Kanae

Kanae is a Partner in Arcaea, designed after the Arcaea Song Contest 2019 Grand Prize winner, A Wandering Melody of Love. 
==Character==
===Name===
Kanae's name, 叶永, contains the characters 叶 (to grant wishes) and 永 (forever).
===Appearance===
Kanae has long, wavy light brown hair and yellow eyes. The upper section of her hair is braided and held in place by two dark blue bows with white flowers; below this, her hair continues in loose twintails.
She wears a light yellow yukata with a floral pattern over top of a white collared garment with a dark blue bow. Her obi is dark blue with a pink checkered pattern, matching the blue geta on her feet. She also wears a white shawl with an orange floral pattern at the ends, tied around her waist. Three colorful balloons — one pink, one yellow, and one blue — are tied to her left hand, with bells attached to their strings. She holds a kitsune mask in her right hand, also with bells attached; in the artwork for A Wandering Melody of Love and AI[UE]OON, it is tied around her head.
==Gameplay==
===Stats by level===
===Skill===
Kanae's is unlocked at Level 8, and sets the background of certain songs to either omatsuri_light or omatsuri_conflict, depending on the device time:
* 6:00 AM to 7:59 PM - Light
* 8:00 PM to 5:59 AM - Conflict
This skill affects songs in the Sunset Radiance pack, as well as Evening in Scarlet and Summer Fireworks of Love.
Other songs using the omatsuri_light or omatsuri_conflict backgrounds are unaffected by this skill.
The background will not change immediately if the day-night transition time passes mid-song, and will only take effect upon the next play.
==Trivia==
*Kanae is the first partner to have a different illustrator for their Awakened form.
