Renamon (Tamers)

Renamon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise. Renamon is the Digimon partner of 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 quite tall for a Rookie level digimon - in or above the height of a human. Unlike the other Rookie Digimon, Renamon is a far more mature Digimon, with experience and a jaded view on life. Renamon's animalistic features and penetrating icy blue eyes can make it seem quite intimidating, even when it is not trying to be.

=Description=

Renamon became Rika's partner after she received her D-Power, which she recieved from winning a Digimon Cards tournament. Many Digimon appeared to ask Rika to be their tamer, but at the end, Rika's choice was Renamon. Renamon remained as Rika's companion throughout the Tamers season.

At first, Renamon's view on humans was that they were just aids for Digimon in Digivolution. Rika thought that Digimon were just fighting machines. The two had a distant relationship. As time passed, the two saved each other on many occasions and their friendship grew stronger. It reached its zenith when it enabled the final Bio-mergance that sparked Sakuyamon's birth.

 Attacks: 
 * Diamond Storm (Fox Leaf Arrowhead) Renamon summons a cloud of razor-sharp shards which she fires on her foe.
 * Power Paw (Wisteria Punch) Renamon's fists and feet glow in a ghostly blue light which quickly become engulfed in a raging inferno of blue flames. When her limbs are in this state, Renamon leaps into the air, kicking and slicing her foes.

Reremon
Raremon is a Slime Digimon who is the Baby form of Renamon. Reremon never appeared in the anime.

Viximon
Viximon is a Lesser Digimon who is the In-Training form of Renamon. The name "Viximon" comes from "Vixen", the word for a female fox. Viximon's Japanese name, "Pokomon", comes from the Spanish word "poco", meaning 'a bit'. Viximon appeared when Renamon De-Digivolved after the defeat of the D-Reaper, and soon returned to the Digital World

Kyubimon
Kyubimon is Renamon's Champion level form. She is a yellow nine-tailed fox with a white mane and mystical blue flames flaring around her paws and tail tips. She was inspired by a mythical Japanese beast, the kitsune. Kyubimon is the Digivolved form of the fox Renamon. She is called Kyuubimon in Japanese. In the card game a Vaccine version of Kyubimon also exists.

Rika wanted Renamon to digivolve for a long time but wasn't able to achieve it. However, when the two were attacked by a Dokugumon, Renamon protected Rika, thus taking the full blast of Dokugumon's attack. This act caused her to digivolve to Kyubimon (with the help of Calumon), and in her new form was able to defeat the Spider Digimon. Kyubimon also appeared when Rika was captured by IceDevimon although Rika at first was afraid that Renamon would end up like IceDevimon if she digivolved. Renamon later digivolved several times again to battle the Devas and other evil Digimon in the Digital World. When Earth and the Digital World were threatened by D-Reaper Kyubimon also appeared in several battles although this time Renamon would more often digivolve to Sakuyamon.

 Attacks: 
 * Fox Tail Inferno (Demon Fireball): The blue flames on Kyubimon's tails become brighter, and ghostly faces similar to that of DemiMeramon's appear on them. The faces then become small fireballs which Kyubimon launches at her opponents to destroy them in an explosion of energy as well as trap them in a cage of blue flames which singes them.


 * Dragon Wheel (Fox Flame Dragon): Kyubimon starts to spin around very fast which causes her flames to erupt into a fiery inferno which spreads across her body turning her into a ball of swirling blue fire. When in this state Kyubimon can cause a mystical dragon to emerge from her body and destroy her enemies.

Taomon
Taomon is a wizard type Digimon who is the ultimate form of the fox digimon Renamon. She can summon various spells and weapons to help her harness the powers of the magical energy that flows through the universe. Taomon's dress style is based upon the religions Taoism and Buddhism, thus the long hat and the robes she wears.

Taomon first appeared to fight the Ox Deva, Vajramon. Before she became Taomon and after the defeat of Pajiramon the Sheep Deva, Vajramon asked to talk with Renamon and the two briefly returned to the Digital World. Vajramon, who seemed smitten with Renamon, tried to convince her to join him. She turned him down, saying that all she wanted from him was information. Vajramon, enraged, attacked, and Renamon, with Rika's aid, Digivolved to the mystic Digi-priestess Taomon, defeating Vajramon easily and destroying him with the Talisman Of Light. Taomon later appeared to fight Vikaralamon, Beelzemon, Zhuqiaomon and the agents of the D-Reaper.

 Attacks: 
 * Thousand Spells: Taomon leaps high into the air with her sleeve-covered arms outstretched. She then shoots thousands of magical, red spell papers from them. The spell papers can bind her enemies to a spot as well as combust in a fiery explosion.
 * Talisman of Light: A large, magical paintbrush emerges from Taomon's long sleeves, which she can brandish as a weapon and a magical staff. She can use it to paint mystical symbols into the air which release beams of pure light energy that can decimate all but the strongest enemies.
 * Talisman Spell: Taomon throws a magical red spell paper into the air, which she can use to summon and manifest various magical effects that include a spherical shield of impenetrable magical energy as well as releasing small spectral blasts.
 * Talisman Star: Taomon creates a symbol of razor sharp, red mystical energy symbols in her hand which fly in a boomerang-like pattern when thrown. Upon impact, her enemy glows white with light energy while being torn apart.
 * Trinity Burst: Becomes energy and combines with WarGrowlmon and Rapidmon into an energy arrow that destroys the enemy.

Sakuyamon
Sakuyamon is a Shaman Digimon and the Mega level form of Renamon. Sakuyamon was formed when Rika Biomerged with Renamon while they took a leap of faith to save Calumon from the D-Reaper. Rika fell back into Renamon and there was a blinding flash of blue light. Data rings formed around them as the visage of a lady with long hair was seen leaping high into the moonlight, landing clad in golden armour and a Vajra staff. Sakuyamon appeared thereafter in almost every battle against the D-Reaper. Near the end of the series, Sakuyamon passed her energy to Justimon to help him defeat the Cable-Reaper, which only proved to be in vain. Sakuyamon later reappeared to help fight the Parasimon.

 Attacks: 
 * Spirit Strike (Rice Cord): Sakuyamon summons 4 mystical fox spirits that are imbuded with the powers of fire, water, wind and lightning. These spirits obey Sakuyamon's command and can be used to tie her enemies up, create weird weather patterns over her enemies' heads, enter their bodies, and destroy them from the inside out.


 * Amethyst Mandala (Vajra World Mandala): Sakuyamon uses her magical powers to create a huge ring of golden energy that surrounds an enemy and slowly decreases in size, crushing it to a pulp. This attack is lethal and uses up a lot of power. Therefore, this technique is rarely used.


 * Amethyst Wind: Sakuyamon summons a mystical wind that carries hundreds of purple crystalline shards. These shards rip her enemies to shreds, severely harming them. This attack can sometimes be fatal.


 * Crystal Sphere: Sakuyamon creates a spherical crystalline barrier that is charged with magical energy. The barrier can deflect some incoming attacks as well as radiates outwards and destroy all enemies that come in to contact and touch it.
