What was the old lady gray’s “curse”?
pochemuha

The "curse" of the Old Lady Gray was that Sophie would act and look like a 90-year-old woman.

What prompted the curse?

Sophie Hatter is a young woman who allegedly fell victim to a spell performed by the elderly woman who was once known as the Witch of the Waste.

Sophie never had enough confidence, but by continuing to do things or go on adventures with Howl, it was reported that she finally broke her curse and had a lot of confidence.

So take note that she had the appearance of an elderly woman lacking in confidence and was saddled with old age.

As a result, Sophie will act and look like a 90-year-old woman thanks to The Old Lady Gray's "curse."
