Kaede

As Chifusa’s lifelong best friend and devoted attendant, this loyal companion even abandoned the Manyū clan to remain by her side. Though technically an underling, she frequently takes charge of Chifusa’s finances and impulsive decisions. Her deep, unspoken romantic feelings for her friend often surface through bouts of jealousy around men and playful physical intimacy. These intense, affectionate behaviors frequently lead onlookers to mistake their close bond for a romantic relationship.
