Caeda, the Thousand Blade

"Now I'm motivated!"

**Caeda** is an exiled former fief with penchant for swordsmanship and fine arts. Her main goal is to gain more power, lest her freedom be taken from her once more. She is the storm that is approaching.

## History

Caeda is a sheltered daughter to the House Wolfram, a militaristic branch family that is known to be quite Abadaran-leaning. House Wolfram belongs to a major house that held a port town and does its duties to the town and the state by defending it from dangers that arose against it and its citizens in either the form of gold, arms, men, or ships.

She had shown passion for both foreign and local fencing and swordsmanship but not so much for scholarly fields.

Both her parents have already died long ago from a disease, as such, it was up to his older brother to earn for their keep to the House as one of the port town's defenders as an adjutant. She only managed to earn worldly experience once she came of age, joining her older brother in defending the town. There she met various people. One of them was a conscript named Sidus, whom she always met and had eventually became friendly with as they both followed the adjutant.

In a seemingly normal day before the conscripts were to be reassigned again, tragedy struck. The port town was attacked by a powerful entity. She was still far back home when it all happened, but when she arrived, it was already too late. There's already casualties, but her brother is nowhere to be seen. While Sidus seems to be fine if not unconscious.

She tried her best to continue upon her brother's legacy, but the port town was dysfunctional for a time and the House Wolfram is almost pretty much done as a fief. Her brother then turned up months after, crippled and exiled. He came for her to get her out of the town, knowing there's nothing left for her there.

She had learned more things on their travels, but she just cannot ever adapt to this lifestyle. They reunited with Sidus once more, but they had to leave soon right after. She felt lacking control on her own life living like this.

And so she eventually set out on her own away from her brother. This time, she's heading back to Edyn. She's set to rise above her brother's shadow, trying to make her own mark in the world. Probably meet people she can become friends with for longer, or perhaps meet some old friends?

## Personality

Caeda seems to be a prim and proper lady, an obvious carryover from her patrician background. She still have many things to learn about the world yet so she is still easy to trust others and thus, can be easily influenced by others.

She's brave, committed, curious, peppy, and likes doing things over the top. But she still is naive and easy to manipulate.

## Abilities

Caeda is a proficient iaidoka and traditional sword practitioner who also happens to be able to cast a select spells. Among her current arsenal is a black and gold katana and a dark glass Split-blade sword made of obsidian.

She received her katana from a close friend while the split-blade sword is her and her brother's family heirloom. She's lithe and fast with both the katana and the sword, being able to parry attacks with either for them.

She can cut anything from impossibly long ranges for such a short blade with her katana, being able to slice targets from as far as twenty five feet with her iai techniques. She can also shoot magical sword-shaped missiles and even throw a spectral copy of her split-blade sword unto an opponent as it spun like a flying buzzsaw. Finally, she can call upon her innate powers, slightly changing her appearance to be more alien-like as blue bright smoke bellowed from her eyes and her arms, making her even more lithe than before.
