This romanticized image of rural living is also presented through the characters. Satsuki and Mei aren't just here to meet Totoro and go on wild adventures; they're also adapting to a country lifestyle. Early on, the story makes a big deal about Satsuki learning to do housework the old-fashioned way, and later contrasts this with the sheltered life of her city-bred Tokyo relatives. Mei, who is first portrayed as shy and afraid of her new environment, eventually grows into the true heroine of the story—a child of nature, who views Totoro and friends not with skepticism but a welcoming sense of wonder. The supporting cast of villagers also adds a dimension not seen in the movie: they interact with the main characters frequently, creating an atmosphere of country hospitality, and (surprisingly) give the book a more cohesive ending than the anime.
