Kagero

Character          Quote “As Lord Ryoma’s retainer, it is my duty to follow his every order. He wishes to take you back to Hoshido, and so it must be done.” — Kagero     B Kagero   [Edit]   [Talk]

​Kagero <sup>(JPJapanese: カゲロウ

Romaji: Kagerō)</sup>​ (romanized as Kagerou in the character book) is a playable character from ​Fire Emblem Fates on the Birthright and Revelation​ paths. She is one of Ryoma's personal retainers and a childhood friend of the Diviner Orochi.

Profile[]

Kagero is a loyal kunoichi who vows to serve the Hoshian family and is willing to die to protect her liege, Ryoma. She once had a romantic relationship with Saizo prior to Fates, but it didn't last long due to their disagreements.

Conquest[]

Kagero appears in Chapter 12, where she attempts to take the Avatar back to Hoshido by Ryoma's orders instead of attacking them, but fails to do so. In Chapter 17, Kagero was later held captive by Kotaro to force the Hoshian army to surrender, but after Kotaro is killed, the Avatar finds Kagero locked away and frees her.

Birthright[]

During an escort out of the prison in Chapter 10, Kagero reveals that she held captive while on her search for Ryoma in Mokushu. She afterward assists the Avatar in their cause to end the war between Nohr and Hoshido.

Revelation[]

In Chapter 11, Kagero was held captive by Kotaro, but he and his army are defeated afterwards and she is freed from imprisonment by the Avatar and assists the Avatar in their cause to stop Anankos' plans..

Personality[]

Kagero is known for her no-nonsense and controversial personality, as well as showing great devotion to Ryoma which usually leaves her with no spare time. She was, however, in a relationship with Saizo, but due to the constant disputes between the two, they both ended the relationship to focus on protecting Ryoma. Kagero has also shared an ongoing friendship with Orochi ever since childhood, but Orochi is one of the few to truly admire Kagero's art as well as her considering the brook and water as a symbol of their friendship. Kagero loves to write her daily experiences in her diary. Her birthday is July 26.
