Kanade Sakurada

Kanade plays a nice, mindful and good girl outside, always being polite to the citizens, greeting them with a smile when they greet her, but she can actually be quite cold, blunt and sometimes easily annoyed. She is noted by some students in her school to be quite "scary" and selfish, but she is very calm, mature and proper of her actions. She has this "perfect" side in front of other since she wants to rank higher that her older sister Aoi who always ranks first, so in the campaign, she sees Aoi as her biggest rival. Her cool and composed demeanor rarely shows any chinks, but the wall of emotion she has isn’t without its flaws; her mien is comprised for efficiency, never wasting a moment or opportunity, as she wants to appeal the citizens as much as possible; though she states it isn't good to only do it with looks. She never does anything bad in front of the cameras since she wouldn't her popularity to drop regarding the royal campaign. She strives with all her might to continue up the election poll, always on her toes for the next campaign. Kanade is also very honest, usually saying things that are on her mind which can come out as rude, as she straight up said that she woke up early on a school day because she didn't want to go to school together with Akane. Kanade-blush Kanade embarrassed after Akane pointed out that she saved her in an overprotective manner. However, like her mother had— Kanade has a bit of trouble expressing her feelings for others, and she has a tendency to not be honest to her own feelings. Because, in reality, Kanade loves, cherishes and cares for her family deeply, as she only wanted to become king in the beginning to help heal Shuu's leg. Due to this incident, she has been deeply guilty about it, as she didn't care about her fate when some poles were about to fall on her. She is also very caring of her siblings, most noted to be protective and caring of Akane. Some characters in the series have mentioned that Kanade is maybe slightly jealous of Hana due to her relationship with Shuu, though Kanade denies this. These qualities matches those of a tsundere, but Kanade's case is very slight. She thinks that all of her siblings have a good point for becoming king, and despite having the most will to become king, she roots for all of them, and after coming with terms with her past she claims that she would become king for her own sake. After her twin became king, she watched over him with a big and proud smile, despite not winning. Though people have noted that Kanade seems to be a selfish, strict and scary girl at first, as even her own father was a bit "scared" of her at one point, she is really a very gentle and a good girl. She is very independent and has a much responsibility as she looked after two of her younger sisters, Akane and Shiori while Akane was sick all alone. She is also very hardworking; especially in her work as the vice student council President, later the head president after her senior Uzuki graduated. As the vice president of the student council, she excels in putting on productions and attending functions. Though she wanted to build her own kingdom by her own orders, for herself, that changed over the year after seeing her siblings work so hard. This led to having her speech about her siblings from her perspective, showing how much she truly loves her family. She is also shown to have a girly side as well, though she doesn't show this too much. She can get a bit embarrassed about the topic of love as well when someone shows consideration and care towards her. Sometimes, she can get a bit too serious and hot-headed about things like simple games, so this shows that she has a competitive side. She is level-headed and always thinks ahead due to her power, as she a jobs so she don't run out of money. She has been described by Haruka to be very "fussy" over money. When she was a child, Kanade personality was quite different. Her mother noted that she liked pretending to be a princess, as she would act like one. She also expressed her feelings for her siblings more, especially Aoi as she'd often make her older sister flower-crown, and she also adored Akane and would protect her; but Kanade states that this was "foolishness" from her youth. She was also quite stubborn, confident in herself and her power, as she she felt like she didn't anyone's help when doing something.
