRTY THREE year old canon character from HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE. She is a CO-OWNER of PENDRAGON AND CO. She is known to be CARING and WARMHEARTED and SNARKY AND SELF CONSCIENCE . In another universe they’d be known as JENNA COLEMAN.  

Distorted image, broken mirror and a cracked facade. There are words that RANG in her head. Worthless. Each day was a struggle to clean out those thoughts. She is the most quiet heroism, the softest belief that others deserve better and second chances. She is stand up, heart beating, legs shaking, but shout it out kind of saving love. Her words have power, each sound that escapes her mouth a magic spell, pouring with compassion, overflowing with it. She is the kiss that breaks the spell, the unwavering determination, exasperated and always filled with good intention.

Meet Sophie Hatter-Pendragon(howl’s idea)

No longer is she the timid mouse of a girl that she was now she is a crazy, overworked, chaotic and exasperated shop owner, wife of Howl, friend to Calcifer and caretaker of a dog, child and old woman. It never ends with her. 

And she can complain all she wants but Sophie loves it.

She’s magical. Well sort of.

 Sophie can “breathe” life into objects. It’s hinted at in the movie that Sophie has some sort of magic. It’s really subtle but when Sophie takes Calcifer out of the Moving Castle, he claims that he doesn’t think it would work if anyone else did it. Sophie believes he can and tells him that. He eventually does what she asks. When she douses Calcifer with fire he doesn’t die only because she wanted him to live. It’s a nod to the books, there are also other little moments. She can’t do it willy nilly though. It’s a powerful magic that usually manifests itself when she’s under intense emotion. Basically she’s just giving the item a destiny. She has other magic, learning from Howl, but she’s naturally talented(though she’ll never say so) but for the most part she’s not using her magic.

She talks to hats. Do not question it. It’s just what she does. She talks to everything. She’s got a lot going on. Let her be okay.

She’s been married to Howl for a few years now. And things are still as chaotic. They argue because they are both strong willed people but two minutes late they are making up. In Auradon they own a little shop, it acts like both potions and magical things as well as Sophie’s hats, flowers and sewing. It’s basically a mismatch of things like the Castle.

In her house she has, Markl, The Witch of the Waste and Heen the Dog. She takes of them, Howl, the Shop and barely has a moment for herself. So she’s always exasperated. Sophie wouldn’t mind a day off

Sophie is a good person, has a lot thoughts about Auradon’s policy on VKs and has a lot to say but Howl thinks she needs to keep her mouth shut and Sophie thinks Howl needs to stop talking. 

They love each other.

When I was younger I thought I might like to be a casting director because I love to read and imagine who would be good playing each role. Plus I’d get to watch loads of films and theatre and use it as research. I think now as a plan B I’d like to do something that you can be commissioned to do – like a painter, photographer or writer. Something you can do in your own space and time. Although I don’t know if I can paint, really. I’ve never really tried.
