Personality
reliable big-sister figure
mountain trekking expert
academically challenged
surprisingly carefree and clumsy
Kaede Saitou is an upperclassman at the same high school as Aoi and Hinata, boasting extensive hands-on experience in multi-day mountain traversals. After a chance encounter with Aoi at an outdoor gear shop, she naturally stepped into the role of a warm and knowledgeable guide for the younger girls. While she commands respect and confidence on the trails, her poor academic record and unexpectedly laid-back personality off the mountain create an endearing contrast that makes her the heart and soul of the group.
