Kaede Ikeno (
Appearance[]
Kaede's Character Art Design
Kaede is a light-skinned girl with chin-length brunette hair that is worn in a bob with her bangs evenly spread out partially worn with a white clip while her forelocks cover her ears, golden-brown eyes and she is flat-chested in comparison to the others.
Personality[]
Kaede is usually calm and reserved, but is also usually naughty and likes to play with her friends. She has a dry and sarcastic sense of humour, but seems quite perceptive, correctly deducing that Haruka Takayama and Yū Sonoda's relationship is more than just normal friendship. She can also pick up suggestions of romantic feelings from other people. She has great reverence for Mitsuki Sonoda and Rina Sakai, her senpai and student council leaders. Despite how she acts, she is extremely emotional and embarrassed by this side of herself, often trying to hide it. She was visibly upset when Mitsuka and Rina graduated.
Background[]
Kaede went to the same middle school with Yuzu Īzuka and Kotone Noda, but Kaede is particularly close to Yuzu.
Relationships[]
Yuzu Īzuka[]
Kaede deeply cares about her and it is implied she harbors feelings for her but because of how dense Yuzu is she says nothing. Eventually she does confess and Yuzu appears to reciprocate. It was Yuzu who inspired her to become Class Rep after seeing her get hurt while doing the work herself.
Mitsuki Sonoda[]
Kaede likes to tease Mitsuki and play pranks on her. But she respects her as the school president as well.
Haruka Takayama[]
Kaede likes teasing Haruka, but she also supports her relationship with Yū Sonoda.
