She is a wary and careful individual who picks her words with caution. Kade’s body language suggests that she is always on edge. Her tensed posture tells others of her stressed history. Kade’s memories are clouded and distorted, which has made it difficult for her to live off of past experiences. Because of this, Kade lives in the moment, and has adapted to become quick on her feet. Despite the lack of any structured memory, Kade subconsciously responds to certain stimuli, both positively and negatively; suggesting that her memories haven’t been totally lost, and that her old self is constantly scraping at her subconscious. Kade is covered in scars, many of which have long since healed and have become nearly invisible. Others appear to be more recent. The scars vary in shape and size; some resembling gunshot wounds, while others resemble injuries incurred from beasts of Jenova. She has a collection of tattoos that run up her arms, around her shoulders, and down her back. The tattoos on her back line a series of long straight scars that run from her neck to her waist. Records from the Oakridge Academy say that Kade’s eyes were once amber, but they are now a piercing gray. Kade wears functional clothing, often in reds, whites, or blacks. Her hair is raven black, despite academy records declaring her hair as brown with white dyed streaks. She wears clothes that cover her scars, so to not bring up a subject she knows very little of. An amber pendant rests around her neck on a worn black piece of sting. The pendant is hand carved with the writing ‘Samuel’ engraved into the back of it. When she is nervous, or when her hands are idle, she will often fidget with the pendant and become rather somber. Those who remember who Kade Sicario used to know her as a kind and gentle Guardian, as well as a young songstress taking Cetra by storm. She was once compassionate and calm, even in the direst of situations. It is unclear what has changed Kade so much, both physically and mentally. Every once in a while, her old self will come out, but those moments are fleeting, and far apart from one another. Academy officials, as well as her old friends, can only hope that Kade’s memory returns in full. Until then, she is to be closely watched and observed for abnormal behavior.

Once you’ve fallen to that depth, everything else loses its value. It’s either you, or them.”[/i][/b] Kade has experienced much, but her memories of such experiences are hazy and hard to reach out to beyond five years from now. Within those five years, Kade has known little besides fighting and surviving. She is always alert, her eyes constantly flicking about and evaluating her surroundings. She is ready to fight at a moment’s notice, and is often first into the fray when the battle begins. Even before she went missing, Kade was known to have issues sleeping. While she is able to sleep easier now, she will sometimes wake up sweaty and in a panic. When danger is nowhere to be found, Kade’s old self seems to come out more. She is calm, able to smile (even if it is faint), and willing to socialize. When she is alone, or when she believes she is alone, Kade will even hum and sing quietly to herself. However, she is a lot more nervous about singing around people than she used to be. It is clear that Kade is recovering from whatever trauma she had sustained, and that it is only a matter of time before her memory returns to her in full. When she is safe, Kade seems to be in harmony with herself, something that the psychologists of Oakridge know is a shame. Once her memories return, Kade will likely not achieve such harmony again. [/color][/indent] [color=bababa][sub]S T R I F E[/sub][/color][indent][color=dadada]Kade was always an accomplished martial artist. Before her disappearance, she was a highly respected combatant. That talent in martial arts seems to not have left her. However, her fighting has become more brutal and direct. Beforehand, Kade viewed her martial arts simply as a means of combat. Now, she views her martial prowess as a means of survival, and it shows in her fighting style. Her attacks are often supplemented by air elemental magic. Kade uses this magic to create focused fields around her fists and feet to deliver powerful gusts of focused wind in order to increase the impact. Kade can also use her air magic to manipulate the physical area around her, not just as a supplement to her martial arts. She can lift and moves objects, or send out a bolt of focused wind over a longer distance if she so chooses. Kade wears leather climbing gloves with steel knuckles to fight with. There is nothing special about these gloves, and they can be easily replaced if lost.

Some students might have been junior classmen, and remember her as the role model upper classman; if this is the case, then they’ll be concerned for who she has become since her disappearance. Her friends have all either died, or have moved on with their lives. Some of her old friends have been made aware of her resurgence, but none of them have managed to muster up the courage and face her again. Even if they did, Kana would have no memory of them. Kade is also represented in the card game, 'The Spirits Within', as a first edition card. This rendition of her resembled that of her old self, the famous songstress and powerful guardian. Being a first edition card, avid collectors of the card game, and fans of Kade's music, seek out this rare card. [color=white][b]Jomen Sury[/b][/color] - Kade has only just met Jomen Sury.

[/color][/indent] [color=bababa][sub]C O N T A C T S[/sub][/color][indent][color=dadada][b]Lieutenant Renalt Qatar[/b] Renalt was the man who led the special forces team that found Kade. He was the only one in the squad to recognize her, and willingly abandoned the mission to rescue the former guardian. Renalt was a captain at the time, and was demoted to the rank of lieutenant as a result of his insubordination. Kade hasn’t had the chance to speak with Renalt since he brought her back to Oakridge, but she trusts him nonetheless. [b]Dr. Lucius Brant[/b] A longtime acquaintance to Kade, Lucius was originally her therapist during her time at the academy. He is the only one left at the academy who knows Kade personally, and has been instrumental in helping her collect fragments of her past. In the five years before their reunion, Kade did not know her first name, she was simply referred to as ‘Sicario’. Lucius has struggled in his attempts to properly reconnect with Kade, but he is determined to keep working at her in order to bring her old self back.

A small twin rotor camera drone floated right up to the guardian's face, which she quickly batted away harmlessly. The reporter quickly learned to keep the drone out of Kade's personal space. [color=white][i]"Miss Sicario! Miss Sicario! Does you being here declare your support for the military's incitement of the JENOVA crisis?! You were there at Isla de los Muertos, how can you possibly support the UDF after such a massacre?"[/i][/color] Kade glanced over to the reporter for a brief moment, but decided not to answer. Kade had heard of the reports, of her efforts during that battle, but her memory on the event was cloudy at best. She remembered that it had turned into a three way bloodbath when the aggressors arrived. And she remembered people important to her dying, but they were only faceless silhouettes in her mind. Kade couldn't even remember their names. The reports had many names covered in black ink.[/color][/hider] [/color][/indent] [color=bababa][sub]P R O P E R T Y[/sub][/color][indent][color=dadada]2x Potions 1x Phoenix Down [/color][/indent]
