#fe kagetsu

Despite not being from Elusia or being raised with their values, he's the character that embodies their virtue of knowledge in its purest form. Kagetsu has the ambition to learn, the awareness of his own ignorance, and humility to understand all perspectives

Growing up in the isolated Pale Sands, Kagetsu understood that there was an entire world he knew nothing about. The reason he travels is purely because of his desire to learn. He didn't want to stay home and continue being ignorant about everything outside their borders

This contrasts a lot of Elusia that values knowledge as something to hoard. Their political court functions based on how many secrets you can scope out without revealing your own. Characters like Hyacinth meet their end because they falsely assumed they had all the facts and missed obvious red flags. There are implications that a lot of people simply take the information fed to them at face value and learn not to question it. Ivy and Mauvier had to silently defy this standard

Kagetsu is naturally curious about things. He actively seeks new people and perspectives different from his own. He shares his own experiences so everyone can broaden their horizons and learn something new together. Every new discovery is something to be cherished and he correctly states that there's always something new for him every day

While Elusia views knowledge as something to be controlled, Kagetsu views knowledge for what it is. A natural part of living
