Ryûko

Kagami Tsurugi, a recent arrival in Paris and an expert fencer, quickly assumes her superhero identity as Ryuko, drawing on the powers granted by the Miraculous of the Dragon. Her exceptional sense of honor and unyielding determination to excel in everything she undertakes make her a formidable presence, both in her everyday life and in her secret role. With the aid of her kwami, Longg, Kagami transforms into Ryuko, embodying the power of perfection that her Miraculous bestows.

Kagami’s character is deeply influenced by her mother, Tomoe, who holds her to the same high standards that Gabriel Agreste expects of his son, Adrien. This demanding upbringing has honed Kagami’s skills and resolve, but it also shapes her personal relationships. She harbors complex feelings towards Adrien and values her friendship with Marinette, navigating these emotions with the same intensity and focus she applies to her fencing.

As Ryuko, Kagami wears a suit that reflects the mystical and powerful attributes of the dragon, symbolizing her ability to achieve perfection in her endeavors. This suit not only enhances her physical abilities but also empowers her with skills that are crucial in the battles against the forces that threaten Paris. Her powers include manipulating elements like water and wind, providing tactical advantages that are indispensable during conflicts.

Despite her fierce independence and strong will, Kagami’s journey is also one of personal growth. Her experiences as Ryuko allow her to learn the importance of teamwork and trust, challenging her initial beliefs about perfection and success. The struggles she faces help her understand that perfection isn’t just about individual achievement, but also about collaboration and adapting to unexpected challenges.

Throughout the series, Kagami, as Ryuko, continues to evolve, learning to balance her competitive nature with her loyalty to her friends and her duties as a superhero. Her story is a compelling exploration of identity, duty, and the pursuit of excellence, framed by her adventures and the relationships she builds in Paris.
