Trivia[]
- The Falcon Rune is the only non-True Rune in the series to have a backstory associated with it.
- It is unknown how Kika obtained her Falcon Rune, nor is it known if she ever studied under an ancestor of Roundier Haia, or even if her Falcon Rune is connected to the other Falcon Runes in the series. This is mostly due to Suikoden IV taking place 148 years before Suikoden V.
