Wolf's Rain - Characters

Characters

• Kiba (キバ, lit. "Fang"?) is a Tundra Wolf (or Arctic Wolf) who is dedicated solely to finding the Paradise and the Lunar Flower for opening the way to it. He will protect Cheza with his life. Kiba primarily acts on his instincts, which sometimes lead him to behave rashly, and the others to call him idealistic. Full of pride for his wolf heritage, Kiba initially expresses disgust at wolves who use human disguises, but eventually realizes that it is necessary to survive.

• Tsume (ツメ, lit. "Claw"?) is a Grey Wolf with a big scar across his chest, not counting many others. Rough and self-reliant, Tsume is a strong fighter who keeps his true feelings to himself. He joins the others after his human gang in city betrays him. He does not initially believe in Paradise. Tsume takes leading positions along with Kiba. Though he frequently quarrels with Kiba over their journey, he eventually accepts his leadership and comes to trust in him, also growing protective of Toboe. Later he really wants to know if there is Paradise. And he confesses that he made all this long way only because he wanted to bring Toboe to Paradise.

• Hige (ヒゲ, lit. "Whiskers"?) is a Mexican Wolf with a carefree attitude, who seems quite comfortable living in human society. Hige likes to converse with girls and to eat, he is quite chubby. After meeting Kiba, he goes along with the idea of searching for Paradise without much argument. Hige wears a collar around his neck, but he doesn't remember how he got it. Later, Hige falls in love with Blue as they continue on their quest for Paradise. Voiced by: Akio Suyama (Japanese), Joshua Seth (English)

• Toboe (トオボエ, Tōboe?, lit. "Howling") is a Red Wolf and the youngest of the group. He is considered the pup or the runt by the others, but after he desperately fights a huge walrus, the other wolfs change their mind about him. He was raised by an old woman who found him outside the city, and still wears the bracelets she gave him. Due to his upbringing, Toboe is friendly and protective towards most humans. Voiced by: Hiroki Shimowada (Japanese), Mona Marshall (English)

• Cheza (チェザ?) is also called the "Flower Maiden". The wolves need Cheza to find and open the gateway to Paradise. She was created via alchemy from a Lunar Flower, and as such needs water and sunlight to survive. Originally asleep and under study in a lab in Freeze City, Cheza is eventually able to join the wolves, whom she loves, and travels with them. She refers to herself in the third person, usually adapted to 'this one'. The spilling of wolf blood makes Cheza scream, and she has the ability to heal them or put them to sleep through her song and touch. Voiced by: Arisa Ogasawara (Japanese), Sherry Lynn (English)

• Blue is a black Wolfdog. At first, she travels along with Quent Yaiden, hunting wolves. But Blue finds out that she is actually half-wolf, and unwilling to hunt her own kind, Blue leaves Quent to join wolves, eventually falling in love with Hige.
