Is Zeniba from 'Spirited Away' Good or Bad? Although Yubaba's Twin Sister, She's Completely Different

Stills from the animated movie 'Spirited Away' (2001)

She lives alone and doesn't bother anyone.

Zeniba is one of the most mysterious heroines of Spirited Away. She is a witch, Yubaba's twin sister, but in many ways she is her complete opposite. If Yubaba is stern, greedy and domineering, then Zeniba is calm, friendly and even a little shy.

She lives alone, away from the hustle and bustle, in a cozy house near the Bottom of the Swamp station and welcomes guests with warmth. Despite the fact that it was from her that Haku stole the magical talisman, Zeniba does not thirst for revenge. On the contrary, she teaches Chihiro important things: kindness, courage and forgiveness.

Her glasses, in contrast to Yubaba's predatory gaze, emphasize wisdom and warmth. Zeniba is not just a good character, she is a symbol of change that begins with trust. In a world where magic can be both dangerous and life-saving, her image is a reminder that strength can be quiet and kindness can be decisive.
