Description of Calcifer:

Calcifer is a Fire Demon bound to the castle hearth. He is a fallen star who was supposed to die once he hit the earth but was caught by Howl. He allows Sophie to enter the castle because he can sense her ability to talk life into things, making her perfect to lift the contract between himself and Howl. She agrees on the terms that he break her spell in return. He created and moves the castle. He says that his contract with Howl isn't doing either of them any good. He can be just as cowardly as Howl, preferring to run rather than fight. He is fairly crabby and a little mean-spirited, which stems from being bound to the castle hearth for over five years. He has a natural fear of water.
