==Personality==
Kageyama has a tendency to come off as being exceptionally polite and full of decorum, however this is just a facade to merely catch people off guard, as when the first chance is given, he drops his polite attitude and attempts to fight whomever he has lured with his niceties. He is also quite condescending, talking down to people about either themselves or things they are a part of, or even about things that he, himself, may or may not dislike. Additionally, he is rather sadistic, going out of his way to attack Natsu with his shadow to demonstrate how one "uses Magic" when Natsu's motion sickness prevented him from utilizing his Dragon Slayer Magic to its fullest extent. Above all, though, he thinks extremely highly of his guild, Eisenwald, and believed in their ability so highly that he thought that even a guild the likes of Fairy Tail couldn't stop their plans.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 12, Pages 4-12 In spite of this all, though, Kageyama is also cowardly, and when faced with danger will betray his guild despite his love for it.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 16, Page 18-19 However, even he has a conscience, and was unable to cast Lullaby's death song when thinking about the words Fairy Tail spoke to him, admitting defeatFairy Tail Manga: Chapter 20, Pages 10-18 and eventually willingly letting himself be arrested.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 22, Page 6
