King Rawhide is the ruler of the city of Schubertland. In the world of the story, which is populated by humans with various animal characteristics, his position as a king places him in a significant position of authority. The character is notably defined by a dual nature, possessing two distinct personalities. One side of King Rawhide is described as righteous, while the other is referred to as evil. This dichotomy is a core aspect of his identity.

As the sovereign of Schubertland, King Rawhide serves a crucial function in the early part of the narrative. The protagonist, Belle Lablac, who was born without any animal features, leaves her hometown and journeys to his city specifically to be granted the status of "Nomad" by him. This status is a significant goal for Belle, making King Rawhide a central figure in her quest for identity and belonging. Later in the story, Belle and her companions return to King Rawhide to present a petition, indicating his ongoing involvement as a political figure they need to engage with. His rule is challenged during a period when Belle is imprisoned and a character named Gaff takes royal power.

The search results do not provide details on his personal background before becoming king, his specific motivations as a ruler, the origin or mechanics of his split personalities, his notable abilities in combat or leadership, or any detailed relationships beyond his political role relative to Belle and other characters like Gaff and Adonis. No information is available concerning his character development or any transformative arc he may undergo throughout the series.
