During the _Tsukihi Phoenix_ Arc of _Nisemonogatari_ Yozuru Kagenui is seen
not touching the ground. When she first meets Araragi and asks him directions
to the cram school, she's standing on benches, and when she goes to leave, she
jumps from bench to bench.

When she and Yotsugi Ononoki go to attack Tsukihi at the Araragi's house she
is at first standing on the fence. When Tsukihi is seemingly killed by Ononoki
she jumps on top of Araragi, pinning him to the ground, but she still stays
off of it herself. When she and Ononoki go to leave, she is standing on
Ononoki's finger as Ononoki walks away.

But when Araragi and Shinobu fight the two of them in the cram school she is
walking on the ground. I am wondering if there is a pattern or condition to
when she walks on the ground and when she doesn't?

Are there conditions to whether Yozuru Kagenui walks on the ground or not?


Slight spoilers for Tsukimonogatari

It is explained that Kagenui (and another character specific to
Tsukimonogatari) had a curse put onto them which prevents them from touching
the ground. There's little-to-no mention as to what happens if Kagenui ever
does touch the ground, but either way, with the amount of dedication she takes
to never stepping on it, it seems to be something relatively serious.

If I remember correctly, this curse was put onto her and the other character
for their work on bringing Ononoki into being (as in, in the form she is now).

About her walking on the floor of the cram school ruins, I'd say it's probably
because it's the floor of a building, not the actual ground. She's able to
walk on structures built on the ground, just not the ground itself.
