Appearance:
Personality: Kaiden is one hell of an observational, and silent person. She has a terrible habit for startling people by apparently moving from one spot to the next with no notice. She can be described as reserved but she can also be described as someone who takes little nonsense and isn't afraid to give you silver tongued sass and sarcasm so well refined that even those who are well aware of this sarcasm, aren't able to tell if she is being such or not. If she doesn't like you, she sees no point in hiding it. Kaiden see's no point in hiding who she is from people. She isn't as distasteful as to jeopardize something important if she has to work with someone she doesn't like. However if someone she doesn't like is acting distasteful towards someone, she will be quick to point them out to people that do not know them. Kaiden has a very fine tuned sense of word play and an even sharper sense of logic and reasoning. Verbal conversations are her forte and though she often tries not to get into an argument with others, she can't help it if she's finding someone, in layman's terms: being stupid. She will call you out on it, regardless of friend or foe. If you're the latter however, she will get creative with insults to a point where you won't know it until it's rolled around in your head for a few good minutes, making you yell out in defiance just before she hits you in the gut. On the friend side of the spectrum, the more friendly she is, she'll still make a clever insult that rolls around in your cranium, only to have you yell "Hey!" as she's already vanished with a smug grin on her face.
This however creates an untrue air of her thinking she is better than everyone else, which is further from the truth than one end of the universe is from the other. If Kaiden see's something genuine in someone worth defending, she will do just that when the time comes for it. She believes in both theory and field work, though what kind of work she does is an absolute mystery to anyone else because she never talks about it with anyone else
at all. She has no one to really call a friend as she hasn't spent enough one on one contact with people to form bonds. It's not that Kaiden refuses the idea of friendship, it's just that she hasn't found time for it. She spends only a third of her time at the Guild where she is rarely seen, and if she is, she's often pointed out to others for being the 'Ghost' or 'Spectre' of the Guild for rarely appearing and if so, it's often she's not wanted by others due to her enigmatic nature and 'not afraid to tell it to your face' attitude who doesn't seem to show much emotion. Kaiden does have emotion, she just shows them in smaller amounts. That is until something or someone really grinds her gears enough for her to promptly strike you so hard you wonder what train just hit you and if someone got it's plate number. Other than that she usually remains calm at all times, and sometimes even seems to have no sense of fear.
Kaiden also has an interest in writing and composing music, with the help of her magic. She also has a decent singing voice and is a professional whistler. Her other hobbies include solving puzzles and general observation, and working out paradoxes.
History: Kaiden lived in Radiant Garden in a small book shop next to a Moogle Store. She lived rather plainly while learning a bit of magic before it came the time that Radiant Garden would fall. Kaiden’s story begins after she arrived in Traverse Town, looking around for the home she once knew and wanted to know where she was. At a young age, all Kaiden had were her books, and having only a few with her, she scoured the town for any information about Radiant Garden, and any attempt to try and get back home. She tried to teach herself a combination of space bending magic in hopes to somehow return from where she had come from. She spent years gathering information in notebooks, living amongst a group of pleasant Moogles who seemed to sympathise with her. While she lived with them, she learned how to read and write in their language, as well as learning how to create proper magical equipment and synthesize materials.
She spent a few years within Traverse Town before she came upon a strange book by accident within the Fourth District. It was then she was attacked by a large creature of darkness, but it was quickly stopped in its assault by a strange person with an unusual weapon. After the pair of them were safe, Kaiden learned that the book was not for her, but initially meant for someone else. That someone, failed to appear, and was taken by what the person called a Heartless. Kaiden, being ever so inquisitive, started badgering the stranger with questions about what a Heartless was and how they worked, what they existed for and what they were doing. The stranger couldn’t answer all of her questions, but instead was interested in the girl’s own writings. Kaiden told her she was looking for a way back home, but wasn’t able to find one yet. The stranger looked through the notes and found the work interesting, and even intriguing.
The stranger then gave Kaiden an offer, showing her the strange weapon that she called a Keyblade. Kaiden held onto the weapon for just a moment, curious about what it was. The stranger gave her name as Mia, and she was from another world where they fought the Heartless, and were trying to help find places that were lost. Kaiden immediately became interested and almost demanded that she go along with Mia, as she wanted to find home as soon as possible. Mia had no reason to refuse, and within a week, Kaiden was taken to Everlastia and to where Mia lived in River Town. Unlike most apprentices to the Guild, Mia did not take Kaiden directly to the elders, but instead had another plan of action.
Kaiden learned that Mia was a Master. She learned what this meant in time as the guild Elders accepted the request of training Kaiden away from the guild, rather than within its walls. Kaiden lived within a small apartment with Mia, which was over a café Mia ran in her spare time. Kaiden trained more fluently in the ways of magic, focusing on her affinity with space and time, and also a bit of fire magic, as Mia learned one day after Kaiden grew so frustrated with an assignment she almost set the entire place on fire. Kaiden went to the guild rarely and often on her own as Mia was busy with her own work or her own tasks. Whenever Kaiden was there, rumors quickly spread of her being some kind of ghost, and her reputation of being quiet and sneaking up on people earned her the nickname Ghost, and Spectre. Kaiden grew used to it and even played along with some of the rumors for fun, but she was mostly left alone. There were times where she would spend a few days at the Guild, so she had her own room, though not often used.
As time passed, Kaiden grew older and Mia seemed to be growing weaker. Mia had come down with an ailment that was rapidly taking over her body, but she would not rest until she saw her apprentice become a keyblade master. In a private meeting, the Elder’s tested her abilities and while she passed, Mia made one more request: no one else was to know of Kaiden becoming a Master. While this request was highly irregular of the usual Guild ways, they respected her decision nonetheless and Kaiden’s identity of a Master was kept a secret. Kaiden however was put on Seeker’s assignments, and that is all that there was to be known by anyone else that was not the Elders, Kaiden, or Mia. There was further discussion, as Kaiden found it unusual at 17 she was pushed to become a Master by her own.
Upon returning home that night, Mia told Kaiden of her research, and why she initially brought her to Everlastia. Though the conversation was brief, Kaiden understood what her role was in Mia’s plans. Initially angry at her, the feeling dissipated when Kaiden was told something else; the conversation that took place without her just before they had left for home.
Kaiden only had a few days left with Mia before she passed on. Mia showed Kaiden a few last techniques and skills before her passing. To this day, Kaiden still returns occasionally to the Guild, carrying the same if not more rumors about her and her identity as a Master is still hidden from everyone else. She is still called the Ghost or Spectre of the Guild, and rarely works with anyone else on assignments, if not at all. She continues to run the café in River Town by herself. Anything else is an enigma.
Keyblade:
Kaiden's Keyblade amplifies her Time and Space magic. Her ability to enchant inanimate objects to do her will is also amplified by her Keyblade, but is strong enough on it's own.
Other: Kaiden has magic focusing on enchanting inanimate objects. She often uses this in battle to create an extra set of hands or for composing music in her free time. Her combat abilities are similar to Aqua's Ghost Drive Command Finisher in BBS. She also knows really old magic though seems to specialize more so in Time and Space magic than anything else. I'm having them listed here for future reference. Her only other specialization is specific Fire Magics but she rarely uses these, only when she gets very, very fed up with something, indicating they are higher level tiered spells, and they are always a blue colour instead of red.
