>She seems to be fairly trim and athletic. You imagine she is fairly active.
>"Well, that's kind of a mouthful," she says. "I live in the bamboo, making my living hunting...pretty much anything that falls into my traps. Uh, my house is on the south side of the forest, it's not much to look at. Really, it's more of a hole in the ground. But I've put in floors and stuff, so it's not dirty at all!"
>The two of you pass by the last of the underbrush and into the Bamboo Forest as she continues.
>"Um, I'm not particularly tough for a youkai, so I have to play it safe and make sure that I don't get on anyone's bad side. It's not like we really have a shrine maiden to help us if someone like the doctor at Eientei decides to get mad at us. Actually, that's kind of a thing a friend of mine has been working on..."

>She is fairly tall, actually.
>"There's a lot more to being tough then just being in shape," Kagerou says, as she pushes through a stand of bamboo. "But yeah, we're putting together kind of an unofficial network for us youkai on the bottom of the ladder. Just a kind of partnership to help each other out with little things, you know?"
