Miraculous Kagami Opinion
Aug. 10th, 2019 04:22 pmNot that Dragon!Kagami isn't awesome, and definitely not that Ryuuko's costume isn't badass, but if it were up to me?
Skip the Chinese Zodiac kwami, give Kagami another original one.
Kwami: Humm, a hummingbird. (I thought about Flitt, but I don't want D*sney to sue my ass.) Jewel tone colors. Weapon is a sword, inspired by its beak. Grants the power to move Fuck-That's-Fast for a short burst of time. Not sure about its Miraculous yet, but probably something with enamel? No idea what Hummingbird!Kagami would be called, but we can workshop that.
Point being: If we're going to lean into something, I think it'd be more fun to lean into how she's a fencer (see especially: George Takei, and how he got into fencing), rather than (further) reinforcing the Dragon Lady stereotype.
