Biography[]
Kanade is a demi-human from the Cat Tribe (one of the strongest tribes in the world that thought to be extinct). She is the first companion of Rein Shroud. She is the most powerful of all Cat Tribe.
She is the master of physical combat. She made a pact with Rein for him to gain her power shown he is physically powerful. She and Rein fought and defeat the demi-human from the Dragon Tribe named Tania. She, Tania and Rein has easily defeated the Hero's Party (who were Rein's teammates that banished him) due to her hatred towards the "Hero" Arios.
Kanade, Rein and Tania helped a fairy named Sora to rescue her twin sister, Luna who was kidnapped by a Shadow Knight (a C-rank monster that is a member of the Demon Lord's army). Kanade helps the vice-captain of the Knight to overthrow Edgar Fromware (the arrogant mayor and Rein's self-proclaimed love rival who attempted to steal both Kanade's fellow companions Sora and Luna), Edgar's father and the traitorous knights (including Captain Jill Stregger) resulting of Edgar's presumably death when he was beaten by his former slaves. Kanade helped Rein to defeat Arios again.
After Arios escaped and joined the Demon Lord, Kanade, Rein and the others are set out to kill both Arios and the Demon Lord.
Appearance[]
Kanade is a beautiful girl with long light orange hair and green eyes. As a Demi-Human from the Cat Tribe, she has cat ears and a tail with white color on the end. She ties a pair of red ribbons on both sides below her ears. This more feminine appearance and generally cheerful personality, compared to others like the thrill-seeking Tania, obscures the fact that she is her group's physical powerhouse and a solid martial artist.
Personality[]
Kanade is shown to be a friendly and kind person who always puts her friends as a priority. Hailing from the cat race, she is very energetic and is very passionate about her feelings. This makes her very empathetic, as shown when she hears about Rein's past. Determined as passive adrenaline, she is willing to not care about her own life to protect her friends and beloved ones. She treats everyone as equal, no matter what their position is.
She loves to get a head pat from Rein. She is also shown to be jealous when other Rein's contractual get head pats or try to get close to him. She is a big eater who eats heaping food portions to keep their strength up. In fact, when Rein and Kanade meet, she's in danger in the first place because she's weak from hunger. Once she's fed, she's unstoppable.
When going bathing to the lake, Kanade is also an optimistic and dimwitted pervert when she takes off her clothes in front of Rein and her fellow companions without even thinking.
Kanade has a phobia of haunted house especially ghosts. The more she is afraid of ghosts, it triggered her berserker mode similar to an angry pussycat when she attacks even ghosts and breaking her limit break.
Kanade developed an absolute hatred towards the former "Hero" Arios and viewed him to be a worthless weakling for banishing Rein. Like Tania, Kanade always insults Arios. She wants to make him regret of his insolence. Later after Rein easily defeated Arios the second time, She doesn't hold any concerns for Arios who was imprisoned by humanity of his betrayal but when hearing Arios escaped from prison, Kanade wants nothing more but to kill Arios no matter what. She also hates Edgar Fromware (the arrogant mayor who is a pervert who enslaved Demi-human little girls) for stalking her fellow companions Sora and Luna.
