Description
Kaede Saitō is a 16-year-old high school student born on January 16 with blood type AB, standing 164 cm tall and weighing 53 kg. She possesses a notably attractive figure, including a G-cup bra size. Her long, straight black hair reaches her waist, and she has blue eyes, consistently wearing glasses. Kaede favors relaxed, simple, and non-feminine everyday clothing, often choosing comfortable attire like sports bras and boxer shorts or spats at home, leading friends to comment she hides her figure.
Her background centers on a deep passion for hiking, mountaineering, and outdoor activities. She works a part-time job specifically to fund her hiking gear and trips, viewing such equipment as a worthwhile investment. Academically attending the same school as Aoi Yukimura and Hinata Kuraue but one year their senior, she is potentially capable of top grades yet exhibits laziness toward schoolwork. She studies only under pressure and frequently relies on her middle school friend, Kokona Aoba, for homework assistance. Her academic struggles stem from her singular focus on mountains, leaving little mental space for other subjects.
Initially preferring solo hiking for its tranquility and independence, Kaede's connection to the main group begins when she meets Aoi at a mountain gear store. She assists Aoi in selecting a sleeping bag, leading to an exchange of contact information; this marks the start of their friendship and makes Kaede Aoi’s first new friend outside of Hinata. Despite her inclination toward solitary adventures, she gradually integrates into group activities, becoming their dependable "mountain teacher" due to extensive experience and practical knowledge. She advises on equipment, techniques, and trail safety, explaining details like the benefits of hip belts for load distribution.
Her development shows a shift from a lone enthusiast to someone finding joy in shared experiences, actively participating in group hikes like winter trips to Mount Akagi using snowshoes. She maintains a close friendship with her classmate Yuuka Sasahara, who often nags her about adopting a more feminine wardrobe. This dynamic leads to an underwear shopping episode where Kaede discovers her correct bra size, highlighting her indifference toward fashion despite Yuuka’s efforts.
Kaede embodies several contradictions: she excels in sports and hiking but cannot swim and avoids water activities. Similarly, adept at outdoor cooking using mess kits, she harbors nervousness around kitchen knives, struggling with basic tasks like slicing carrots. Her home life reflects an unpretentious nature, remaining unmotivated about chores unless urgency demands it. She declines invitations to join the school’s Mountaineering Club, preferring to hike at her own pace rather than adhere to formal club structures.
Her relationships feature mentorship and mutual growth. She serves as a cool older sister figure to Aoi, who admires her confidence and outdoor expertise. She supports Hinata with hiking guidance and navigates a balanced dynamic with Yuuka, whose academic strictness contrasts with her laid-back approach to studies. Her friendship with Kokona involves reciprocal help, including tutoring sessions.
