Fuyou, Kaede

芙蓉楓

Kaede Fuyou is Rin's beautiful childhood friend. She grew up with him in the same house after her mother and Rin's parents died in a car accident. Some time after they started junior high school, Kaede began taking care of Rin, handling everything from housework to preparing his meals.
She is very down to earth, modest, polite, and soft-spoken. However, at times she shows signs of psychosis and even violence when a great shock upsets her. In the original game, this is only visible in the backstory after her mother dies, where she abuses Rin because she blames him for her mom's death, while he takes her punishment so she won't fall into despair and depression.
In order to atone for her past actions in which she mistreated Rin, Kaede decides to make amends to Rin by cooking his meals and doing all the work around the house. Rin does not really want this, but he is afraid of causing Kaede to have a relapse by not allowing her to punish herself in this way.
Kaede is shown to have romantic feelings for Rin, but considers herself unworthy to be loved by Rin or to stay by his side. However, though it is not romance, Rin cares deeply about her.
