The Borrower Homily Clock is Pod's wife and Arrietty's mother in the Studio Ghibli film The Secret World of Arrietty directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi. She was voiced by Shinobu Otake in the original Japanese dub, and by Olivia Coleman in the UK dub, and Amy Poehler in the US dub.

Personality[]

For the most part, Homily is nervous and unsure throughout the film, largely relying on Pod and later Arrietty. She seems to worry over Arrietty and her adventurous spirit. She is a pessimist at her core, always warning Arrietty about the dangers of going outside. However she is still happy for what she has. She also has a perchant for luxury.

She believes that she and her family are the last Borrowers on Earth. But this claim get invalidated by Spiller who visits the family and reveals to them that he has seen at least three other Borrowers so far. This makes her very happy and hopes that her cousin is alright.
