She is a small, slender and petite girl with blonde hair in a short bob and wears spectacles. Belonging to the race of mystic fox, she has a fox tail and two triangular ears standard for her race.
Personality[]
Kaede is a caring and thoughtful individual, especially towards Halbert. Unlike Halbert, she is capable of seeing through a situation before taking action, often foreseeing the outcome ahead of time. As a commanding officer, she is hard on those under her command to help assure that they are prepared.
Biography[]
Kaede is of the mystic fox race. Though she and her immediate family are citizens of Elfrieden, at some point her family moved there from the Nine Headed Dragon Archipelago. This historical connection can be seen in her preferred casual dress and, more specifically, her wedding dress. She is childhood friends with Halbert Magna, and is the rational one to Halbert's impulsive side.
Kaede's first direct encounter with Kazuya was when he was touring Parnam in disguise and stopped at the Lorelei Cafe. There, Kaede was arguing with Halbert, who was insisting on going to join Duke Carmine's forces during the civil war. Kaede was attempting to talk him out of this. Thanks to Kazuya's intervention, Halbert eventually ended up under Kaede's command. Together, they were among the troops fielded by Kazuya during the One Week War.
Afterwards, Kaede assisted in various operations such as dratrooper training and undercover escort missions with Kazuya. She was present during the events in the Star Dragon Mountain Range, where she foresaw Halbert's actions, though noble, result in him having to take Ruby as a wife to uphold Ruby's chastity. As she admonished him, Kaede revealed that they had recently gotten engaged, meaning she would be Halbert's head wife with Ruby as a secondary wife.
Both Kaede and Ruby married Halbert on the day of Kazuya's own coronation and wedding in the joint marriages across Parnam. The three apparently honeymooned in Venetinova, and which not too long afterwards Kaede found herself pregnant.
Kaede is currently on maternity leave from her post in the military.
