Personality

Kagetsu is bright, energetic, and friendly. Though some people perceive his affability to be ingenuine at times, he is honest with his feelings and does his utmost to be a fair person. He loves to battle against powerful opponents both on and off the battlefield, desiring to challenge Diamant and Timerra in friendly competitions. Since his mother was a shrine maiden, Kagetsu has the ability to predict the future, though his predictions are often trivial, such as being able to foresee upcoming weather. He loves onigiri the most out of all soldiers in the army.
