Renamon
Renamon is a fictional character from the
Digimon franchise.
Renamon's Tamer is
Rika, and is a main character in the
Digimon Tamers season (as well as the two related movies Battle of Adventurers and Runaway Locomon). Renamon's Digivolution forms are inspired from the Kitsune and other fox spirits of Asian myth. The name "Renamon" is derived from
Renard, the French word for Fox.
Appearance
Renamon is tall and powerful for a Rookie level Digimon. She is far more mature than the other Rookie Digimon, considering her experience and her jaded view on life. Renamon's feral features and penetrating icy blue eyes can make her seem quite intimidating, even when she does not mean to give that impression. She seems to be able to teleport short distances. Renamon can also run at high speeds (at least fast enough to keep up with speeding traffic). Throughout the entire series, she hardly ever smiles. She has the
Taoist symbol on both of her wrists and a modified version of the same symbol on her thighs.
Description
Renamon became
Rika's partner after she received her D-Power shortly after a Digimon Cards tournament. Many Digimon appeared to ask Rika to be their
tamer, but at the end, Rika's choice was Renamon; "I just want one strong Digimon". Renamon remained as Rika's companion throughout the Tamers season. Renamon does not remember how she came to the real world from the Digiworld; she only remembers her partnership with Rika. Whenever Rika is alone, Renamon can appear to her.
At first, Renamon's view on humans was that they were just aids for Digimon in Digivolution, and her Tamer, Rika, thought that Digimon were just fighting machines. The two had a distant relationship. As time passed, their friendship grew stronger, having understood each other better, and the two saved each other on many occasions. It reached its zenith when, during the D-Reaper's attack, Rika told Renamon that she preferred fighting by Renamon's side over leaving the battle and saving herself. This enabled the final Bio-mergeance that sparked Sakuyamon's birth.
She gets along with Guilmon and
Terriermon well, but she has an interesting
love-hate relationship with
Impmon, seen mostly in "
Impmon's Last Stand", where she seemed very concerned for his safety. Impmon however, left the group and later became
Beelzemon. After Biomerging to Sakuyamon, Renamon gains a compassion for life, and repeatedly shows concern for Impmon despite other dangers.
Attacks:
Diamond Storm (狐葉楔 Fox Leaf
Arrowhead): Renamon summons a cloud of razor-sharp shards which she fires on her foe.
Power Paw: Only used once in the show, Renamon's hands and feet are surrounded by
blue fire as she strikes.
