[[caption-width-right:267:[[LaResistance Rebellious Streak]]]]

* LegacyCharacter: The heads of his family all inherit the mantle name Saizo, him being the fifth of his line.

* RedOniBlueOni: Kaze is the blue to his red, with Kagero as their mediator. Their epitaphs allude to this as the Easygoing, Angry, and Traditional Ninjas respectively.

* StealthHiBye: Comes with being a ninja. He pulls this on Charlotte in their A and B-Supports, going as far as managing to taste the soup she was making ''before she can even blink''.

* TheSleepless: States during the the "Ghostly Gold" DLC that a night without sleep is nothing to him, even implying he's gone as long as ''five whole days'' without sleeping.
* {{Tsundere}}: A Type A; he's serious and impulsive but if someone says the right words, he can get ''very'' flustered and/or emotional.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: While she's certainly a competent retainer, her [[GiftedlyBad warped]] [[NightmareFuel aesthetics]] bleed down into just about everything she does, with a sense of foreboding gloom being infused in the images she paints, the arrangements she puts flowers in and even the ''food she cooks and tea she brews''.
* BattleCouple: Can marry the Male Corrin, Jakob, Silas, and any of the Hoshido males (except Yukimura and Izana), as well as the Nohr characters Odin and Arthur in ''Revelation''.
* BlueOni: Relatively to Saizo's red in every route. But she's really more of a [[TheHeart mediator]] [[NiceMeanAndInbetween between]] Kaze's Blue and Saizo's Red. Their epitaphs allude to this as the Easygoing (Kaze), Angry (Saizo), and Traditional (Kagero) Ninjas.
* BodyGuardCrush: With either a Male Corrin or Ryoma should she reach S support with either of them.
* BrutalHonesty: In her supports with Takumi, after suggesting that Takumi meditate under the waterfall, she mentions that Ryoma didn't question or complain about her suggestion. She later apologizes, but Takumi doesn't hold it against her, saying he appreciates her honesty.
* CripplingOverspecialization: There are two stats that Kagero has extremely good growth at: Strength and Speed. This makes her an extreme GlassCannon, as her other stats, especially defensive stats, are less than impressive.
** She also has this problem in ''Heroes''. Her poison dagger is deadly against infantry but it really suffers when facing anything else since the weapon has low might and doesn't inflict its massive debuff against non-infantry units.

* DistressBall: [[spoiler:In every route she is caught by Kotaro of Mokushu. In ''Birthright'' she gets rescued after the group kills Kotaro and she joins that chapter; in ''Conquest'', she's rescued by Corrin and Saizo but later is seen as an enemy; and in ''Revelation'', once she's rescued she, Reina, Orochi ''and'' Saizo join the group.]]
* {{Foil}}: With Peri. Both are the female retainers of their kingdom's crown prince, come from distinguished lineages (Peri's family is nobility while Kagero's has a history of service to the royalty). Both are actually rather attractive brawlers (Kagero being MsFanservice in her ninja outfit while Peri's a HiddenBuxom under the armor), they can kill on a moment's notice if ordered, they style their hair over one eye and they have their own touches of madness in them. However, one is an armored horseback-rider who revels in fighting up-front and has a very impulsive childlike personality, while the other's a stealth-oriented ninja who is largely calm, composed and does nothing without orders. Their biggest difference is how the warped parts of their minds express themselves - Kagero's is her abstract sense of aesthetics, while Peri's is murderous psychotic rage.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: She and Orochi are very close friends.

* NightmareFuel: In-universe, her artistic endeavors inevitably come across as ominous and frightening to others.

* NotSoAboveItAll: In her supports with Odin, she genuinely seems to believe that Odin's magic can bring her "silkwyrm" painting to life, going as far as collecting [[EyeOfNewt a bunch of random ingredients]] for him so that he can perform the ritual. Likewise, in Setsuna's supports, she shares her partner Saizo's frustrations at trying to teach the former how to be a proactively-competent retainer.

* StealthHiBye: Comes with being a ninja. She does this a few times with Corrin in their Supports, and Takumi even lampshades it in his own Support with her.
* SternTeacher: Acts as one in contrast to Saizo's DrillSergeantNasty, being strict but never unfair - as shown in her Supports with Setsuna, displaying exasperation but never the bewildered horror her partner does.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: In her supports with Rinkah, she's strong enough to tie in ''sumo wrestling'' with her, despite not looking anywhere near as visibly ripped.

* UndyingLoyalty: To Ryoma, her and Saizo's lord. It can potentially go into SubordinateExcuse, if the player pursues their whole support chain.
* UnexpectedInheritance: In her A Support with Corrin, Kagero reveals the role of royal retainer would have originally gone to her elder brother, but he was born frail and thus unable to perform the duties required of a royal servant. This led to Kagero getting the job in his place for the sake of preserving their family's honor, though her brother felt guilty about his weakness deciding her future for her.

* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Has this in her S-support with Ryoma.

* YamatoNadeshiko: While Kagero doesn't evoke the concept as much as Mikoto does, she has several traits related to it. She's darkhaired, pale, pretty, very dedicated to her work and duty, was raised in a rather traditional environment (to the point she's actually not used to having any luxuries despite serving royalty), and is skillful in traditionally Japanese arts like ''ikebana'' and tea ceremony.

* RedOniBlueOni: To Hinoka, and to Effie in ''Revelation''.

* SiblingTeam: Can be this with Kaze on the ''Birthright'' and ''Revelation'' paths.

* SlapSlapKiss: This is how his relationship with Charlotte plays out if they get married.

* {{Slap Slap Kiss}}: This is how his relationship with Charlotte plays out if they get married.

* HealingHands: His "Gratitude" skill, sort-of.

* NiceGuy: Kaden loves helping and cheering people up with his fluffy tail, and must always return the favor whenever someone is nice to him. However, this also means it can be easy to take advantage of him, as evidenced in Charlotte's supports.

[[quoteright:267:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yukimura17.png]]
[[caption-width-right:267:[[MarionetteMaster Puppet Master]]]]

* DisabledLoveInterest: To many of the First Generation women in Hoshido, Felicia, Mozu, a Female Corrin, Charlotte and Beruka.

* MoralMyopia: Something that's called to attention in her supports with Beruka is that Oboro is ''grievously'' unaware or even uncaring of the harm and ViciousCycle of [[CycleOfRevenge Revenge]] she perpetrates through her bloody involvement in the Hoshidan-Nohrian feud - yet if one asked about it, [[spoiler:she would say the day she lost her parents to bandits is the most traumatic event of her life]]. One notable instance is her supports with Jakob, where she chews him out for how "dishonorable" killing wounded Nohrian soldiers after clean up is - while she does offer a justification in citing it's more cold-blooded than killing in the heat of the moment, it still overlooks how oftentimes murderous she is towards Nohrians in general even when they're not her enemies ([[GameplayAndStoryIntegration to the point her hatred ties into her Personal Skill]]).

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Oboro's beloved parents [[ParentalAbandonment were murdered]] by a Nohrian assassin when she was very young, which she [[HarmfulToMinors only survived by hiding in her parent's cart]]. While lucky enough to be raised by relatives working for the Hoshidan royalty, then easily make her way in the military and the court as Takumi's retainer, [[BreaktheCutie the damage was already done]]]]. Thus, her massive loathing of Nohrians was "born". In ''Birthright'' she can manage to get past it with the help of [[WarriorTherapist Silas]] and, to a lesser degree, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jakob]], as her supports with both Nohrian men have her discussing her past with them. [[spoiler:In ''Conquest'', this comes full circle as she is killed by the Nohrian army, aka the player - one member of which is ironically the surrogate daughter of her parent's killer, though she never learns about it in that route. In ''Revelation'', apart from Silas and Jakob, if Oboro supports with Benny, Niles and/or ''especially'' Beruka (the aforementioned assassin's daughter), she is able to break through the CycleOfRevenge.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite her hatred of Nohrians, she still finds dispatching defenseless enemy wounded abhorrent.

* HiddenDepths: Despite her antipathy for Nohrians in general, she still finds the customary dispatching of the enemy wounded after a battle to be abhorrent, even if they do happen to be Nohrians, as she discusses with Jakob in their Supports. [[spoiler:She later reveals her disgust stems from the idea of killing people who can't fight back - the situation her parents were in when they died - and therefore constitutes murder for her.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In ''Conquest'', she dies protecting Takumi along with Hinata. The players can ''technically'' avoid killing her in combat, but since she and her forces are plugging up the only path to Takumi and immediately pursue upon reaching the roof of the fortress, one would have to go far out of their way to keep her alive.]]

* MoralMyopia: Something that's called to attention in her supports with Beruka is that Oboro is ''grievously'' unaware or even uncaring of the harm and ViciousCycle of [[CycleOfRevenge Revenge]] she perpetrates through her bloody involvement in the Hoshidan-Nohrian feud, yet if you asked her, to her the day she lost her parents to bandits is the most traumatic event of her life. It's especially notable in her supports with Jakob, where she chews him out for how "dishonorable" killing wounded Nohrian soldiers after clean up is, despite how oftentimes murderous she is towards Nohrians in general ([[GameplayAndStoryIntegration to the point her hatred ties into her Personal Skill]]).

* WhatTheHellHero: She is livid when Corrin suggests that her father's sacrifice was not an honorable thing, or at least, that's how she interprets it. [[spoiler:In the A-support, Corrin tells her that Sakura would be devastated if she were to die in her cause, and that she should strive to live for Sakura instead of seeking an honorable death. In the S-support with the male Corrin, he lets Hana know that he would not abide to her dying because he loves her.]]

* TranquilFury: Expresses this in ''Conquest'' upon being confronted by Corrin in Chapter 22. While not explosively upset like Hana, his dialogue makes quite clear that he wants to put them in the ground for causing Sakura pain.

* TranquilFury: Expresses this in ''Conquest'' upon being confronted by Corrin in Chapter 22. While he's not as explosively upset as Hana, his dialogue makes it quite clear that he wants nothing more than to see them dead for causing Sakura pain.

** This applies to their story presence as much as their characters. [[spoiler:Both also have the rebellion they support go really badly in the route opposite the one they can be recruited: In ''Birthright'', Scarlet secures Cheve's freedom under Hoshido and automatically joins Corrin's army - while Garon crushes the Ice Tribe rebellion and forces Flora to betray Corrin regardless of her sisters' and her own wishes; an act that causes her so much shame and grief that she commits suicide. In ''Conquest'', while Flora's Ice Tribe rebellion is stopped by Corrin's army under orders from Garon, Flora's father Kilma and their tribe are spared and the tribe is allowed to stay neutral in the war with Flora becoming an optional recruit - while Scarlet's rebellion is outright crushed and she gets killed by Hans' army after Corrin defeats her. In addition, their fates are inverses on the ''Revelation'' route: Flora survives but is optionally recruitable like in ''Conquest'', while Scarlet always joins in the main story as a temporary ally who quickly gets killed off.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Flora. They're both key figures in their factions' rebellion against Nohr, and both love with a man who's oblivious to their feelings - Jakob for Flora's case, Ryoma for Scarlet's - with the "Spooky Scramble DLC" showing neither ever fully gets over their first loves, even if they marry Corrin.

* {{Foil}}: To Flora. They both take part in a rebellion to free themselves from Nohrian rule, both of them are key figures in their respective rebellions. Both are also in love with a man who does not return their feelings and is completely oblivious to them - Jakob for Flora's case, Ryoma for Scarlet's - with the "Spooky Scramble DLC" showing that neither ever fully gets over their first loves, even if they marry Corrin. [[spoiler:Both of them also have the rebellion they support go really bad for them on the route opposite of the one where they can be recruited: In ''Birthright'', while Scarlet permanently joins the party, Garon crushes the Ice Tribe rebellion and forces Flora to betray Corrin to them regardless of her sisters' and her own wishes; an act that causes her so much shame and grief that she commits suicide. In ''Conquest'', while Flora's Ice Tribe rebellion is still put down by Corrin's army (which was under orders from Garon), she and her father, Kilma, along with their tribespeople, are spared, and Flora herself can eventually be recruited as an optional unit if you meet certain conditions in My Castle, while Scarlet's rebellion is outright crushed and she herself is killed by Hans' army after the player defeats her on the ''Conquest'' side. In addition, their fates are inverses on the ''Revelation'' route: Flora survives but is optionally recruitable, while Scarlet always joins in the main story as a temporary ally who quickly gets killed off.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the third route, she protects Corrin from an Anankos-possessed Gunter, but dies as a result.]]

* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Becomes this in ''Revelation'' assuming Corrin marries her prior to her death.]]

* MightyGlacier: Of the magical variety. Orochi's astronomic magic growth coupled with the fact that most enemies have low resistance means that she'll always be able to dish out heavy damage, but will have a hard time double-attacking without the help of certain scrolls due to her low speed.
