Howl's Moving Castle (Movie)
Madame Suliman serves as the King's Royal Sorcerer who provides magic for the country's military forces and the King's personal use. She uses her power to hunt down wizards and witches across the kingdom, taking them in as apprentices and turning them into monsters to serve in the army, or stripping them of their power if they refuse. Madame Suliman has a special liking for Howl as she expresses her regret of Howl not arriving to the palace saying that she had finally found someone that could replace her. She says this to Sophie who is posing as Howl's mother upon his request to avoid going to the palace. Madame Suliman however realises who Sophie truly is, and that she is in love with Howl.
