Personality
Cadenza is known as an elegant and proper-mannered lady in public. She is careful with her words and acts like a true high-class lady. A perfectionist with an earnest personality who treats others with politeness and courtesy, she would love to assist in all kinds of matters if needed. By this, Cadenza has a friendly air surrounding her, making her approachable. Thanks to her extroverted personality, she loves to talk with fellow Shadows and build even the slightest friendship between them. However, she reconsiders on getting close to anyone, personality wise, that she dislikes.

Due to her passion for elegant, noble life, she demands anything to be elegant and luxurious according to her taste. She is strict on herself just to achieve her dream way of life. It always tickles her to see anything graceless, Cadenza complains a lot even showing discomfort and bothered, also having the urge to rid it at once. She feels appreciated if her suggestion is well received, however she feels terribly disappointed if the reaction is otherwise. Cadenza finds it really hard to control her selfish desire that may bring unpleasantness to others which forces her to rely on someone else to stop her, this may explain why she is rarely being spotted alone.

To anyone she is close to, Cadenza will be more loose and open, revealing a side of her that has been hiding most of the time. Cadenza is actually a tomboyish and carefree lady who loves freedom and is unbound by rules. She becomes far from elegant and expresses her feelings more. She appeared to be clingy, quite childish and often to the point being annoying. She, too, acts unlady-like and hyperactive during this state.

Soot Power
Cadenza can create ball shaped creatures with two sticks-like body parts that act as both hands and legs.
