Rakita SOTOKA

Rakita Sotoka is a foreign exchange student from Germany who attends the same middle school as Hitori Bocchi. She is a tall, blonde-haired girl with long, Rapunzel-like hair. She is also very shy and introverted, and she tends to keep to herself. However, she is also very kind and caring, and she is always willing to help others. One day, Hitori Bocchi is walking home from school when she sees Rakita Sotoka sitting on a bench by herself. Hitori is too shy to talk to her, but she decides to sit down next to her anyway. The two girls start talking, and they quickly become friends. Hitori and Rakita start spending more and more time together. They go to school together, they eat lunch together, and they even study together. Rakita helps Hitori to come out of her shell, and she teaches her how to make friends. Hitori is grateful for Rakita's friendship, and she is glad that she has someone to talk to. One day, Rakita tells Hitori that she is going to have to move back to Germany. Hitori is sad to hear this, but she knows that Rakita has to go back home.
