Wolf's Rain is a story about four wolves named Kiba, Tsume, Toboe, and Hige. The world that they inhabit is something like that of the Ragnarok myth(at least, in the anime): a cold world with continuous winters with very little population outside of cities/villages. In Wolf's Rain, wolves have been rumored to have been extinct for 200 years. However, wolves actually do still exist. But they hide themselves by having a human form, which is actually seen as an illusion to normal humans.All of the four wolves end up meeting each other by accident in the city. Tsume meets Kiba in a confrontation for example, while later when Kiba is captured in wolf form, he meets Hige. Toboe literally just stumbles upon Tsume while walking in the city. Kiba is looking for a place called Paradise, which can only be found by following the scent of a lunar flower. Lunar flowers don't even really exist, except in the form of the flower maiden named Cheza. Cheza was an experiment, formed from a lunar flower, made to lead the Nobles(basically the "ruling people") to find their own Paradise. Darcia III, a Noble, is the one who wants Cheza for himself, so he can open up a Paradise just for the Nobles. The four wolves eventually befriend Cheza(since she is the only one who can lead the wolves to Paradise) after she escapes the hands of Darcia III.Although the wolves are the "main" characters, there are other minor characters just as interesting as well. There's Quent and his wolfdog Blue. Quent mercilessly hunts down Kiba, Tsume, Toboe, and Hige, since he can see their "true" forms. Quent decided to hunt down any surviving wolves after his family was supposedly killed by them. Blue will ultimately awaken her wolf form, thanks to the appearance of Cheza.
