Kiba

Kiba is the main protagonist of Wolf's Rain, and is the first wolf character introduced in the series. He is destined to find the Lunar Flower and open Paradise, his belief in the latter never faltering throughout the journey he and his pack face.

In Wolf's Rain: Tanda's Song, Kiba is featured as the main supporting character to Tanda in their story. He is the one to initially find them and welcome them to his pack, despite Tsume's notion against it due to the fact Kiba is clearly smitten with the strange wolf.

Appearance

 * As a wolf, Kiba has white fur and vivid yellow eyes. Over the course of the show, he sustains a multitude of injuries and scars, though none remain permanantly.


 * In Rain, Kiba is blinded after his fight with Darcia, however in Wolf's Rain no such injury occurs. He is only mortally wounded, with the most major wounds being in his hind legs and throat.

Human guise

 * As a human, Kiba appears as a young male. He has dark brunette hair that appears somewhat messy with small bangs that part to the sides. His complexion is pale and he is seen wearing a white henley, dark gray bomber jacket with a blue collar, blue jeans, and black converse-style sneakers. The ends of his jeans are also frayed at the bottoms.


 * Unlike his packmates and other wolves shown, Kiba's human guise has blue-green eyes instead of his vivid yellow seen in his true wolf appearance.

Personality

 * Kiba is rather stoic at first, having a very prideful disposition in the fact that he is a wolf. He at first doesn't understand the need to disguse himself, as he sees it as a means of giving up his true self. However, in order to survive he goes through with the disguse throughout the series. This is also thanks to Hige's challenge to his ideals, that he allows himself to hide safely amongst the humans. He does retain his standoff-ish attitude for a while, noticably pissing off Tsume with his persona.


 * However, underneath this exterior, Kiba is a courageous and faithful friend. He jumps to Tsume's rescue when the gray wolf and Toboe are attacked by robot. His courageous nature also goes somewhat in hand with his sense of right and wrong, after he challenges Zoli's way of survival. He becomes livid at the sight of wolves being used as tools for humans, and has to be restrained from doing anything rash. Kiba is also a very protective individual as well, as seen with how he acts around Cheza. His attitude there also causes some strife with his friends.


 * After a while though, Kiba begins to open up, letting a lot his stress and worry off of his chest. He explains to Tsume, while delerious from pain, his past and his need to seek out Paradise. After his experience in the Desert's Bones Paradise, Kiba is also notabably less uptight and stressed. He remains true to his cause to seek out Paradise and reunite with Cheza. In his last few moments, Kiba reveals his biggest fear and that is, he doesn't wish to be alone. This of course coming after losing everyone that he has lost, in such a short span of time.

Backstory

 * Kiba was born to into a good-sized pack. However, as a pup his homeland was destroyed by Lady Jagura and her army. They burnt the land, and as a result Kiba's packmates were unable to escape and perished in the flames. Kiba himself was lucky as the land supposedly protected him from such a fate and he was saved by a human.


 * He stayed by the human's side until one night they spoke to each other. The human urged Kiba to seek out his purpose and to follow the voice inside him that is pushing for him to seek out a place. From there, Kiba left and was told to never look back. As he traveled, Kiba came close to the edge of a city and was wounded by a hunter. Seeking shelter, Kiba entered the city and found a place to rest under a large tree.

Trivia

 * Unlike the rest of the wolves in his pack, Kiba is the only one who does not retain a feature from his wolf form while in his human-guise.
