Spade (Freedom Planet)

Spade is a thief and high-ranking member of the Red Scarves, a gang of thieves. He is an anti-hero from the 2-D Side-scrolling game Freedom Planet and it's sequel Freedom Planet 2. He is also the brother to King Dail of Shuigang. He aims to find his father's murderer and get revenge.
He is voiced by Sean Chiplock who also voiced Spade's brother King Dail, Natsuki Subaru from Re:Zero and Kiyotaka Ishimaru from Danganronpa.
==Appearance==
Spade is an anthropomorphic white panda, who wears a red scarf, a black tank top, red fingerless gloves and brown baggy pants with red-tinted shades. In the upcoming Freedom Planet 2, his appearance has been altered with white jeans, a black jacket, and the removal of his red fingerless gloves.
==Personality==
Spade is rude and a smart-aleck. He is unwilling to listen to reason, such as when Lilac tried to inform him that Lord Brevon was the one who murdered his father. He also holds grudges, as seen in the way he treats Lilac and Carol after they left the Red Scarves. Like Shadow, he's cold and vengeful, in Freedom Planet 2 he gains a charming part to add to his personality.
==History==
Before the events of Freedom Planet, Spade was a member of the thieves known as the Red Scarves, alongside Lilac and Carol. It is inferred that he was close to them, but when they left, it sparked a deep hatred for the two within him. It is unknown why he joined the Red Scarves, being royalty.
Spade first appears before the boss of Relic Maze, when he steals the ancient artifact known as the Kingdom Stone for Mayor Zao. After exchanging words (and blows) with Lilac and Carol, he flees with the Stone.
Spade's next appearance is before Fortune Night, where he explains that he had already ridden himself of the Kingdom Stone, giving it to Mayor Zao. He is attacked by Serpentine and flees once more.
He next appears as the boss of the Fire Ship in Sky Battalion. Lilac attempts to inform him that Lord Brevon is his' father's murderer, but he refuses to listen.
Spade then appears as the boss of Trap Hideout. Once defeated, Carol and Milla explain that Lilac and Torque have been kidnapped, and that Brevon murdered his father. He finally realizes the truth, and helps them save the others.
His final appearance is after defeating Prince Dail. As Dail is about to deliver a finishing blow to the heroes, Spade steps in and knocks Dail out of the air, and proceeds to chase him down.

==Relationships==
Lilac: Years ago, Lilac used to be part of the Red Scarves alongside Spade. But when he started to cross "certain lines" (possibly murder), the girls broke from the Scarves' ranks. Since then, Spade sees Lilac as a traitor and hasn't forgiven her for deserting him, and the two had inevitably became sworn rivals. While Carol and co. call her Lilac after she decides to call herself by her last name, Spade would still call her Sash, although he didn't in the game. She feels guilty for something she did to him when she and Carol left the Scarves, stating she was scared and didn't know what she was doing. Any other part of Spade's history with Lilac is currently unknown.
Dail: Spade is the younger half-bother of Prince Dail, who hired him to steal the Kingdom Stone in order to find their Father's killer (which turns out to be Lord Brevon). Details of their relationship and history are currently unknown. In one point in the story, Torque asked Carol if Spade is was also a prince since he was Dail's brother. Carol stated that he could be, though he never talked about it.
King of Shuigang: Spade's father was the King of Shuigang, though no details of their relationship are told. However, when he learned that his father was murdered, Spade seemed to have taken it personal and was determined to find the killer, even going to the extreme and stealing the Kingdom Stone.
