Tadase

**Tadase** is a major character in the Gaia's Melody series. He is one of Akira's original friends from Teralolz.

## Personality

Tadase was formerly a very reclusive person, to the point he was effectively mute, until he met Akira, upon which he opened up and became friends with Akira, Tara, Echo and Kachie.

One of his most defining traits is that he is in love with Akira. It drives him to go incredible lengths for Akira, risking everything to protect her. This allows him to snap her out of Agares mind control, and to stand up to Agares when he tries to enter the Gate. This also causes him to show enmity towards anybody who he considers a threat to Akira. His dislike of Zephyr stems from both this and the fact he considers him a love rival for Akira.

## Background

After the destruction of Altoona Vilage, Tadase's birthplace, he and his father fled to Teralolz. After arriving, he was very silent. He began spending time with Tara, although he didn't talk to her. After Kachie arrived in the village, he spent time with her, but still didn't talk and couldn't be considered a friend.

Tadase took an interest in Akira when she first arrived, and manged to get him to speak. Afterwards, with some help from Tara, Tadase became friends with the three girls, and later joined a club including them and Echo after Akira thought of the idea.
As some point, the group were playing by a river, when Akira fell in. Unable to help her, Tadase, Tara and Kachie had to get Echo to help find her.
