So, let’s talk about Kaede Azusagawa—yeah, the true version of her character from Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, also known as Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai. She’s definitely one of the more emotionally complex figures in the series, and honestly, it’s hard not to feel for her. As the younger half-sister of the main protagonist, Sakuta Azusagawa, Kaede Azusagawa plays a pivotal role throughout the story, especially when it comes to exploring themes of trauma, identity, and healing.

Now, when we first meet Kaede Azusagawa (True), things are… complicated. She’s dealing with dissociative identity disorder—DID—stemming from a pretty intense bullying incident back at school. That kind of emotional trauma really shook her to the core, leading to a complete memory wipe of her past self. And because of that, the girl we see at the beginning isn’t quite the real Kaede Azusagawa. Instead, she’s this outgoing, almost fearless personality—super energetic, confident, maybe even a little reckless. But deep down, she’s struggling. She doesn’t know who she really is anymore, and that inner conflict is something Kaede Azusagawa has to face head-on.

Sakuta, being the caring older brother he is, steps in to help. He spends a lot of time with Kaede Azusagawa, trying to rebuild their bond and create new memories—ones that might eventually trigger the return of her original self. And let me tell you, those moments between them? Absolutely heart-wrenching. Watching Sakuta gently guide Kaede Azusagawa through her pain, slowly helping her reconnect with who she used to be—it adds so much emotional depth to the whole narrative.

As the anime unfolds, we start to see progress. Kaede Azusagawa begins remembering fragments of her past. Little things at first—flashes of emotion, vague images—but they add up. She starts piecing together what happened, why she developed DID, and gradually, the real Kaede Azusagawa starts to resurface. Her journey toward recovery isn’t fast or easy, but it’s powerful. And honestly, it’s one of the most touching arcs in the entire series.

Now, if we dive into personality typing, there’s a strong case for Kaede Azusagawa (True) being an INFJ. I mean, think about it: she’s quiet, introspective, and deeply in tune with the emotions of others—even without words. That’s classic INFJ intuition and empathy right there. She’s compassionate, idealistic, and clearly driven by a desire to do good, which fits perfectly with the “counselor” archetype often associated with INFJs. Plus, she values meaningful connections over shallow socializing, which explains why she prefers smaller, more intimate settings rather than big group scenes.

But—and this is a big but—her experience with DID makes things way more layered. The alternate identity she developed wasn’t introverted or reflective at all. In fact, it was kind of the opposite: bold, extroverted, and sometimes even dismissive of other people’s feelings. So while the true Kaede Azusagawa lines up neatly with INFJ traits, her condition means we’re seeing multiple facets of a single person. It’s a reminder that personality types aren’t set in stone, especially when mental health challenges come into play.

Switching gears a bit, Kaede Azusagawa also shows signs of being an Enneagram Type 6—the Loyalist. This makes a lot of sense when you consider how much she relies on Sakuta. She constantly seeks reassurance, worries about worst-case scenarios, and deeply fears abandonment. There’s this underlying need for safety and stability that defines a lot of her behavior. And hey, who can blame her? After going through something as traumatic as she did, needing that emotional anchor is completely understandable.

Her loyalty to her brother is another huge clue. She wants to make him proud, to be someone he can count on. That drive to form strong bonds with trustworthy people? Textbook Type 6 energy. Still, it’s worth remembering that these frameworks—whether MBTI or Enneagram—are just tools. They help us understand patterns, but they don’t capture every nuance of someone like Kaede Azusagawa. People are messy, complex, and ever-evolving, and Kaede Azusagawa is no exception.

Oh, and here’s another fun angle: astrology. If we were to assign a zodiac sign to Kaede Azusagawa, Virgo would be a solid fit. She’s meticulous, organized, and has this quiet dedication to getting things right. You know, the kind of person who double-checks everything and hates cutting corners. That perfectionism? Totally Virgo. And while it helps her be reliable and efficient, it also weighs on her. She’s incredibly self-critical, always doubting herself, afraid of making mistakes. That fear of failure? It’s not just stress—it’s tied to her deeper struggle for control in a world that once felt chaotic and unsafe.

So yeah, putting it all together—Kaede Azusagawa (True) is a beautifully layered character. Whether you’re looking at her through the lens of psychology, personality theory, or even astrology, one thing stays consistent: she’s trying to heal, to find herself again, and to rebuild trust—in others and in herself. And through it all, Kaede Azusagawa remains a quiet but powerful presence in Bunny Girl Senpai, reminding us how fragile identity can be, and how strong the human spirit is when given love and support.
