Witch of the Waste

The Witch of the Waste was a powerful witch who was in love with Howl, and he liked her until he found out that she was actually very ugly. Because of her considerable girth, servants are needed to carry her from place to place. She still doesn't give up on Howl, however, and constantly tries to attract his attention by doing things like turning Sophie into an old woman.

When her powers are drained by Madame Suliman, the Witch actually becomes quite nice, with the side effect of becoming a gibbering wreck.
