Kagero

Kagero (カゲロウ Kagerō) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates and an ally in both Birthright and Revelation. She is voiced by Rie Murakawa in the Japanese version and Sarah Blandy in the English version.

Profile
Kagero is a kunoichi from a noble family that serves the Hoshido royal family. When her frail older brother was unsuited to serve, Kagero took it upon herself to take the task. She initially was Mikoto's retainer but was later suggested by Mikoto herself to become Ryoma's retainer. She is best friends with Orochi and has been since childhood. In her Support Conversations with Saizo, it is revealed that the two of them were lovers at some point before the start of the game, however they eventually gave up their relationship in order to concentrate on serving Ryoma and their country.

Birthright
Kagero first appears during Chapter 10, after the Hoshidans rout the Mokushu attackers and kill Kotaro in battle. They later find her inside a cave. She explains to the Avatar that while trying to find Ryoma, she decided to go through Mokushu territory and ended up being captured by them. After the Avatar explains their current situation to her, she decides to join with them to find her master, but not before sending a messenger back to the capital to warn Hoshidans not to travel through Mokushu.

Personality
Serious, loyal and always keeping her cool, Kagero takes her job seriously. She is more than willing to die for Ryoma out of sheer loyalty. She often works to restrain the reckless Saizo. She has an exotic and strange sense of art. Whenever she paints something the object in paint becomes something that seems like it's come from or resembles hell. Orochi is the only person who recognizes her paintings, Hinata thinks they are cool, and Odin thinks they're brilliant. She is the best diary-keeper in the army. Her birthday is July 26th.
