•Name: Nakahara Kaede •Age: 17 •Appearance: [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=898758]"Um...I-I'm fine..."[/url] •Personality: Kaede tends to be rather shy around people she doesn't know. However, once she feels comfortable around someone, she livens up considerably, becoming friendly, though still not the most talkative person on the planet. To call her a bit of an otaku would be a massive understatement, as she is prone to prioritising video games over...basically everything else at times and has gone days without food in the past in order to afford a new anime DVD or manga volume. As a result, she has a tendency to forget rather important things, such as eating. At times, she may refer to real things using video game terminology, seeing nothing strange about calling a particularly dangerous enemy "a boss battle" or referring to herself as "an overspecialised character that gets dropped from the party as soon as someone with better DPS arrives". Kaede also happens to be a pervert, to the extent that her male coworkers are likely to end up in at least one of her "stories". When given the chance to talk about either of these things, she becomes really excited. She tends to get along better with children than adults, due to many of her interests being intended for younger audiences. •Abilities: Kaede has an affinity for light. This allows her to cast spells involving bending light to create illusions, or focusing it into a destructive beam. It also allows her to use spells related to "clarity", letting her see through illusions and other mind affecting abilities. Although she needs to be aware of the presence of such an effect before she can do anything about it. •Weapons/Equipment: Nothing particularly helpful. She generally carries a large amount of manga and several gaming devices (and associated chargers/games/etc) around, giving her schoolbag enough weight to be used as a bludgeoning weapon if necessary. •Brief Backstory: Kaede's family aren't known for being particularly powerful mages, however, this isn't to say they're weak, just...average. Her parents have trained her in the use of light magic since she was six years old. After short stints working part time after school in a game store (where she spent more time playing games than actually serving customers) and a maid cafe (where one too many customers complained about her spilling coffee on them), Kaede came to the Fu Sonzai no Gensō detective agency, hoping this job would work out better than the others.
