Wizard Howl is a mysterious, reclusive wizard. He is twenty-seven years old and known for being very flamboyant and wicked. His notorious moving castle has recently been spotted near Market Chipping and rumours have begun to spread that he is searching for beautiful young women whose hearts he may steal. He comes from Wales, a country unknown to most in the book, where his family still remain unaware of his activities in Sophie&#039;s world or of its existence.    Despite his reputation, Howl is in reality an endearing, charming man who is intelligent and considerate, if somewhat self-appreciative and stubborn at times. He enjoys &quot;slithering out&quot; of uncomfortable situations, often in comical ways.    Howl is described as being tall and suave, fond of dyeing his hair and wearing impressive suits. However, he is described by Calcifer as &quot;very vain for a plain man with mud-coloured hair&quot; - Howl is not naturally handsome, but he has &quot;charm&quot;, both literally and figuratively.

"Sweet JP"—a nickname earned for JP's personality and retro style, though most likely from a refusal to mount any form of weapons or upgrades on his race car. Seemingly, the only advantages of JP's car, the Trans Am 20000 WR, are Frisbee's modifications and the Old man's mechanical skills.  One of two human racers to qualify for REDLINE, though through unusual circumstances (default and popular demand). An ambitious and talented racer, JP pushes his driving skill and soul to their limits when he feels the time is right, throwing an extravagant show whilst putting his body and vehicle on the line for the ultimate racing experience.
