**Kagami Tsurugi** is one of the characters of *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*. As Kagami, she fences and was on of the former love interests of Adrien Agreste. As Ryuko, she is a superhero protector of Paris, fighting alongside Ladybug and the other heroes she recruited.

## Appearance

Kagami is a slender, Japanese teenage girl of average height. She has creamy-pale skin, a lighter dusting of light-brown freckles on her cheeks and the bridge of nose, sharp, slanted moderate vermilion eyes, light scarlet lipstick and thick straight black hair with blue reflections with bangs swept to the left in a face-framing bob that levels with her chin, with dark blue tints. Kagami wears a white long-sleeved blazer with gold pockets that has black outlines around the collar, running all the way to the bottom to the hem. On the top right of her chest is an attached logo that is shaped as a Reuleaux triangle. The logo includes her family's crest, with the gold sign of Japanese kanji for **female** (女) fastened on top of green, white and red fabric with a gold outline surrounding the logo. Underneath, she wears a black collared gold buttoned button-up blouse with a red, white, and blue pleated neck tie. Kagami wears a red skirt and tight black leggings with a pair of red sneakers. On the ring finger of her right hand, she wears a black ring that has her family's crest, (女) and it has two long outward spikes stretching from the mark.

As Ryuko, she wears a dragon-themed red superhero jumpsuit with the image of a black dragon's tail, outlined in yellow, curling from her left leg up to her to her chest. The end of the tail curves around the symbol containing the images that represent the three elements she controls: lightning, air and water. She also has a black collar/turtleneck (where she has her choker), black forearm-length gloves and black legs starting in the middle of her lower legs, both with yellow outlining. On the back of her head, she has four red dragon-like horns with yellow tips with black outlining and, on her back, she has a holder for her sword. On her face, she wears a red mask around her eyes with yellow and black outlining at the base of the sides. Her eyes also become golden with yellow scleras.

## Personality

Kagami is a fierce and thoughtful girl who is dedicated to accomplishing any commitment she makes. Likewise, she can be somewhat reluctant and quite stubborn, willing to go out and take risks regardless of what is at stake for her. However, she learns from her mistakes, knowing there are times she isn't the winner. Kagami is shown to be a bit lonely as she always wanted friends, and she admitted to Ladybug that she doesn't have any. Yet, she was willing to reach out to Marinette in an attempt to be friends with her.

## Relationships

### Tomoe Tsurugi

Kagami treats her mother with great respect and dignity, although she is very limited by her. Tomoe is the reason that Kagami doesn't need friends and entertainment that she doesn't share. In "Ikari Gozen", Tomoe stated that she understands Kagami's desire for friends, but believes the friendship may fail her. Despite this, after upsetting her daughter, Tomoe allows her to see Marinette. In addition to practicing fencing at school, Kagami often practices fencing with her mother, but this does not help them ease the tension in their relationship.

### Adrien Agreste

Kagami first meets Adrien when she tries out for a spot in the fencing club. She fences with him and is distraught when she mistakenly believes that she lost, though she keeps her feelings to herself and even shakes his hand. The two date each other briefly but the relationship gets tense in "Lies" due to Adrien being Cat Noir. In the end, Kagami breaks up with Adrien.

### Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Kagami doesn't know Marinette too well, but when Adrien tells Kagami about her, Kagami says that she hopes to get to know her better. At the end of "Ikari Gozen", Kagami officially becomes Marinette's friend. Marinette is Kagami's best friend. When hearing about their breakup, Marinette immediately tried consoling Kagami in "Mr. Pigeon 72".
