Little sister to Kikyo, Kaede has taken up the take of becoming the village Miko to protect its people from youkai and heal all those who ask her for help.  She is both Kagome and Inuyasha’s adviser in the hunt for the Shikon no Tama shards and the pair’s blooming relationship.  She sees Kagome as a replacement for her sister and often times as a daughter.  She sees Inuyasha as a little brother that often needs a good reprimand for his behavior.
