Spade

One of the nicknames given to the job of mortarman in the U.S. military, in reference to the fact that mortarmen are not necessarily on the direct front lines. It is under the belief that a mortar team sits in the "rear" waiting for a fire mission to send rounds down range, while playing the card game "spades", a game that can be very long, and easy to pick up if interrupted.

Spade

Spade is a very nice and understanding person who would always have your back, she has a hobby of figuring out why everyone is like the way they are. She always wears a smile, even if her friends all suddenly died. From the outside, she will look like a clueless individual minding her own business, but that's just a mask, she secretly writes down everything in her brain. Unless she trusts you she will not tell you what she's up to.

Spade's been real quite since the beginning of this.
