Kade

Kade serves as the male protagonist of the Down To Earth Webtoon. One year, before the start of the series, he had broken up his 5-year long relationship with a girl named Delilah. This left him in a place in his life where he was lost and only lived in grief. That left him almost always emotionless. Throughout this period, he recklessly starts dating girls to find the heart he had lost, which almost lead to one of his most cherished friendships with Ellie being lost. However, one day, after thinking his day couldn't get worse in his eyes, an alien ship crash-landed in his backyard, carrying the "The Angel that fell from the sky", Zaida. While not liking the idea at first, she decided to become Zaida's "caretaker", as he decided to teach her how to be a human and show her how to adjust to life on Earth. While there were many ups and downs, the two are usually very comfortable around each other, despite the short time that they've known each other, and trust each other dearly. While not seeing it at first, Zaida was the person to bring him new light in his life and help him recover from his past.

Appearance
Kade is said to be someone very attractive, due to many characters' comments on him. He is rather tall with messy dark brown hair, a small goatee, and deep blue eyes. During middle school, he had gotten his ear pierced, due to Delilah getting hers pierced, and eventually got plugs that are around ½" (12mm) on both of his ear's, he also has a feather tattoo reaching from the top of his left arm down to his wrist. He usually wears darker colors, but in several episodes, he's seen wearing a bit of white.

Throughout a month period, after Kade's run-in with Delilah, he went through a depressed state, letting both his hair and face hair to grow out and stopped caring for what he wore and his general hygiene.

Personality
Kade is the definition of an introvert. Although he can put on a kind customer service face when he wants to, work and social situations are draining to him. The few things that can recharge him seem to be playing video games and spending time with Zaida. Kade tends to be inconsiderate of other people's feelings until after he hurts them then scrambles trying to fix the situation, as seen when he makes Zaida uncomfortable for being too trusting of him, then buys pizza to make it up to her. When it comes to Zaida, Kade is extremely comfortable until he realizes that he's being too comfortable with her and ends up making himself feel uneasy. This may be connected to him not wanting to develop feelings for Zaida.

History
Sometime prior to the start of the series, Kade and his girlfriend broke up, although the circumstances are unknown. Kade went on to date multiple girls over a short period of time before finally dating a childhood friend named Ellie, until she broke up with him too.
