Information

Tsurumon has the lightest of touches and the sharpest of edges, in more ways than one. He carries himself with a quiet dignity; obeying his tamer without a word and treating those he encounters with a respectful and considerate manner. He never pries further than he needs to, and will always treat a new situation with a new and unbiased perspective, or at least, as much as he is able.

That's not to say he is a pushover though; he is far less delicate than he looks. He does have his own standards and if he makes a decision to take a stand, he will not back down. While never one to start a fight, he is frequently the one to finish them, combining an efficient and professional attitude with a deadly display of skill and agility, keeping a cool head throughout any situation. There are few things that can get him truly riled up, although even he has his limits; if there is even the slightest hint that his partner's life is in danger, he will lose all inhibitions in order to protect her.

For as dignified and polite as he seems, Tsurumon keeps his emotions very much to himself, with his bond with his partner the only hint to a past he'd maybe rather be apart from. Through shame, or through hurt; whatever it is that stained his pristine persona, he keeps it locked away. But whatever the reason, he will go out of his way to be kind to those who deserve it. Be it even an enemy who reaches out a hand in need, or a lone, lost girl with nowhere to go back to. That's just the kind of Digimon he wants to be, and he will bear his soul to make it happen.

Attacks

  • Paper Glaive - Tsurumon unfolds paper daggers from within his wings, which he then throws with deadly accuracy.
  • Folded Wing - Tsurumon folds himself up and darts away in an instant, unfolding in a different place to strike his opponent.
