why kagami as a character is important
it’s so weird, the only talk I ever hear about Kagami is about shipping and whether or not the one line she said to Marinette in Frozer is classified as Mean
BUT! no one ever talks about Kagami’s actual canon character, like no one brings up about the pressure she feels about being the best! or that it’s canon that she grew up in a controlling family environment!! and!! “There’s no such thing as a second chance in my family” BRUH!!! Or that she came from a prestigious family line of fencers!! Or THAT SCENE IN RIPOSTE WHERE her self esteem is crushed and she almost cries bc she thinks she failed her mother and thought she wasn’t good enough to join the fencing academy! No one talks about how her family has given her a very detrimental mindset
And, (season 3 sypnosis SPOILERS), there’s even gonna be an episode where her Kagami’s mom is akumatized because she wants to punish her, B R U H
For a show that usually gives 0 deep real canon backstory for most of its side characters, I was genuinely impressed that they gave Kagami one!
Family and academic pressure is something a lot of kids could relate to and would like to see a story of. It would be a very meaningful story for kids who are pressured by their families to be the top at everything or come from backgrounds where they are not allowed to fail.
If I could expect good writing from Miraculous Ladybug (which I don’t), I would expect Kagami will grow and learn that she doesn’t have to impress anyone or be the best, and does things like fencing out of her own enjoyment. She would develop healthy relationships with other people who would like her no matter her achievements, and therefore live a happier and more relaxed life. That would be amazing character growth in a show for kids to see!
Also, I shit you not, if they gave this exact backstory to Luka, (like if he was pressured to win at some guitar competition and felt upset about not winning) everyone in the fandom would not shut up about “OH MY poor baby 😔😔😔 he is under SO MUCH stress!!!! 😭😭😢 Luka Protection Squad 😤😤✊“
Hell, people still talk about Luka way more than Kagami even though currently, he is given no real character besides “Pretty Boy Love Interest Who Plays Guitar”. We have already been given so much info about the dynamic Kagami has with her controlling mother and her mom hasn’t been on screen but no one has discussed this!!! meanwhile!! we know practically nothing about Luka’s sibling relationship with Juleka!!!
Anyways please acknowledge that Kagami is a potentially valuable concept for a character, especially for any young kids watching the show, and protect this girl from her family’s high expectations thank you
