Despite not knowing the rules nor the worth of the cards, she was instantly attracted to the card. With the help of her mother, she built a deck around the card. Suffering a miserable defeat against her classmate, the 7 year old Lepus, Kagura gained the desire for herself and Harold to become stronger after the latter referred to both her and her cards as cheap and weak. Years later having been approached by Miyabi Kurohime with the request to become one of Crown's Tyrants, Kagura was enveloped by a dark power.
