She's actually on the tall side. The 'very tall' side, probably being in the top ten students of the academy for height. It runs in the family, since her father's a massive guy.[/hider]
[*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Kaede is a pretty laid back girl, hard to get riled up or shake out of her general comfort zone of nonchalant acceptance. Her friendly demeanour makes her rather approachable to younger students and she's happy to help them out with preparation for the Academy Tournaments... or anything else. Unless she's left completely incapable of helping, she has an extremely hard time resisting the desire to help other people. 
If something is threatening another person in her view--or worse, actually hurts them--then the relaxed joviality falls away entirely. Her serious demeanour is quite scary, particularly as she's a very practical person: if you're already being dangerous, there's no point talking you down... flooring you is quicker and safer.
[*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Kaede is an all-around good student, though her homework submission leaves something to be desired and she's somewhat lazy about ruminating on the arts and tends to do better in science--and, for many reasons, she's absolutely prohibited from taking part in PE. From a combat perspective, she's got basic training in more than a few martial arts but, when the situation calls for it, is most skilled at simply brawling and ignoring pain. Additionally, the redhead is great at dealing with children, whether alone or in groups.
For obvious reasons, she's also pretty good with her feet when the situation calls for it.
[*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] A Ritual Device dedicated to Heracles, made as a belt so that there's no reason she should ever not have the damn thing (especially because she doesn't wear skirts). The fact that without the belt, Kaede can't put on the belt is a Catch-22 situation she can't miss.
So far as pacts go, it's a pretty easy one for her to satisfy base requirements: some measure of athleticism, helping children, or general heroism is enough to get it going, though this makes it something she can't easily use for her own sake--such as purely academic reasons--which is quite annoying. Circumstances that actually call for feats of strength and indomitable confidence--or uncontrolled anger, which makes Kaede glad she's level-headed--are necessary for more than the mere base abilities, however. 
The actual limits of her pact are dictated by more grandiose feats of worship: on top of all other factors, without replicating in some great quantity the Twelve Labours, it's limited to the current potential despite the god in question. Actually replicating one (the Nemean Lion) in a way was necessary to get the pact in the first place.
[*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] Kaede's Ritual Device... gives her arms. They're obviously not organic arms, being a translucent mix of marble and Ritual Technology, but they're solid and she can control them like they were her own. They're also [i]strong[/i], even at a minimum--enough that it's a bad idea for her to take part in PE due to having a much larger potential for injuring people than a normal teenage girl.
When properly activate, the substantial strength boost is enough to dent rock with a punch and Kaede moves noticeably faster, though this is more of an equaliser against dexterous opponents than a game-changing boost. The final ability it gives her is good aim, whether throwing something or randomly handed a bow. 
[*][u][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/u] Kaede is the eldest daughter of a rather large family, with her father a prominent researcher in Light Engines specifically--not the uses they're put to, but the engines themselves. This leads him to spend a lot of time travelling and, after his daughter received her Divine Gear just after starting middle school, he sometimes brought Kaede along if she was free--both as an educational experience for her, and because the Gear's construction was often useful as a physical reference.
One experiment she was brought to, the winter before graduating from that school, was conducted in Greece and revolved around using a Light Engine to power a stable portal. Though the portals worked, it turned out to have a crippling flaw: an open gateway circumventing the Gate of Samhain. Only one entity got through before the power was cut, but the beast was larger than an elephant and disturbingly violent. Given the lack of armament professed by anybody else in the area, Kaede put herself in harm's way to take the thing on.
From her current appearance but survival, it's quite clear how that fight went. Fortunately for her continued manual ability, the lab had a shrine to strengthen its Ritual Technology and Heracles was somewhat impressed with her success, consenting to a Ritual Device for the girl. Given that her previous Divine Gear was a pair of fists, it meant that her ability to take part in Academy Tournaments when older wasn't obstructed. To her irritation, her previous mock battles tended to restrict her ability to take part.[/list]
