| | Blue Seed Character Kaede |
 | | Kaede takes her responsibilities as the Kushinada very seriously, but as she grows, she begins to question just what her responsibility as the Kushinada is. Her search leads her on a journey far away from her family and the TAC, and she disappears in a bright pillar of light at the beginning of the series. |
 | | Kaede is the antithesis of Momiji: refined, mature, intelligent and graceful; and yet at times, Momiji shows wisdom beyond Kaede's understanding. |
 | | Despite her absence, Kaede's presence continually haunts Momiji's life, for Kusanagi cared deeply for the Princess Kushinada and upon her return, his preoccupation with Kaede leads him away from Momiji on a search for the Kaede who disappeared and an unacceptance of the Kaede that took her place. |
