Backstory:
Ashitaka was born far to the east, the prince of the Emishi Village and their last hope for survival as the clan continued to dwindle in numbers. When the cursed boar, Nago, came to their village to rampage and try to kill as many humans as possible, Ashitaka defended his people and ended up cursed by the boar's final breaths. Forced to leave his home, Ashitaka wandered to the west to "see with eyes unclouded by hate" and hopefully find a way to lift the curse on him.
Eventually, he came across a great forest with its resident spirits in conflict with a mining town named Irontown that had set up nearby. The humans from the town were destroying the forest and so the spirits, seeiming led by a Princess Mononoke and her wolf companions, were retaliating by killing them and disrupting their work. Ashitaka tried to put himself between the two warring factions, attempting to get them to resolve their conflict peacefully and so quell any further bloodshed. This turned out to be fruitless as the leader of Irontown, Lady Eboshi, and the so called "princess of beasts", San, refused to compromise. He spent time with both groups knowing that neither were truly evil, only wanting to save their own homes and seeing the other as monsterous.
Things came to a head when Lady Eboshi killed the God of the Forest and thus unleashed its wrath. Despite her actions, Ashitaka saved her when the wolf goddess, Moro, severed her arm with her last act. With San at his side, he helped return the god's head and thus end its rampage. Irontown was destroyed and so Ashitaka vowed to help them rebuild whilst San returned to what remained of the forest with her wolf brethren.
The news of distant war eventually reached the rebuilt Irontown and not long after, Ashitaka noticed that San and her wolves had gone missing from the forest. He searched for them but found no trace of them or where they had gone. Worried for San, Ashitaka took Yakul and headed west yet again to where the war was brewing feeling in his gut that he would find San there amongst the chaos.
