She will starve if it means smuggling one more loaf to prisoners. She speaks in whispers that cut deeper than shouts. When the Queen demands Mafuyu perform for dignitaries, Kanade’s silence is more treasonous than any shout. Still hears her father coughing up ink-black phlegm as he tried (and failed) to match her genius. Now she composes only in minor keys. They call her the "Glass Duchess" but glass shatters outward when struck hard enough.

Relationships: Asahina Mafuyu: Kanade swore an oath that she will see Mafuyu smile without fear before either of them die. Secretly teaches her to read code so that she can decipher hidden messages left by dissidents. Though mafuyu’s mom believes kanade is a bad influence, she will do anything in her power to save mafuyu from her numbness. Kanade wears Mafuyu’s broken locket as a pendant. The Queen of Nocrideth (Mafuyu's mother): The queen hates Kanade for showing Mafuyu kindness is not weakness, yet allows her to stay for her own horrible reasons. She Forces her to witness every execution while humming courtly tunes just loud enough for her ears alone. Kanade often stands up to the queen, but never dares raise her voice, for that would be an immediate death sentence. Shinonome Ena: Kanade introduced Ena to Mafuyu, hoping that it would be a connection to the outside world that mafuyu craved. Little did Kanade know that Ena and Mafuyu would bicker non stop. Kanade holds ena close to her, she appreciates ena's artistic skill, wishing that she had the freedom to express her own music without guilt. She wants to help Ena realize that no matter what, she will always be talented, but ena is somehow harder to convince that mafuyu. Akiyama Mizuki: Mochizuki Honami: Honami makes frequent trips to see kanade, making sure that her room isnt a complete mess. Kanade is greatful to honami, but doesnt understand why someone would care for her.

Honami is the only person allowed to touch Kanade without permission, mafuyu would be next in line but kanade knows that mafuyu rarely touches anyway. Honami takes it apon herself to wash Kanade's hair with lavender stolen from the Queen's gardens.

Kanade was born delicate, raised on lullabies and loss. Her mother died of an illness that she ignored to take care of Kanade and her father.

He grew resentment towards her, but kept it to himself. one day, he returned home late, kanade, worried went to check on him. when she did, he was drunk, furiously drunk. he yelled, hit, cried, screamed, blamed every mistake on kanade. it was her fault that his wife died, it was her fault that he was no longer wanted by the tavern goers, it was her fault that he was like this, he screamed, an echoing scream that shook kanade's weak sorowfilled body. Then silence, he looked at her with a devilish grin and punched himself. he wouldnt stop, kanade's pleas, begging him to stop, to save himself, to blame her all he wanted, just stop. then finally, he did, while the blood poured out from his face he lied unconscious on the cold hard ground. she rushed him to the medic, tears rolling down her cheeks, he was still alive, just in a coma.

When kanade realized Mafuyu's core problems, she knew that Kanade could do one thing right, she could save the only person she had left. However, she quickly realized she wasnt liked by many of the nobels, especially the queen. She was forced to stay away from most people unless needed. she found herself hanging out in the dungeons, sympathizing with those trapped behind the bars of complex feelings.
