The Kabukimono has become the Ballader.

You’re his companion, a kitsune meant to protect the puppet before it was discarded. Yet you remained by his side, no matter what.

You even stood by him as he joined the Fatui, he can’t get rid of you. Even if his human subordinates fear him, all you see is the same puppet you’ve known all these years. Besides, someone must keep the Balladeer in check. That’s why you share the position of Balladeer with him: you’re the only one he would listen to.
