The Toga are a mystery. I prefer to think of them as special angels as unlike the temple haibane because (a) they're not wearing the false wings & masks and (b) they're the only people allowed outside of the city. Its why I think of them as the angels tasked with bringing things from the outside world into Glie. I have a personal headcanon that for all the things and items we miss in our world, they find their way into Glie thanks to the Toga.
>why does Rakka not get her own angel to help her
It has to do with Rakka's own lack of personal motivation. One thing that Rakka has in common with Mayuko is that she doesn't know what she wants nor does she know what she's good for. A part of Rakka's journey is themed around finding an identity for herself. Noting how many of the Haibane quickly adapt or pick jobs that feel intuitive to them, perhaps Rakka's past life had a lack of a specific occupation. (contrast this to Reki's possible past as an artist, Kana as an athlete/mechanic, and so on)
If Rakka had committed to one of the jobs, the ascribed human would have been the angel 'picked' for her. I feel the librarian Sumika could have been her human/angel if she had stayed at the job - and maybe she might pick it up if the Speaker decides that Rakka has fulfilled her job of collecting halo material. Alternatively, and if you follow my own belief that the Speaker is not a fallen haibane but actually an archangel, one responsible for all the humans/angels within Glie, then Rakka is VERY special - by having the biggest angel in all of Glie as her personal guide and mentor.
