Background
Kaede was originally an Angel that was summoned to attack civilization in one of the past Tenma Wars. She incarnated inside the corpse of a wolf-type Lycanthrope, becoming the progenitor of a brand new race called the Tengu which served as a hybrid of angel and lycanthrope. Some time after obtaining a physical body, Kaede roamed the land and eventually encountered Byakuya Araki in the village of the Ogres, becoming his apprentice and learning the ways of the sword alongside his unnamed grandson who was younger than her. Over the years, Byakuya grew old and passed away, leaving his grandson who became a master of the sword and grew to surpass Kaede in technique. Kaede became smitten with him and confessed her feelings under a large maple tree, consummating their love over a night together. Kaede left the village afterwards, unknown to the unnamed ogre that she would carry his child.

Three centuries later, she gave birth to their child and named her Momiji, draining most of her remaining power in the process and leaving her weakened. Unable to continue in her duties as chief, Kaede passed on the role to her daughter who was the most powerful and capable of her children.
