Kaede

Kaede is a young woman of average height, with blond hair fashioned in a short, spiky hairdo. She used to have a sizeable bust before, but after being subjected to breast shrinkage for her treason, she's left with a flat chest, an A-cup, the source of her angst. Off-screen, she manages to get her D-cup breasts back, thanks to the breast expansion.

Kaede usually wears a light purple kimono with darker rims without leg covering outside of some sarashi at ankle level. She also wears fingerless green kote on her arms, a reminder of her older position. She also carries a red backpack, sometimes.

Kaede is a lot less serious than Chifusa Manyuu where Kaede is intended as the comic relief in the story as she is always trying to fondle, suckle and worship Chifusa's breasts, or to find different ways and schemes to do so. She also gets very mad when people make remarks about her breast size, especially Chifusa; this usually leads to them fighting. Nevertheless, Chifusa and Kaede still remain best friends, even when it comes to remarks about Kaede's flat chest.

Kaede has only been shown engaging in combat. Nevertheless, as a former samurai, she no doubt has some experience in combat to have attained her position.

As a former Manyuu assassin and samurai, Kaede has undoubtedly been trained in the way of the sword. She had a brief skirmish against Chifusa when the latter had been trying to escape.

As a former Manyuu assassin and samurai, Kaede was most certainly trained to be in top physical condition, to meet the physical demand of the role.

Kaede has been shown to have formidable physical stamina. She was once able to go four days straight without any food, while having walked on foot for the first three days and working intensely on the last.

Kaede has been shown and stated to be an excellent swimmer. She was commended by Oiso, who was considered the best swimmer in Matsue Village.
