Howard Smith

Duncan Howard "Caden" Smith (born July 4, 2006), is one of the main antagonists of Violet Fragrance.
==Appearance==
Sumire described him as incredibly average-looking; however, many other characters have commented that Caden was relatively handsome. Sumire later rectifies that she means that by his star qualities and admits that he's not bad looking, but horribly plain.
==Personality==
Caden is often described by Sumire as "off-putting" due to his unsettling demeanor from their first meeting. This is further emphasized later on during their first encounter at school, where he had smiled at her for a good 10 seconds without reasoning. Caden is manipulative, a "sweet-talker", and a Casanova because of his natural charms; a "source of envy" for Griffin as Sumire gleefully puts it. Caden is considerably lazy; he fails to show up for practice, has subpar vocals and is frequently late. Griffin described him as an idiot for targeting people he considered vulnerable.
Caden is bitter, and Sumire reasons for it due to being constantly overlooked in the group as a "middle child" despite his popularity. He contributes nothing to the group and had only done it once after Sumire created the composition he offered up as his own.
==Background==
==Chronology==
==Relationships==
=== Sumire Fujinaga ===
Prior to transferring to Mojo High, Caden and Sumire did not have many interactions aside from award shows. Caden transferred to Mojo High to permanently relocate for the group. Upon their first unofficial meeting, he saw right through Sumire's disguise and thought it was interesting and decided to chat her up. After doing so, he started to blackmail her into keeping her secret by asking for various things to benefit his group and for a good name.
=== Griffin Leung ===
The two did not talk until Sumire started interacting with Caden. Despite that, their relationship was frosty due to Sumire's attitude towards Caden (and some unspoken jealousy). Griffin originally thought the two were friends, but as the interactions between the two became more quiet, he started to assume that they were in a relationship.
