Kaede Yamauchi

Kaede Yamauchi is a young girl and baking enthusiast. She films baking segments while in PriPara with her assistants, the Neopolitan Triplets (three bunnies, Cocousa, Vaniusa, and Berryusa)''. ''She is a character made by Chrismh.

Appearance
Kaede is a ten year old girl with large dark brown eyes. She has long, slightly curled pale brown hair normally worn up in fluffy heart-shaped odango. She has a noticeable heart-shaped cowlick and has bangs and streaks of hair that is pale pink in color.

Outside of school her normal attire usually consists of a dress with a cute apron, white tights, and maryjane shoes, giving her the appearance of a young maid.

In PriPara, Kaede ages up by a few years. Her eyes turn the color of pink lemonade while her hair turns white and is worn in twin-tails, each with a smaller heart odango and a thin braid wrapped around it, held with konpeito candies as clips. Her pink streaks remain, but are spread throughout her hair and making up the braid and odango hearts.

Personality
Kaede is a Kawaiiko-type. She is sugary-sweet and cute, but also very friendly and open with others. Next to baking, cheering up others is her most favorite pastime. She is seen by others as completely innocent and lovely, but she tends to be troublesome at times because she can be nosy in her attempts to help someone.

Despite her outward personality, Kaede hints at a smarter and mature side. She drinks coffee frequently and tries to act lady-like and with poise; but underneath it all she's still a child. She really hates coffee and other mature flavors, and has no problem spitting it out if nobody is paying her any attention. She attempts to hold a graceful and perfect self, but this usually ends with her in tears or appearing vulnerable, which is what people actually seem to like.

Some times Kaede can appear spoiled or a bit too "cute focused", in that if she thinks something isn't cute enough, or at all, she tends to display a hostile or colder personality. All with her smile remaining, as if nothing was wrong.

Background
Growing up, Kaede was very lonely and barely took part in activity with others. When she tried to befriend someone, she came off too abrasive with them, or they showed no interest in her attempts to be friendly. As a result, she had become distant and very cold towards anyone who wasn't family. Eventually her mother had to be bedridden, having been ill some time prior. In this time Kaede attempted to help her feel better, but struggled to deal with her further feelings of loneliness.

Her mother, having been a baker, taught small things to Kaede before this time, and so Kaede attempted to learn various little things to make, expanding her knowledge and realizing she enjoyed it. Now she dreams of one day becoming the most well-known super-adorable Patissier Idol.

Coords
Kaede, being a Lovely-type enjoys brands of the same type. She is also heavily influenced by coords reminiscent of maid, waitress, or bakers attire, or those themed around food.

She also enjoys a brand made for the popular Sweets-Hime, Sweet Sweets.
