Fan:Mei Yashida

Mei Yashida Yashida Mei (矢志田 芽依) is a fanfictional character in the Digimon Cinematic Sagas. She is one of the secondary characters in the Legendary Tamers Saga.

Description
Mei was born in 2007 to Yashida and an unknown woman who had moved from Japan while Mei herself was born in New York. She lost her mother in young age and hid her loss and sadness. She didn't approve her father's decision to marry another woman years later. She was hiding her troubling family life from everyone else until she became a Tamer.

Before becoming a Digimon Tamer, Mei considered many of her classmates childish, including Jason Storm and Kyle Lambert. Initially she had a similar attitude on an exchange student named Tatsuya Munemori who later became her love interest.

Digimon: Age of Tamers
Mei appeared for the first time, when Tatsuya began his first school day in New York. While Tatsuya was immediately attracted to the girl, Mei instead teased Tatsuya about his childish hobbies he shared with Jason and Kyle. She even thought that Tatsuya's D-Ark was merely a small handheld game.

On next day, Mei found Calumon wandering in the school and soon found out that Tatsuya had become a Tamer with Guilmon as his Partner Digimon. They wondered if Calumon was meant to be a Partner Digimon too, but Mei hoped that a cute Digimon like Calumon should never fight anyone. Mei also witnessed how Vera Neidhardt and Renamon tried to attack Guilmon before the fight was interrupted by the men from W.N.D.D. led by Harold Thompson. Despite not being Tamer, Mei was allowed to hear the information about Calumon's powers to make other Digimon Digivolve as well as the existence of the Digital Revolution.

During the final battle against the Revolutionaries, Mei was ordered to stay with the W.N.D.D. men, but was captured by Ian Neidhardt, leader of the Revolution who had mutated into the D.H.M. But she was saved by Tatsuya and the D.H.M. was destroyed by him and the other Tamers. After these events, Mei's opinion about Tatsuya, Jason and Kyle had changed and she even kissed Tatsuya before agreeing to learn how to play the trading card game made of the Digimon. In few weeks, she had become even better player than Jason and Kyle, but didn't mind that she was still unable to beat Tatsuya, who was now her boyfriend.

Trivia

 * Mei is mostly based on Jeri Katou since Tatsuya Munemori has crush on her like Takato Matsuki had crush on Jeri. Unlike Jeri who initially was hiding his own Digimon, Mei really wasn't interested about the Digimon until being saved by Tatsuya in Age of Tamers.
 * Since Leomon was already used as another type characters, Wizarmon (Wizardmon is English dub) who was left unused in the DigiDestined Saga, was chosen to be Mei's partner.
