Kagero: Honorable Ninja

A ninja of Hoshido who is ready to lay down her life for her liege. One of Ryoma's retainers. Kagero hails from a noble Hoshidan family with a long tradition of serving the royal household. Though her older brother was initially meant to inherit the family's duty as a royal retainer, his illness rendered him unable to serve. In his place, Kagero stepped forward, determined to uphold their legacy. She first served as Queen Mikoto's retainer before being reassigned to Crown Prince Ryoma, a role she has honored with unwavering loyalty ever since. Kagero's devotion to Ryoma is absolute—she is willing to sacrifice her life without hesitation to ensure his safety. While deeply dedicated to her duties, she maintains a balanced view of service. In contrast to her fellow retainer Saizo, who demands total self-sacrifice from others, Kagero cautions against instilling such extreme ideals in new recruits, advocating for strength without unnecessary fatalism. Though she and Saizo once shared a romantic relationship, they ultimately chose to end it in favor of fulfilling their responsibilities. Known for her calm and composed demeanor, Kagero handles even difficult situations with steady poise. She is tactful in speech, carefully measured in her responses, and emotionally self-controlled—qualities that serve her well as a high-ranking ninja and protector. Her interactions with Takumi, for example, showcase her ability to deliver candid advice without offense, reflecting her quiet confidence and perceptiveness. Beneath her stoic exterior lies a thoughtful and creative individual. Kagero enjoys painting in her spare time, though her work is often abstract, eerie, or unsettling to others. Despite her unconventional style, she remains proud of her art and finds joy in it. Her passion for painting is closely tied to her long-standing friendship with Orochi, who genuinely appreciates her artistic expression. Other characters, such as Odin, are inspired by her work, while Hinata—though initially unnerved—admits to finding it oddly appealing. Though reserved, Kagero forms sincere connections with those around her, revealing a warm and receptive side to her personality. Kagero is said to be the best diary-keeper in the army.
