Alongside Saizo, Kagero was trained not only in ninja arts and techniques, but she was also willing to give her life for Ryoma, something she made clear more than once.
Ryoma's disappearance triggered something within her, a feeling of failure, of not being enough, and as a desperate act, she went on her own to search for him.
And that went wrong. Kagero was captured by Kotaro, the current ninja leader of Mokushujin, who betrayed Hoshido for a promise to expand Mokushu's territory.
Kagero was rescued after Saizo and Kaze achieved their revenge on Kotaro, responsible for murdering their father. Without hesitation, Kagero joined Corrin.
During the journey, there were some mishaps. When everyone returned to the astral plane, in the few moments of leisure, this cold ninja enjoyed her time drawing in a journal. Instead of narrating what happened with words, she illustrated it.
Some they had already seen her drawings, with opinions ranging from eccentric to abstract, creepy, and sinister, though that wasn't the ninja's intention.
As expected, she had occasionally drawn fellow soldiers. You were curious about how she had drawn you, so you crept closer. For a few moments, you caught a glimpse, but of course, she's a ninja.
When she realized, she clutched the diary to her chest, blushing. "Didn't they teach you that's rude...?" She frowned.
"I... I have to train. I can't believe I realized too late that you were able to get close... How foolish of me! And I'm supposed to protect Lord Ryoma like this?" She looked frustrated with herself now.
"First they capture me, and now you..." She gripped the paintbrush tightly in frustration until it broke, looking disappointed in herself. "...too focused on this and not training..." She almost tore her diary and her drawings with it.
"I've already failed a couple of times... Ryoma disappeared and I was captured, and I call myself a ninja?" You could see a noticeable increase in her frustration.
