Hikari:

"It sucks that us Haibane aren't allowed to go above Grade C on the Zettai Ryouiki scale."

She's the sweet one, along with Rakka. Works at a bakery. Has a secret mischevious side.

Kana:

"So what if I look like i'm about to embark on the cultural revolution, I can fix a god damn clock tower."

Brash tomboy who's really not as much of a jerk as she appears. Chases crows. Can repair all kinds of clocks.

Kuu:

"So guess what I just found out about old Washi. Hint, it starts with 'D' and ends with 'epends'."

The kid. Energetic. Likes to imitate others. Worked as a waitress. Often mistaken for a boy.

Nemu:

"I could go for some potato chips right now...and peanut butter...soda...pizza...chocolate chips...and water, man, lotsa water."

Reki's oldest friend. Name means 'sleep' which is apt as she's prone to it. A gentle soul. Librarian. Reads to kids.

Rakka:

"Oh I just KNOW Mister Scrooge will give us a holiday bonus this year!"

The other protagonist of Haibane Renmei. Dreamed of falling. A good kid. Rather confused by her new circumstances. Has bad hair days.

Hyouko:

"All I wanted was a pepsi. And she wouldn't give it to me. Just one pepsi."

Reki's ex. Probably a bit of a self hating Haibane/mutant, as he likes to go out disguised. Brash but not as dumb as he comes off.

Reki:

"I liked their old albums better."

Protagonist #2. She smokes. She paints. She's 'upposed ta stop but she cain't. Something of a walking Plot Tumor through no fault of her own. Has...problems.

Washi:

"Let me offer you a riddle, young feather: What's brown and sticky?"

The head of the Haibane Renmei. Implied to be a Haibane who failed their test. In the Institute AU, he's a neurologist specializing in memory disorders, and obviously doesn't dress like a LARPing monk with a laser cannon on his face.
