Raksha

The Raksha is depicted as a large, strong adult she-wolf with almost white or light grey dense fur - feeling reminiscent of the North American or Eurasian wolf, rather than the typical Indian wolf, which is smaller and shorter-haired. She has expressive blue eyes, unusual for wolves and emphasising her specialness and good-heartedness.

Her appearance sets her apart from the rest of the pack, emphasising her role as a caring but also determined mother. Protector and mother: Raksha is Mowgli's devoted foster mother. She cares deeply for him and her cubs and fully accepts Mowgli as her own son.

Raksha bravely confronts Sherkhan and defends Mowgli, calling the tiger a burnt beast and emphasising that he knows no law and hunts for pleasure. A combination of maternal tenderness, deep caring and true courage. She is an eternal mother, a protector, with great emotional strength and responsibility, even willing to confront fear to save her children.

Raksha appears at the start of the film and is seen at her den with her new pups. Though narration, Bagheera, states he knew the family, and hoped that the pack would accept the newborn mancub he had discovered. Bagheera initially leaves the baby near the den, but the wolves do not notice as they have already entered the den. Bagheera intentionally startles the baby, making him cry. Raksha comes to investigate, and immediately accepts the baby. However, when her mate, Rama, comes in, it takes some unspoken persuasion from Raksha for him to accept the mancub as well. Enamored with the baby, Rama accepts the baby, and Raksha carries the basket containing the man-cub into the den.

Raksha raised Mowgli for ten years. She is seen in a cameo, where Bagheera is describing Mowgli's popularity with the pack. However, she makes no appearances afterwards.
