Chifusa's attendant and her best friend since childhood. She is eternally loyal to Chifusa to the point that she also deserted the Manyū clan to go along with her friend. Despite the fact that she is Chifusa's underling, she still tends to give her friend orders, especially when it comes to managing money or picking fights. It is implied several times in both the manga and the anime that Kaede is secretly in love with Chifusa, demonstrated by her envious behavior when Chifusa is around men or her constant attempts at playing with Chifusa's large bosom. It is because of these behaviors that most people who come across Chifusa and Kaede assume that they are lesbians. (Source: Wikipedia)
