Toboe

Toboe is the main protagonist of Wolf's Rain and youngest member of the group.

He is voiced by Mona Marshall in the English Version.

Appearance

In his natural/true form, Toboe is a light brown, often gaining a red hue in some lighting. Humans often mistake his wolf form for a dog on account of his slender size and friendly demeanor.

In his human form, he has neck-length, reddish-brown hair parted on the side. His eyes are a light, golden brown. He wears a faded, red zipper shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, olive-green cargo pants and dark green, military boots.

He wears four, silver bangles on his right wrist, given to him by Granny.

Personality

Toboe looks up to Tsume and usually follows him when the group splits up. Though he still acts like a puppy at times, the others consider him a valuable friend in their group. Toboe is the kindest and most empathic member of the wolf pack. He also seems to have the best hearing out of all of them. He is often more shy than bold, although when the pack is in dire threat, his rage can stand beyond his timid nature and propel him ravenously into battle. An example of his courage is when he defends the pack against a giant walrus. He maintains an affection for humans that none of the other wolves can understand (with the exception of Blue). Toboe saves Quent from freezing to death in the snow by sharing his body warmth with him, and is later grateful to discover that Quent has survived despite the fact that Quent immediately tries to shoot him.

History

He was raised as a pet by "Granny", an elderly woman, who he accidentally killed in an unrestrained act of playfulness.

Toboe unsuccessfully attempts to protect Quent from Darcia and both he and Quent are mortally wounded. Realizing that it was Toboe who saved him previously, Quent finally understands that wolves are not evil and comforts the dying wolf as his own life ebbs away. As he dies, Toboe has a vision of Paradise in which he is reunited with Granny and able to run and play as a pup. Later Tsume spends some time alone with Toboe's body and drops his tough facade to weep for his friend, even confessing the truth about his scar. After Earth's regeneration, Toboe is seen in a city in his human form holding an abandoned kitten.
