Kanade Watanabe

Kanade is usually a calm and kind woman who prefers to solve most of her problems diplomatically. However, she won't hesitate to show her aggressive side when she or her close ones are threatened. She is very protective of those she considers friends and family and would always go out of her way to help them if they get themselves in a tough situation. It has also become a firm belief of hers that everyone should be both physically and mentally strong enough to protect others, including themselves, part of why her daughter seems unfazed by a lot of things.

## Character Backstory

Before transferring to this world, she was a mutant girl in NYC that lost her family at a young age. At the age of 16, she was nearly captured by anti-mutant soldiers, but was saved by Shizuo Watanabe whose mission coincidentally led him to her location. Regardless, she tagged along with him and they became close over time. From that moment, she was determined to get stronger so she could prevent others from suffering the same fate she almost did. Aside from that, she took occasional jobs from a conman P.I. where she met some of her closest friends like Donatello and Nepeta. They've shared lots of adventures and have saved each other's skin plenty of times. Right before the Civil War in NYC, she was transferred to the universe of BW where she now lives the rest of her life.

## Storyline:

### Season 1:

Kanade arrived in this world with Shizuo and one of the first things they did was take down a corrupt cops harassing a store owner. In return, they were given a place to stay until they got back on their feet. Slowly but surely, she was reunited with her friends from the world she was born in. Just when this world seemed to be ideal to her, she witnessed an assassination in progress at the park. She tried to stop it, but the assassin proved too overwhelming both for her and his intended target. However, she was let go since she wasn't on the assassin's agenda. It was one of the events that greatly affected her mental state. Shortly afterwards, she got married and got pregnant with her soon-to-be daughter. Kanade was mainly a stay at home wife during that time and her life was rather mundane until her husband mysteriously disappeared. That was another major blow to her mental state as she felt completely powerless yet again. She was going to make herself disappear until she remembered a certain man's words: "Power is everything, without it you cannot protect anyone, let alone yourself." This certain man, of course, was Vergil - someone she happened to talk to at a cafe, who criticized her lack of control over her power. Ironically, his words got her moving forward again. She also received help from a few other people and after that, she moved away from Tokyo and worked hard on improving herself for the sake of her and her daughter.

### Season 2:

Years later, she returned to Tokyo and met up with her old friends once more. Kanade was one of the people that helped her friend Donatello regain his confidence in himself, especially when she helped defeat a mental parasite that preyed on his insecurities and fears. She also helped Vergil's "human half", known as V, reunite with his pure demonic half after a grueling battle she fought alongside Dante and V. It was an event when she had to use the full extent of her improved power over the years, she demonstrated it best when she fought Beowulf and finished it off with her new ultimate move, the Final Crescendo. Sometime later, she reunited with her sister, Hibiki, who was from another universe, but regardless of that, she treated her like family and let her stay at her home without question.

## Fun facts/Trivia

* Kanade's faceclaim is originally known as Kanade Otonokoji from the fan game SDRA2.
* Kanade was born as a character from a mere suggestion in a previous RP. While hosting a certain session, the anti-mutant soldiers mentioned above were originally attempting to capture a mere faceless NPC until it was suggested I make that rescued NPC an actual character.
