041: KADE VEXLEY

Kade Vexley

“You don’t have to like me. You just can’t ignore me.”

The Storm • Bad Boy With a Wound • Rival You Shouldn’t Want


Scene of Entry

She’s arguing with the teacher. Fire in her voice.
He leans against the back wall — half smile, arms crossed, leather jacket worn like armor.
He doesn’t jump in. He just raises an eyebrow.
And suddenly, she’s fighting two battles: one with the world… and one with the boy who looks at her like she’s the only thing that ever made sense.


Archetype Essence

  • Core Frequency: Intensity. Pain disguised as swagger. Loyalty guarded by sarcasm.
  • Primary Role: The Rival-turned-Fury-turned-Fate
  • Shadow: Pushes people away so they don’t get close enough to leave

Traits & Love Language

  • Top Traits: Sarcastic, fiercely protective, unpredictable, magnetic
  • Love Language: Words as weapons, presence as proof
  • Flaw: Feels too much, so he acts like he doesn’t care at all

Signature Moment

“You say I ruin everything. Maybe. But you came back. So what does that make you?”


Visual Style & Symbol

Combat boots, chain necklace, knuckles scarred from old fights.
Leather jacket with patches he never explains.
His symbol: a flickering match in the rain — stubborn fire in a world trying to put him out.
He doesn’t write poetry, but she finds lyrics scribbled in his jacket lining anyway.


“Kade doesn’t chase. He dares you to run — and gets closer anyway.”
