[edit]
Kaede is a fairly young apothecary owner and healer, showing great prowess in her skilled use of magic and having been granted a White Mage soulstone as a result, though at great cost to her own health at times. An ex-courtesan and companion, she was born in Gridania proper to a baker and a blacksmith, the latter hailing from Doma, moved to Ul'dah's Pearl Lane to live with her aunt at the age of 12 after her parents passed away in the Calamity that shook Eorzea. Her aunt died a year after and by this time Kaede was very well-versed in thieving, being quick on her feet and having a quick wit to get around. Shortly after her aunts passing, Kaede was cornered by a gang of men after stealing their coinpurses and was saved by a man named Victor, who offered her a job. Unbeknownst to her, this was to be the start of her companionship days, working in the Brume and would remain that way till she was 20. Begrudgingly Victor decided to educate her after discovering she had a natural affinity for flora, allowing her to learn how to read and partake in alchemy. It was here that it was discovered she was incredibly intelligent and quick to learn, and Victor felt it best to stifle a large portion of education bar what was necessary for her to become a master of poisons and assassinate others for him, as well as learning their secrets. She finally left his employment, so to speak, after finding out that he had started to deal in selling children and murdering his most generous customer, leading Victor to order an attempt on her life and dump her body in the Sagolii Desert, where she awoke with no memories of who she was or any of her past. Important details:
A mixture of Gridanian and Doman has led way for some unusual yet stunning features on this young lady. Often fetishised for her looks in the past, she is described as being exceptionally beautiful, her features delicate and only marred by her usual uncaring attitude or scowl - yet even this remains attractive. She often relies on her features to get what she wants - as despite barely knowing what she looks like having glanced in a reflective surface a handful of times since the attempt on her life, she is aware that both men and women can't help but be drawn in by her looks.
She is exactly 5 fulms in height, and incredibly slim. Despite her smallness, she has been lucky enough to have an hourglass figure. She has full lips with no discernable cupids bow, a small nose and large, viridian coloured almond shaped eyes, framed with thick lashes, and she often goes without makeup. A beauty mark is located just underneath her left eye. It is probable she takes more after her mother than her father in colouring, but her other features give her Doman side away, including her dark hair.
Aspects That Stand Out:
Kaede is seemingly rude, stuck up, and at first glance, uninterested in everyone around her unless it suits her. However this is just a protective shell, and once you get to know her, one can find that she's very sweet and loyal to a fault. She is a young woman who will go out of her way to ensure others are not hurt and would do anything for her friends, even if it means sacrificing herself in their place, something she will do without ever breathing a word to anyone. Though she can often come across as snarky to people she doesn't know, she soon warms up and she'll even defend those she dislikes if she believes they're being done wrong by. At her core, all Kaede wants is to be happy and settle down. She has a big heart and carries affection for a lot of people even if she'll never say so, and will vehemently deny it if asked unless one gets to speak to her one on one. It seems the only exceptions to this rule are the two companions who finish her trio.
As a result of her years as a companion, one of Kae's worst habits is flirting. She will go out of her way to flirt with anyone if she believes she can get something out of them, whether it's drinks or information. She enjoys making people smile, even if her methods of doing so are questionable, and sees nothing wrong with complimenting anyones looks as long as it makes them happy. She is not above fluttering her eyelashes with anyone to get her own way, and is more than aware of her sexuality and how to use it. This can lead to her being conflicted overall when all she wants to do is shut the world out and hide behind her protective layer. She is also prone to bouts of depression and great sadness, and will reflect this onto others often.
