42. What does your character want most? What do they need really badly, compulsively? What are they willing to do, to sacrifice, to obtain?

@konohagakure-hero

kagura truely just wants to live his life without slander ; without others dirtying his character because then ? he can be free & forgive himself for the blood he’s spilt. – for things he’s wanted badly or he’s obsessed over , would be for him to see kagemasa on a bigger ; wider screen. he’s only ever seen pieces of it while walking past the theater in his hometown and to witness in its entire action , especially the sequel would be the best. it’s the smaller gratifications he yearns in having , because he isn’t much privileged. kagura will clean out his pockets for the opportunity. boruto’s reminded him that he needs to enjoy his life , so splurging a LITTLE can’t hurt.

SARADA ~

"—-“

He had been half-right, at least in her eyes. Boruto and the rest of their class only met him recently. She knew not of his story, or what pained his heart—- but it didn’t change the fact that he wasn’t alone, not anymore. She takes a moment to glance at the unconscious blond & his injuries. ( What sort of trouble did Boruto get himself into, now? )

"Even if Boruto met you a few days ago, does that not make his feelings valid? He thinks of you as his friend—-” She meets the swordsman’s eyes. “We all do.”

It was one of the few times she felt similarly to her knuckleheaded classmate. Her classmates all looked up to the swordsman, especially Boruto. While she knew it wasn’t her place to pry on his past, she still cared about Kagura. ( So did many others. )

"Kagura-san, where are you going?“ Hand instinctively moves to reach into her holster. It was her priority to treat Boruto’s wounds, but she needed to know why Kagura acted this way. "Does Chojuro-san know what you’re doing?”

❛ for how long ? until i claim another innocent’s life ? --- these guys , they include me. they’ve seen what i’ve seen and you call them savages. ... boruto -- he wouldn’t desire a friend like me. i’m dangerous ....we , are dangerous. ❜ conviction surplus in his eyes , he warns with a desperation for her to take him & leave. this was his end of the road , not theirs. that light in the haze of a filthy circumstance wasn’t there. not even a person waiting to squeeze. happiness only ever lasted temporarily until it was STOLEN right from beneath you.

sarada’s speaking was impractical. if people were treated equal then yes , the validity of friends wouldn’t trip ; but she lived in a bubble. every one of those kids did. -- pampered & praised ? they had it all. nothing of theirs could compare to his. far as family , the seven swordsmen had felt that pain.

a sigh murmurs as he strains himself to reach the disappointment he must have caused. hiramekarei was ruined. ❛ chojuro-sama's efforts were valiant , but they weren’t enough. you can’t change fate & i’m not FIT to fight along the side of good ! ❜ & evil didn’t couldn’t from good. -- another precaution , he glimpses at her hands bordering her pouch.

❛ this is ---- my only choice , sarada. don’t try & be the hero. ❜

35. Do they always rationalize errors? How do they accept disasters and failures ?

errors are a thing of what tears down kagura’s spirit the most. he doesn’t want to make any wrong moves or mess up what would embarrass him or the higher ups , & it’s a larger burden that his history is something chojuro has consistently defended him on. – kagura does a little extra in exchange for the mizukage’s kindness but he’s afraid it doesn’t match up to the dip chojuro takes in his reputation for hiring him. once he fails or a disaster occurs, a cloud is over his head & he sulks in it. he’s the type that needs a TON of support ( aside from his attempts to portray that he’s okay ) or encouragement to pick himself back up again.

21. What are your character’s manners like? What is their type of hero? Whom do they hate ?

kagura’s poise & courteousness didn’t come naturally. instead they were taught ; refined and enhanced for the job he has now as the mizukage’s assistance. slapped on the hand if he reached for food on the table before permitted , or not sitting upright , kagura went through a lot of trial and error to be the GENTLEMAN he is today. & it’s let him prosper among the officials , mei and chojuro. – his polished self does slip at times if he’s relaxing with his friends. able to slouch or laugh as hard as he wants , it’s a nice change of pace from all the tediousness to be an upstanding face.

their type of hero is one that’s JUST AND CIVIL ; honorable & looks at threats with no fear in their hearts , yet accepts that sacrifices are inevitable to make. — it’s difficult for kagura to hate anyone other than himself. besides the ugly words that spew from criticizing mouths , he can’t so much but be aggravated & discouraged.

45. Is your character pragmatic ? Think first ? Responsible ? All action ? A visionary ? Passionate ? Quixotic ?

kagura knows he has a full , written list of instructions to channel through during the day. given responsibilities not many teenagers his age has had & up close and personal with the current & former mizukage , has dressed him with the rule, ‘ to think before you act ‘. and to save face in front of his superiors ? there isn’t much room to get lazy and stray from his priorities. –– now kagura does take intiative but mainly for favor of chojuro ; anyone else with the same or alike ranking , he is shy with or sees himself unable to live up to their expectations. he has extreme doubt but he continues to try and fight against limiting himself to the redundant tasks he’s comfortable doing.

47. Do they want to project an image of a younger, older, more important person? Does they want to be visible or invisible?

honestly it’s a mixture of both depending on the day. invisible if he wants to run away from the torture of what his grandfather yagura bestowed on him & visible , because kagura is tired of not being considered unique ; apart from his grandad. the way he feels is all based on the interactions / encounters he’s had. it’s not so much that he’s trying to be like somebody or emit another persona , but security in himself , ultimately is what he seeks to project.

@shadowkage

with not many books he could afford and his in & out of schooling , kagura is more of a street smart individual – raising awareness to safety and being mindful of the environment he’s in. the alleys are a breeding ground for mugging and thug related activity , whereas daylight & in the eye of the public’s view is a better route to take home. the young karatachi knows the tricks of the trade , the behaviors of the city folk that market their concession stands , who’s losing out on business and where the small holes in the wall are. kagura would say he’s an “average” student. not too brilliant & not absolutely dense , unless talk of swords / battle cues are in order – but he is keen to acknowledge his senses if the air ever feels off.

#◑┆▏they have questions ; and they’re all staring at me ( memes. )#CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT YA’LL !!

kagura as a boy was that child that would catch a temper tantrum and wreck shit -- breaking things, throwing valuables , ripping up furniture. he once killed a neighbor’s pet by strangling it. his tantrums were so gruesome to the point that the adults had to restrain him physically & mentally with a calming genjutsu. --- none of these bouts are to kagura’s memory however , but it scares him some with how angry he can become , what it can ensue & if he’ll lose himself in his rage.

#◑┆▏forging my destiny from woes so bleak ; it is not a game ( HEADCANON. )#I ALSO ICONED THIS SCENE #AND I NEED MORE OF THIS #RABID KAGURA FTW #none of this nice bs #let's say when in rage #he blacksout

the practice of fencing with rapier-style swords , is an exercise kagura religiously partakes in with some of chojuro’s elite staff -- on a nightly basis , to keep equipped with speed , accuracy and intuition. a dummy was also built by kagura’s request ( in chojuro’s training quarters ) as opposed to weekly payment & drills are an activity he never likes to miss. it’s part of why the young karatachi leaves early after having finished with his tour groups for the day & with still enough downtime to spare ? he then practices close range attacks using blades and knives to puncture and stab his decoys.

@uchinaro ~

❛ that’s a lie ! — you weren’t here for me. nobody ever was. you knew nothing about me before your friends sailed to this place & that hasn’t changed. ❜ his tone to slither at an edge acutely bitter , he reacts without a moment’s rest . it wasn’t the plan to raise his vocals at her – such disrespect , but the battle for saving his soul was already forfeited. he resigned it to shizuma. he failed them. all of them & there was no sheltering the wound that widened. a cursed lifetime of falling in the ditches of the shadows. fog thick and no seeing past ; that was his utter sentencing.

no hand could reach in and find him.

❛ can’t you see that i’m alone ? i wasn’t granted the gift of friendship like you were , sarada-chan. i’m just not that lucky. — i’m sorry but i have to go. ❜

#◑┆▏hearing through the mist ( PLAYLIST. )

so like ??? kagura is a pescetarian , although his diet is mainly consistent of fruits , grains & vegetables to keep his energy up. choice of snack is usually something on the healthier side - for example: granola/cereal bars , baby carrots and/or wheat bread. the sweetest thing he has eaten thus far is sugar free yogurt ; thus is why his frame is rather thin.

with that being said , any heavy produce is also subtracted from his food bank including fatty / greasy substances. he prefers not to eat them as he finds it hard to digest.
