Description
Mrs. Hudson, whose full given name is Marie, is a young comely widow who serves as the landlady of 221B Baker Street in the anime Sherlock Hound, a significant departure from the older woman typically portrayed in traditional adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Her late husband, Jim, was a pilot, and this connection to the aviation world proves to be a valuable asset to Sherlock Hound in his investigations, as she maintains strong ties and friendships with local aviators who were friends of her late husband.
In terms of personality, Mrs. Hudson possesses a gentle nature that is complemented by a serenely dignified and level-headed demeanor, much like Hound himself. She is remarkably resourceful and skilled, excelling in activities far beyond typical domestic duties, notably as a high-speed driver and as a sharpshooter with a revolver. Her motivations are rooted in her loyalty to her lodgers and her desire to see justice served, often putting herself in active roles during cases rather than remaining a passive observer. She is depicted as a golden retriever, in keeping with the anthropomorphic canine theme of the series.
While she serves as a love interest for multiple characters, including Hound, Watson, and even Professor Moriarty, her romantic connections are primarily oriented toward Hound. Her role in the story extends beyond that of a simple housekeeper; she is a capable and active participant in many adventures, providing crucial support, local knowledge, and practical skills. Development-wise, she is portrayed as a strong and capable figure who can handle herself in dangerous situations, and she was conceived by Hayao Miyazaki as a potential true mastermind of Baker Street, a concept that was ultimately not used in the final series. Her key relationships are defined by her deep bond with Hound and Watson, whom she cares for and supports, and her adversarial but intrigued dynamic with Moriarty. Her notable abilities thus include expert marksmanship, skilled driving, and resourceful problem-solving, all of which make her a formidable and essential member of the Baker Street household.
