Kaede is Kikyou's younger sister.  She has very high respect for her older sister.  When she was little, she helped Kikyou taking care of Onigumo in the cave.  She saw evil in him and told her sister about it.  Kikyou told her not to worry about it because Onigumo will never be able to walk again.  50 years later, when Kagome showed up, she was the first to realize that Kagome is Kikyou's reincarnation.  She helped Kagome to control Inuyasha by putting the necklace spell on him.  She then got Kagome and Inuyasha to work together to find the jewel shards after it was broken.  After Kikyou was brought back to life, Kaede wants her sister to let go of her anger and return the underworld and be at peace.  Kikyou came to her to know about Naraku and the cause of her death.
