More info;

Since she was a child, Kaede has been playing the piano so much that she would forget to eat and sleep at times. As a result, people began to give her the nickname "piano freak". Before long, she began winning contest after contest, garnering praise from many people and earning her the title of Ultimate Pianist. She has performed in front of important figures such as a European King, a representative of Juilliard, and famous pianists. Her strongest motive to play the piano was to make her audience smile, and she always remembered her motive during her performances so that she could control her nervousness.

Kaede is an optimistic hard worker. As a leader type with a firm character, she has a strong will and doesn't hesitate to take action; her notable character trait is her strong sense of belief in herself and others. Her main motivation for playing the piano is to see others smiling. Kaede has a kind personality that makes her think about others before herself. She is willing to lie for good reasons but appears uncomfortable while doing so and is quite bad at lying.

However, being a pianoholic from a young age, she has a peculiar trait of including music talk in her conversations. She even strongly avoids certain activities such as cooking and certain sports because she fears her fingers might get hurt, affecting her ability to play. Kaede can also be a bit oblivious and silly at times.

While a kind and friendly person, Kaede is shown to have a quite firm, sometimes even rather easily angered personality as well, as she tends to lash at others when they annoy her enough. Kaede's tendency to push forward with her own personal justice is her biggest flaw. She refuses to give up when it would be the sensible thing to do and when pushing forward would only make things worse. She also never doubts what she thinks is right and accepts it blindly.

Her birthday is March 26th. She likes piano keys and dislikes bicycles.
