**Spade** is the leader of the Red Scarves, a gang of criminals who steal and kill for a living. He is also implied to be the person who taught Lilac and Carol to fight, and holds resentment over them leaving his gang. He is the younger brother of Prince Dail, the ruler of Shuigang.

In Freedom Planet, Spade hears of his father's death and works with both Dail and Mayor Zao in order to find out who killed him. He eventually learns from Carol that Brevon was the one who murdered his father and reluctantly teams up with Team Lilac in order to avenge his father and free Dail of Brevon's control.

Spade was designed by Sabrina DiDuro and was originally meant to be a playable character in Freedom Planet, but he is not playable in any version of the game.

## Appearance

Spade is a panda with green eyes. He has hair that is slicked down on the back and bangs on the right side of his forehead.

Spade wears a black tank top, brown jeans, and biker gloves. He wears a red scarf around his neck and red sunglasses that he wears over his forehead, both of which mark his status as the leader of the Red Scarves.

## Personality

Spade has a cold and rude personality. He holds grudges very easily, like how he resents Lilac and Carol for leaving the Red Scarves. He will, however, sometimes work together with people whom he hates in order to get what he wants. He also appears to think highly of his abilities, openly mocking those he fights.

## Abilities

* **Martial Arts**: Spade was trained in martial arts by the Red Scarves and gradually worked his way up to be their leader.
* **Agility**: Spade can dodge attacks on the ground or in midair via his flash jump ability. Dail appears to use this same move, so it is probably something he learned from his family rather than the Scarves.
* **Card Usage**: Spade's main weapon is a deck of cards. He can charge his cards with energy and launch them back at his opponents.
* **Leadership**: Spade is a charismatic leader with good decision-making skills. He always pursues the path that will benefit the Scarves.

## Relationships

### Sash Lilac and Carol Tea

Lilac and Carol were friends with Spade back when they were members of the Red Scarves. However, when Spade began crossing certain lines, like murder, that they disagreed with, they left the gang. Ever since then, Spade has seen Lilac and Carol as nothing more than traitors and continues to hold a grudge against them. Lilac in particular did something to him that he remains angry about, but what she did is still unknown.

### Prince Dail

Dail is the older brother of Spade. Most of the details of their relationship are unknown, but Spade seems to believe that he would've been a better leader for Shuigang. When Torque asks Carol about Spade's relationship with Dail, she says he never talked much about it.

### Former King of Shuigang

Few details of Spade's relationship with his father are known, but he seemed to take the news of his death quite personally. He works with both Dail and Mayor Zao in order to find out who killed him in order to make Brevon, the murderer, pay for what he did.
