Character Description: Kaede
Kaede is the younger sister of Kikyou, and was about 7 years old when Kikyou was killed. Due to getting hurt, she lost one of her eyes and grew up to be the priestess of the village in her sister's stead. She also guarded the forest where InuYasha had been pinned to a tree so that no one would release the seal and reawaken him.
When InuYasha was reawakened, Kaede was the one to place the beads of subjugation on his neck that allowed Kagome to control him. She also has powers similar to Kagome/Kikyou, as she can see things normal humans can't see and has holy powers. She also mixes potions.
Since 50 years have past since she was a child, she is now an old lady and is pretty wise. She was the first to suspect that there was something going on between her sister and InuYasha. She, like her sister, also uses the bow and arrow.
I'm told Kaede's name means "Maple Tree" in Japanese.
