Appearance(s)

Fire Emblem Fates

Anytime someone's nice to me, I have to be nice in return. One day, I walked out of my village and met some humans. And they were so excellent to me! I had to find a way to repay them. That led me to meet more humans, who were also super nice. One favor led to another, and I wound up here without even knowing how I got here.
— Kaden, to Azura.

Kaden (Japanese: ニシキ, Nishiki) is a character in Fire Emblem Fates. The leader of a village of Hoshidan Kitsunes, Kaden is playable in two of Fates's campaigns, Birthright and Revelation.

Birthright

Conquest

Kaden appears in chapter 19 of the Conquest path as a boss. The Avatar decides to pass through kitsune-inhabited mountains in Hoshido to bypass a large Hoshidan army, at the advice of Azura. A while after the Avatar and their party begin to ascend, Kaden and the rest of the kitsune attack the Avatar's force, as they do all intruders, and possible poachers. Kaden does mention that he has encountered nothing but kindness from humans outside the mountains, but he learned from his elders that any humans approaching their mountain bear ill will.

Kaden is massacred along with the rest of the resident kitsune in the ensuing battle.
