KAEDE Smith (楓・墨州, KAEDE Sumisu) is a playable character in the game killer7, being one of the personas of the Smith Syndicate.

Appearance and Personality

KAEDE appears as a young woman in nothing but a white dress with large bloodstains on the front. Even when she is wearing black, these stains remain. KAEDE is barefoot at all times, no matter the terrain she treads across, earning her the nickname "Barefoot". KAEDE is the most cautious member of the syndicate, evidence by her attempt to flee from Emir Parkreiner in panic rather than attempt to fight back. This is also evident by her use of a ranged weapon. She is also notably the only woman apart of the syndicate.

Abilities

KAEDE uses a customized AMT Hardballer equipped with a pistol scope as well as 10-round magazine. This allows her to snipe Heaven Smile from afar, before they can get close. She has a notably lengthy reload time, taking even longer if she used the scope, as she is shown to fumble the magazine.
KAEDE's most notable ability is her Blood Shower ability, which allows her to cut her own wrists to shower blood across barriers or passageways in order to destroy them. She also holds the ability to absorb blood into her wrists, such as when she removes unnecessary letters from a secret message written on a wall in blood. Her Blood Shower ability is always accompanied by Mizaru, whom seems to do it for her.

History

KAEDE Smith was born in Portland, Oregon and grew up with an unnamed brother. During her first life, her brother joined the Liberal Party, eventually killing her by orders given by Kenjiro Matsuoka. She was later resurrected by Harman Smith and assimilated into the Smith Syndicate, serving the group with her long ranged combat abilities.
She is eventually killed when Emir murders the Smith Syndicate at the Union hotel. When confronted by the boy, she attempts to flee from him in a fit of panic. She tries to escape Emir by hiding in the wardrobe of her closet, only to have Emir hone in on her and shoot at her several times in the chest and stomach. She is then assimilated along with the rest of the seven into Emir, becoming a new incarnation of the Killer7. In her new incarnation, she gains the ability to destroy barriers, similar to how Emir was able to sense her behind one before he killed her.
