what was with the little girl?


even though it had a very simple story line i still enjoyed the film. i just couldn't understand why the little girl followed around the coffin? Who was she?

The little girl was the spirit of the Goddess of Destruction.

She seems to be tormenting Grave for taking the coffin, by keeping him from eating/sleeping. You'll notice that she eats his food at the bar, and that right before the pig comes to life, she giggles. She is likely the cause for the dead rising right before he entered the gate as well. So that only the strongest person could have it perhaps?

Also notice when the wingless angel... Yuri, I think she is credited as, is banging on the coffin, the girl starts to cry, or how she seems to just appear some places (falling down as Grave walks away, only to appear on the coffin itself).

She may even be the reason people are drawn to the coffin, and willing to die over rumors.

I'm guessing the majority of the Goddess' power is in the coffin as well as her body, and that the little girl is a "dream" she is having.

I saw her as the Goddess' attendant, but yeah, other than that I agree completely.

Though I guess it is open to interpretation, and ambiguous meaning, I thought that little girl was sort of the inner spirit of the goddess. Also, before the goddess comes to life near the end she goes inside the coffin first. And reading these boards I read a post about a scene being cut with the little girl with a sword and blood all over her face, meaning she must've killed/destroyed some people. So I guess that proves my point even further.

That's a good interpretation. I never thought of it like that. I actually thought that was a boy and I was sure he was evil but not sure how he was linked to the goddess.

The little girl (IMO) is the goddess of destruction. If she was just a "care taker" then she wouldn't have gotten into the coffin herself once it was unlocked. The kid was just a lesser form of the GoD, her consciousness but not her full power form. So she is able to follow what is going on "in spirit" even though she is not yet released to do destruction. Once the coffin is unlocked, the kid (sort of like a key) climbs in and the GoD full form is then released.

I can't understand your crazy moon language.
