"If you think true strength only comes from power, and not with sufficient wisdom and belief in one's self, then you're sadly mistaken."
—Kagami
Name: Kagami Kusarigano
Kanji: 鎖日野 鏡
Romaji: Kusarigano Kagami
Etymology:
Kagami - the Japanese term for "mirror". This highly reflects her change of persona, and her beyblade Andromeda's ability to imitate the moves of its opponent. She's somehow acts like the "copying shadow" of the characters from the series.
Kusarigano - her surname. It is a joint name between the Japanese term "kusari" (鎖, lit. chain)—that can relate to the specific feature of Andromeda's beast, which can be increased in number when Kagami did her key move—the "Chains from the Underworld", and "gano" (日野, lit. day field), which connects to her fondness of staying in the grass in the morning.
Her name overall means "mirror's chain day field".

Main Bit-beast:
Andromeda
In Greek mythology, Andromeda is the daughter of Cassiopeia and King Cepheus. One day, Cassiopeia boasted both her and her daughter's beauty to the Nereids, Poseidon sent the sea monster Cetus to ravish Andromeda as divine punishment.
Andromeda's bit-beast takes the form of a lady with chains. Its chains can bring danger once it attacks.
Special Move/s:
Chains of the Underworld - Kagami's primary move on all beys. Andromeda will trap its opponent through a chain-like illusion, and as soon as the bey's shadow keeps multiplying, it means that it holds a stronger bey captive. This happened during her battle with Gingka and his Storm Pegasus in Metal Fusion, but failed to complete her move.

Overview:
A strategic, yet blunt girl. Not much is known about Kagami. Neither her birthplace, nor her past. Perhaps she does not want to talk about those, but there's something wrong with her. Don't get tempted for her intelligence and motivations—they might only say to you that she's trying to say those in purpose. She may wear that old mask of mystery, but someday, a person will release her from it.
Personality:
At first sight, Kagami may be the type of a mysterious girl you see in town. It's true that she has a lot of mysteries, but that does not mean she sounds too...creepy at all. If Kagami wants to talk with a person more, it means she is interested at knowing them, however, she doesn't do that always. She may be friendly, but at some time she can be rude. Kagami tends to give motivations to others only if necessary. Kagami speaks in a deadpanned tone often. Hearing her sound in different expressions might tell you that she's also human.
Kagami is a tsundere, in general. She is a hostile person, and tends to badmouth the person she's talking to. She even tends to call someone a "dummy". However, there are times that she can be a kuudere. She is blunt, and has brutal honesty, as if she's stabbing someone with a knife badly. Kagami can be quiet and emotionless at times, but chances are even if she acts like either a tsundere or a kuudere, she'll still show her friendlier side. She might even open up to the people she trusts.
A clever person, Kagami knows what to do each time she's in trouble. She does not fear what will happen to her. Her chains may not be functional for self-defense, but it can help her in order to escape from people with evil intentions. She still shows it in beybattles as well. Kagami analyzes her opponent's attacks before going into the next step. After a long analysis, she might create a trap to hold her opponent captive, or may be distractions in order for the person to be tricked of her plan.
Kagami is a smart person as well. She knows technology that often. She may have sufficient knowledge for beyblades, she also knows everything about machines, and is skilled at hacking. She is also interested at learning new things, believing it might make her a person that is knowledgeable about anything.
Over time, she becomes more confident and mature unlike before. When she was young, she tends to be quiet all the time, and never speaks to elders, especially people about her age at all, making her the "mute" of the bunch. As soon as she encounters people, she continues to grow more as a person, and learned that it is not okay to be distant from society at all, and that it will not help her to succeed. Thus, she started to interact with other people in order to improve her social skills.
Appearance:
Kagami is of slightly tall height. She appears to have a slim built. She as well possesses pale porcelain skin, brown eyes, and light blonde hair. Dark blue streaks in front of her hair that hides both of her ears were later added from Metal Fury until now. She stands at 4'5" in the three seasons. In Shogun Steel, she later developed average-sized bust and hips, a slightly small waist, and a drastic growth (currently at 5'3").
Her distinguishing accesory is a necklace with a shiny red orb.

Metal Fusion
In Metal Fusion, her hair is kept in a high ponytail with a lilac hairband that has a rose clip pinned on the right, and a headband of the same color.

Kagami wears a dress and a pair of fingerless gloves that go up to his forearms in lilac color that have white trims. She has a belt in her waist that has a large round buckle. It has one of its buttons connected to a small bag, which contains her substitute beyblade---which happened to be the Thermal Chrysaor SW145ES she got from her brother when he disappeared. Kagami as well happened to wear royal blue shorts with slant turquoise trims. She wears grey stockings, and pastel blue boots that are below her knees. Kagami seems to keep her actual bey, Necromancer Andromeda, in a brown leather storage bag on her right thigh.
Metal Masters
In Metal Masters, Kagami's hair becomes longer, and is now kept in twin tails. She now wears a short-sleeved blue hoodie with a lilac hood and end trims. Kagami now also equips a jet black shirt, a pair of dark teal shorts, and the same belt from Metal Fusion, except that its buckle is a bit larger. She now wears chains around her waist with a red gem at its end. She now wears grey stockings, and pastel blue boots that go up above her knees. Kagami has a blue green ribbon in her left knee.
The small bag connected from the belt doesn't contain Thermal Chyrsaor, but Calamity Andromeda instead.
Metal Fury
Kagami has her hair shorter than that from both Metal Fusion and Metal Masters. However, it is now kept in a right-side ponytail. She currently has dark grey and white gloves, jet black ruffled shirt, and dark blue pants that reaches below her knees. Her brown boots is approximately 5-inches far from her pants. Kagami now wears a dark violet hoodie with lilac hood and end trims---with its sleeves reaching below the forearms, as well as pullovers with grey ends. She as well keeps her usual belt from the previous two seasons, and chains with red gem ends that now acts as her "possible" self-defense.
Shogun Steel-current
The length of Kagami's hair is a bit longer than that from Metal Fury. She still keeps her dark blue streaks on both sides. However, most of her hair now hides both of her ears. The red orb in her necklace that she wears in the season is somehow different---it is now circular in shape, and has two additional orbs of the same color attached on both sides. She now wears a black hoodie that makes the size of her average-sized chest less obvious with violet hood, and end trims, as well as a pair of black fingerless gloves. Her belt is almost the same, with the exception of her belt buckle. The belt buckle is even larger and slimmer than before, and has an additional oval buckle connected to it—similar to that from Metal Masters. Kagami finally wears her storage bag in her left knee, where she currently keeps her substitute bey, Poison Chyrsaor. She wears dark blue pants, and burgundy leather boots.
It is also the first time Kagami did not have her chains wrapped on her waist or attached to her belt. There is no clear answer why she doesn't have it anymore, but chances are that she may have hid it somewhere.
Relationships:
Madoka Amano
Madoka and Kagami had contacted one another few times, especially during the Nemesis crisis. After the series of events in Shogun Steel, Kagami was being asked by Madoka to become her assistant in the B-Pit, since she is not able to do the job all by herself often. After Kagami gave Madoka a demonstration of her mechanic skills, she has also gained the right to use technology to repair a beyblade. But, there's only one good benefit why Madoka recruited Kagami to be her assistant. There are times Madoka gives Kagami a caramel macchiato coffee at the end of the day—which happened to be her favorite beverage.
Gingka Hagane (FractitiousShipping (?))
At first, Kagami knew of Gingka as a "stranger". She met him thrice—one being when he saw her sitting on a grassy ground on Koma Village, but ended up running away from him after being seen, the second is when she fought other people from Dark Nebula by herself, and provided him the clue where to find Ryuga, and another being when Madoka asked her about her guess where the people that are about to revive the "God of Destruction", Nemesis are located. She only knows his name when he is further recognized by the whole globe.
Though there are possibilities that he is one of the reasons why she pursued on her beyblading career. They battled with each other once. But if you try to make them interact with one another, Kagami will act like a tsundere and can call Gingka a "big dummy". Chances are they might argue like a cat and a dog, but Kagami will be the first one to tell him that something is just a misunderstanding at the end of the day.
She is the one who gave him the nickname "Gingerhead" from the time she met him for the second time. It is his auburn hair that somehow reminded her of a "red ginger", a plant that can only be found in few countries like Hawaii and Malaysia, however, she doesn't know where the red ginger she found when she was a child came from.
Facts:
- She tends to blush when she tells a lie. It will turn redder if she denies that she's lying.
- She tends to blush when she tells a lie. It will turn redder if she denies that she's lying.
- She keeps Chyrsaor because she believes that it will be a perfect substitute for Andromeda. She claims that she will only use it if ever she does not take her battle with an opponent she finds "boring" too seriously.
- Necromancer Andromeda, the beyblade she wielded on Metal Fusion, has an unknown origin, although it is said that it is being sealed away because it does not accept anyone to be its wielder before it went into her hands. Her beys from Metal Masters and Metal Fury were actual inventions of her grandfather after they've evacuated from their home when it was destroyed. Thus, Spiegel Andromeda is her only invented bey so far.
- It is possible that Kagami has a connection with Gingka regarding their beys. Andromeda and Pegasus are both astronomical signs that are in the autumn season. However, her brother and him may have a possible connection as well, since both their beys, Chyrsaor and Pegasus, are based after both characters from the Greek mythology, and that they were siblings. Pegasus, however, was just a late addition to the Andromeda myth.
- Kagami and Gingka's relationship was somehow similar to that of Osana Najimi and Senpai's from a debug game called "Yandere Simulator".
- She has an AI companion named "ARICMOS". ARICMOS stands for "Artificial Resource and Co-teller of Mobile Overspecialization System". The AI robot is capable of doing data analysis for beyblades and, also requires to identify the person who had asked to repair their bey. It can communicate to Kagami in a normal way if she doesn't have much work to do. ARICMOS resides in a sphere hidden in the basement of B-Pit. ARICMOS is about the size of a computer speaker. Its voice happened to be a female.
- Kagami is somehow monophobic, but it is not shown. This is probably the reason why she needs ARICMOS beside her after the death of his grandfather and being recruited by Madoka for unknown reasons.
- She shares the same voice actress in both English and Japanese with Saber from Fate/stay night. (Kari Wahlgren started voicing the character on the English dub of Fate/zero.)

Hey VanillaRinChii!
I just finished reading this biography and want to say a few words about it.
First is: I really like that your character is a Beyblade-mechanic and assisted of Madoka, that is really cool.
That she has two Beyblade is also something that I never before in an Beyblade OC.
It is not clear in the description, but I pictured that -before a fight - she analyzed her opponent and then choose the Beyblade that she things is the best for the game. That would be amazingly creative and would fit to the way you described her personality.
The next thing I like is that you changed her appearance for every season of the anime. I really like when you - as the audience- can see the character grow. I really like how she goes from innocent and cute to more mature and confident -and how her poses, clothes and colors reflect that grow.
(I like the Metal Fury outfit the most. These black strands in the hair look very cool! And the clothing look both unique and comfortable.)
The likes and dislikes are a bit short and general, but I found her dislike of shallots very funny and understandable. Little details like this are the things that make a character human.
The last thing I really like is the theme of chains and being chained. The exploration of this theme could be the beginning for some amazing and emotional stories!
I would like to know much more about her, since the information about such things as relationships and story is quite short. I hope you add more information soon.
Also I do not understand why you included the information that she is alive and that she is a human? I cannot remember that there were any ghosts or non-human characters in the Beyblade series.
That is everything, sorry for such a long feedback. I hope you understood my points of concern and my English.
Keep going with this OC, it would be very cool to see what you do with it - and have a nice day,
Antaie
