five foot seven | dark brown | black
Her first week abroad, Kaede slashed off the long, silken hair that had once fallen below her waist, the hair that her father complimented every day. She cried, just a little, but she'd gotten too used to hiding her face behind the sheet of it. The next day she went to a hairstylist, a real one, got it touched up into a very chic lob, and acted like she was stupendously pleased with the compliments that came with her new 'do. The week after that, she pierced her ears, three more holes in the upper lobe and one in the helix. That night, her roommates took her out clubbing for the first time. She shed the dainty dresses in favor of loose tanks, skinny jeans, leather jackets, heeled black boots. In the span of a month, she went from perfect daughter to that edgy indie girl.
The more people spoke to her, the more she realized she was no longer just pretending to be the cool personality she'd assumed. She enjoyed having casual conversations with classmates, laughing about the latest celebrity drama, even going out for drinks at night when she should have been studying. Inadvertently, she'd allowed herself to become the person she always had the potential to be. The too long, too bony limbs which had once felt only gangly, now felt elegant. Felt strong. Felt capable. In the span of a month, she went from meek to confident.

Engaging | Indecisive | Impulsive | Aimless
Of all the negativities she has managed to shed, she has not lost her vague and crippling fear of what the future will, or will not, bring. She sometimes believes she would like to be a prophet of some sort, able to see all the possibilities, all the outcomes of the paths she could take. (But then sometimes, the idea of that scares her more.) When she studied in London, she changed her major a grand total of three times and at the end of it all she came out with a degree in marketing that she knows she'll never use again. Maybe she should have switched a fourth time. Or maybe she should have just stuck with her first choice. The nebulous nature of her future is not something she cares to think of often, and as such is not something she has taken any steps towards resolving. She insists, when people ask, having no end goal in mind just means she can live her life in the present, to the fullest, without any restrictions in place to keep her from obeying the whims of her compulsions. She's also not the most honest person. But she isn't lying about the whims, the impulses. Perhaps a desperate attempt to mask her own indecision from herself, Kaede often jumps headlong into whatever her latest decision is, does not hesitate to lift her camera and snap a picture of even the most frightening looking people, does not hesitate to jump from a plane, or from a bridge. All so she can say, See? I am not broken, am not incapable. I can make this decision, can't I? She's not sure, exactly, who those words are for. But for the moment, they are saving her.
What she lacks in motivation, she makes up for in love. She does not care about much, cannot muster the effort for those things, but when she looks through the viewfinder of her camera to focus on her latest subject, clueless and lovely for it, she does not mind that she has spent four very valuable hours sitting in the park for snapshots that will mostly be useless. Because those four valuable hours were used for the sake even more valuable work. She is not unhappy the way things are now. She is scared, sometimes, at the back of her mind, but she is not unhappy.

It was on a Tuesday, just outside of the school gates, that she got the call from her mother. She remembers vividly the color of the leaves hanging off the trees above her, recalls in perfect detail the texture of the rough pavement she was looking down on. Everything about the instant remains perfectly clear, except the voice of her mother, which comes through in her memories muffled, always muffled. She does not remember much about the eight hours that came after. She does remember roaming the suddenly too large house for days after, softly calling her brother's name as though she expected him, somehow, to reply eventually.
Things were different afterwards, though nothing that wouldn't be expected. Already somewhat shy, Kaede became more withdrawn and silent, anxious, always, every moment spent worrying about what was happening while she was incapable of doing anything. Even when her brother came back, weeks later, worse for wear but still willing to smile and endure his sister's crushing grip, she did not lose that atmosphere of agitation. Understandably off-putting, Kaede spent her school days as something of a social recluse. It was not until her father offered to ship her off to England for university that she swore to herself she'd change. And she did. She realized, maybe a year or so into her time there, that while her household and family were incredibly important to her, her continual dependence on them and their company was not doing her any favors. When she returned after her years there, she promptly declared to her parents that she'd like to live alone, without their support. (She was surprised when they agreed so easily. She'd expected, perhaps, just a little resistance.) Since then, she's been making her way through life one day at a time. She decided to pursue her true passion of photography, set up a blog that's become rather popular, a series of candid photos taken of unsuspecting people followed by a brief interview with them. She's also been getting a bit of work as a freelance photographer, though she still often finds herself short of funds and working a part time job at a cafe down the street.

collection of terrifically and truly terrible candids of her friends.
Basil is often featured due to accessibility, but viewers respond
well to shots taken of him when some chef on Chopped has
just decided to whip out a blender with 15 seconds left on the
clock. ■ Kaede's true talent with the camera lies in her uncanny
ability to get candid shots of even the most attractive people
looking absolutely and monstrously horrible. It's her biggest
joy in life. She's a little obsessive about it though, and her first
instinct upon meeting anyone attractive is to get a terrible pic-
ture of them. ■ She has physical albums in a bookshelf of all
best (or worst, depending on perspective) candids she's taken.
