Rakka is the newest addition to Old Home and the main character of Haibane Renmei. The series largely focuses on Rakka's adjustment to the strange new world of Glie. Although happy to have several new friends, Rakka cannot help but wonder who she was before she became a Haibane and if her family is somewhere in this world. She feels a connection with the birds of Glie, especially since her dream involved falling with only a crow as company. She is very amiable and quickly becomes attached to her new family.
Haibane Renmei
A dream of falling from the sky...and then birth. Rakka is born from a large cocoon into the Old Home, greeted by a group of females with small wings on their backs and shining halos above their heads. Soon Rakka's own wings grow, a halo is placed on her head and she is told that she must work in the nearby town of Grie. She soon realizes that the town and the entire world they live in are confined behind the Wall, a tall, impenetrable wall that none except the mysterious Toga are allowed to exit.
