Towards the end of the film, No-Face meets with Zeniba, another witch who works alone, in contrast to Yubaba, who runs her bathhouse with a complex hierarchy. At this stage, No-Face is no longer aggressive and is quite docile, even obeying Chihiro's orders, like "sit" and "behave yourself."Īs a monstrous, out-of-control being, No-Face exhibits all the negative traits of those he had swallowed (most significantly, Aogaeru), becoming a brash, arrogant, loud and selfish creature whose obsession with Chihiro proved troubling for everyone around it. She accepts him as a co-journeyer into the train ride on her way to Swamp Bottom after he calms down and is out of the Bathhouse. He becomes extremely volatile after being fed the River Spirit's emetic dumpling by Chihiro, and, while fleeing from the obviously now-hostile spirit, she calls out to him twice to follow her. No-Face becomes obsessed with Chihiro, and wants to see her and her only. While this ultimately brought upon the opposite effect, Chihiro was somewhat true to No-Face after she invited him and accepted help from him. Not knowing much about the Bathhouse or about other spirits in general, No-Face learned by example and adapted to his surroundings.Įxposed to the corruptive thoughts and greed of the workers, he quickly grew to encompass their personalities, hoping that his endeavor to be like those around Chihiro would eventually garner her affection for him. His vocabulary consisted of grunts and moans as opposed to coherent words. No-Face is a lonely spirit who begins to follow Chihiro Ogino after having developed an interest in her sincerity. An ominous, expressionless mask with grey-violet highlights is painted on his "head" of sorts, and while there is a "mouth" painted on the mask, No-Face has shown that his real, expertly-hidden mouth is larger than the one present on his mask.
While it is unknown if No-Face has a physical body, it is shown that he can develop arms and legs with the capability of leaving footprints as he walks. His figure resembles that of a long, black tube. His organs are visible, pulsating in several states.

The rest of the night was a wonderful kaleidoscope of waltzing by the full moon, heartfelt speeches, love in the air and magic sparks.When first introduced, No-Face appeared in a semi-transparent state while shifting in and out of visibility. The good vibes continued inside and around the reception barn with “Spirited Away” signature cocktails and congratulatory hugs. The cold tidal waves, storms, and thunderbolts “Our roots closely intertwined beneath the earth, As a final touch, all of the guests read an ancient Chinese poem “To The Oak” in unison while the brides took ceremonial bows to honor heaven, earth, their parents and lastly each other. It was the perfect spot for a first look. The last one led Mollie to the banks of the Potomac River, which borders Jubilee Farms and where Qifei waited patiently, resembling a river spirit from afar with her flying veil and delicate bejeweled wedding gown. Next, Mollie was not allowed to see Qifei until she solved 10 puzzles written in DIY note cards, another Chinese tradition. The day began with a traditional hair combing ceremony, where the lucky lady of their choice blessed them with a harmonious marriage and a houseful of children (and grandchildren). Qifei and Molly even scheduled their special day to coincide with a full moon, which set the stage for one of the most dramatic wedding exits! Yet what impressed me the most was that instead of distracting guests, these carefully chosen details placed the focus squarely on the brides and their love for one another.Įqually important to the brides was that they pay homage to Qifei’s Chinese heritage. Qifei’s custom-made rose-gold shield shaped engagement ring was not only symbolic of the movie, but also its engraving and mill-work represented the two female forms, forever embraced. They also prepared custom fan wedding programs that fit right in with the “Spirited Away” theme.

They sprinkled subtle details that resembled iconic movie elements, like a parasol and blush and sage green flowers. They searched far and wide before selecting the magical Jubilee Farms as their venue, complete with its fairy tale Japanese garden and koi pond with a signature red bridge. To do so the brides went to great lengths to honor director Hayao Miyazaki’s vision.
Qifei and Mollie’s whimsical wedding was inspired by the animated masterpiece “Spirited Away,” and like the film’s young heroin, guests were transported to another world.
