Kage

Kage (Shadow) is the Inner Demon of Igawa Asagi. Kage has access to knowledge that Asagi does not posses like the Aion, Mother Sea, origin of vampires and demonic bloodline of the Taimanin.

She asks Asagi to give in to her power and not be held back by being human. She is very powerful and can enhance Asagi's abilities far beyond normal.

Personality
She acts like the devil on the shoulder of Asagi, telling her to use her power. Thinking herself as above humans she can be quiet merciless.

However, the Kage doesn't spell out most things wanting Asagi to figure out, how the world works on her own. Not interested in forcing its will, on Asagi and seems to want Asagi to be save but can and will leave Asagi should she give up.

Appearance
Kage looks exactly like Asagi with purple skin, black and yellow eyes and claw like finger nails.

In the OVA of TA2 she looks like Asagi but with white hair and a darker look for her outfit.

History
During Asagi's investigation of Tokyo Kingdom Asagi and her sister are captured by Saya of Ryuumon, an organization under the control of a cloned Oboro. The clone reveals that Taimanin have demon ancestry and that the Ryuumon want to use them, to create an army of super soldiers by awakening the demonic self. Like they did with the weapon Saya.

That transformation involves repeated emotional and physical abuse, that of which causes Kage to awaken, within Asagi when she sleeps. Asagi and Kage get off to rocky start but eventually Asagi realizes that she needs some of Kage's power to save Sakura and escape Tokyo Kingdom. Able to use a small part of the power Asagi is able to wound Oboro (Clone) and kill Saya, after Sakura is badly wounded.

During moments of severe duress Kage will appear before Asagi and offer her help. Asagi is from that point able to use this form to enhance her fighting ability, however specially people like Edwin Black have a great interest in her repeated use of that power and in TA3. This can lead to a bad ending in which, Asagi's Kage form becomes Vampire Asagi after fusing with Black, and killing of her humanity.
