 Two is better than one, no? So does a duet is better than a solo.
 — Cadenza

Cadenza is a member of Shadow House as an adult Shadow of the 2nd floor.

## Appearance

Cadenza has wavy, medium-length, unevenly cut brushwood-dyed (*fushizome*) hair. She wears a hairpin with two red roses and its leaves to her left. Her eyes are maximum purple.

Cadenza wears a patterned, off shoulder, pastel violet blouse trimmed with ruffles, with lace sleeves sharing the same color. She dons an asymmetrical skirt with similar color to her blouse; short around thigh-length, for in front and long, reaching the ankles at the back. A dark violet belt with a big ribbon in the middle hanging around her waist, binding two parts of clothing together. She also wears a pair of beige peep toe boots as footwear. While on her neck, she puts on a violet choker as an accessory.

## Personality

Cadenza is known as an elegant and proper-mannered lady in public. She is careful with her words and acts like a true high-class lady. A perfectionist with an earnest personality who treats others with politeness and courtesy, she would love to assist in all kinds of matters if needed. By this, Cadenza has a friendly air surrounding her, making her approachable. Thanks to her extroverted personality, she loves to talk with fellow Shadows and build even the slightest friendship between them. However, she reconsiders on getting close to anyone, personality wise, that she dislikes.

Due to her passion for elegant, noble life, she demands anything to be elegant and luxurious according to her taste. She is strict on herself just to achieve her dream way of life. It always tickles her to see anything graceless, Cadenza complains a lot even showing discomfort and bothered, also having the urge to rid it at once. She feels appreciated if her suggestion is well received, however she feels terribly disappointed if the reaction is otherwise. Cadenza finds it really hard to control her selfish desire that may bring unpleasantness to others which forces her to rely on someone else to stop her, this may explain why she is rarely being spotted alone.

To anyone she is close to, Cadenza will be more loose and open, revealing a side of her that has been hiding most of the time. Cadenza is actually a tomboyish and carefree lady who loves freedom and is unbound by rules. She becomes far from elegant and expresses her feelings more. She appeared to be clingy, quite childish and often to the point being annoying. She, too, acts unlady-like and hyperactive during this state.
