HISTORY: Digimon Tamers Series | Ruki's Story
PERSONALITY: There are two sides to Ruki that have developed over the course of her time as a Digimon Tamer. The first is the most obvious and, frankly, the part of her personality that comes off as the strongest since she has been that way for a long time. That is, Ruki can be quite the ice-queen upon first getting to know her. For a long time, Ruki looked down on others and saw herself as the BEST Tamer, with no one else worthy of her affection and to just be stepping stones on her way to power and to evolve Renamon. While this has been toned down greatly since she first started fighting Digimon, Ruki is still very much an anti-social being. She keeps most people at a distance and only lets others in slowly, preferring her own quiet solitude. Ruki is working on this, as we see with her developing relationships with her friends, but she has a lot to work though in terms of trust. It's difficult for her to make friends because she keeps to herself a lot, but she is slowly warming up to the idea of being a little more social. Although we've yet to see her really interact with anyone outside of the Digimon group.

While her cold-side is especially strong, it's important to note that Ruki has "thawed" a lot since her early days as a Tamer. Now that she has gone through several trials with her new friends, Ruki finds herself caring a lot more about them. She worries about Digimon like Impmon and Culumon, who can't take care of themselves, and even Renamon who is her best friend and partner. She even really begins to look after and care for Juri, especially after Juri loses her own partner. For one who used to not care about anyone, Ruki has become much more protective of others and would do anything, even put herself at risk, to make sure they are safe.

Ruki's father and mother are divorced and so Ruki distances herself from others so as not to be hurt again. However, most of her trust issues seem to center around her mother, since her father is decidedly out of the picture. She has quite a few issues with her, though this too is slowly being resolved as she gets to know her mom more. At first, Ruki just brushes her mother off as an air-head who cares more about Ruki as a dress-up doll to make into a mini-version of herself than as her daughter. And, while her mother is a bit flaky, Ruki slowly realizes that her mother DOES really care about her well-being and worries about her. Ruki begins to accept her mother more as time goes on, especially as her mother starts to give her more space and not try to force her ideals on her. Ruki is slowly realizing that not everyone is out to hurt her and this is helping her learn to trust. Not only that, but it is also allowing her to be more open about her feelings. When Renamon was forced back to the Digital World, Ruki openly shed tears for her and she is openly touched when her mother buys them matching shirts for "good luck" in the final battle.

So, over all, Ruki has warmed up a LOT, but that has not diminished her more cynical nature or her independence. She still stands tall and proud as a Tamer and doesn't let the "boys" show her up in terms of power. She can take care of herself and knows what to do in a great number of situations because of her experiences as a Tamer. She knows the others will support her, but she isn't one to lean on them without also supporting them as well. While she can still be grouchy at times and aloof as hell, she is a lot less uptight than she used to be. Some might even say she's capable of having fun now, but you have to get past her 'tough girl' exterior first.
CANON POWERS: As a Tamer, Ruki can give boosts to her partner, Renamon, both via cards and through evolution to higher digimon forms. She can even evolve with Renamon to the Ultimate level to become "Sakuyamon" in an evolution process called Matrix Evolution. This is Renamon's highest evolution and as such is a very powerful one. However, since Renamon isn't here, Ruki is a normal 12 year old girl with a great prowess for children's card games. Just not that children's card game.
OTHER:

She knows a few card tricks...

GAME INFO;

CRAU INFO: n/a
MAGIC ABILITY: Summoning a patronus...sort of. Ruki will be able to summon and control a replica of Renamon made of blue light. This construct is corporeal and tangible enough to defend or attack, but has no free will of its own. So Ruki must concentrate on what she wants the not!Renamon to do or it will just stand there. As a bonus, if Ruki concentrates hard enough, she can see and hear what not!Renamon does. However, if her concentration is broken then both the ability and the not!Renamon construct would fade. It could also disappear if taking enough damage, since the illusion or construct would shatter and that would likely come from Ruki's broken concentration as well.
ANY WEAPONS/MAGICAL ITEMS?: Ruki will have a deck of Digimon cards and her digivice, a blue D-Arc. The digivice, called a D-Arc, connects a tamer to their digimon partner. This particular digivice displays a holographic search function showing where a digimon's presence is in relation to the Tamer and can display digimon's data as seen through the eyes of Renamon. It also channels Ruki's power to Renamon allowing evolution to take place. As Renamon is not in game, most of these "features" will be useless.
ANY PETS?: N/A
