(Height: 159 cm
Weight: 50 kg)

Personality:
Kaede describes herself as "person of few words". She doesn't like to talk, and generally only talk when it's important, or if something caught her attention. She's in opinion of that words are frivolous things, and while she doesn't really care if people love to talk or not, honestly talking is tiring, so she would rather listen instead. Sometimes that's how she gleans on someone's personality. However, combined with her rather flat expression, she often looked uninterested, or even worse, sarcastic. While Kaede herself is not against such depiction, she would often sigh and mutter "at the very least they know my worth, and did not just like me just because empty platitudes"

Indeed, the thing that Kaede hates the most is person like her estranged father, whose silver tongue managed to decieve people. She thinks lowly of those who talks simply to gain favor. She hates those who swindles even more. Perhaps it was trauma, but she have learned to pretty much treats what people said as "half truths". In her mind, a peer-reviewed research, treatment method, and all that, is much more trustworthy than someone saying using x for y no matter how prestigious the title of someone who said it was. Who knows, maybe they're just bullshitting their title? Well, thanks to that, she might appear dismissive, or uninterested.

On the contrary, if proven wrong, she would actually be very happy about it. After all, yes, she looked at the world with view of a skeptic, but if there's an absolute proof that she can see, she can feel and she can experience herself, then by all means that would quickly turn her into a believer. It would show that deep inside, Kaede is just a curious girl who's interested in many aspect of the world. However, her focus is treatments, be it traditional or modern. She said that she might become a doctor in the future, but for the meantime she's quite happy with how her work is like. After all, it's not everyday you have a teenage girl with knowledge of herb effects, of acupuncture and of massage, especially not with how it is at current year. If there's something that she's passionate about... well talk to her about herbs. She probably have few of them dried within her satchel of goods. Now, if she's given a kettle that can heat up by itself, she would pretty much be a walking relaxation tea saleswoman.

History:
Born to a japanese father and chinese-american mother who met in college. Her mother was a therapist and her father, by that time, was almost a dropout who did not find his calling in medical field as his parents would have wanted. It was a case of a "guy reformed after meeting the love of his life", or at least that was said by her father, which, she expect would be some grade A bullshit. Well, she admit that it might have some sort of truth to it. Perhaps her father was a righteous man before. Whatever happened, while he indeed would drop out of the medical field major, he switched into something that he have more liking toward: economy. It was apparently after the switch that her father ended up flourishing. Her mother approved of his happiness, and then eventually, skipping the sappy part, they got married.

Unfortunately, the birth that led to her wasn't a smooth sailing. In fact, she heard that her father had to pay a lot for various treatments. Hormone, checkups, etc... but eventually, after tons of money and time, she was born to this world, healthy and well. She remembered being doted on by her father and her mother, but at the same time... life wasn't all that good. Her mother was... to fault, a prideful woman. She refused to ask for help from her parents. She always goes like "I have doctor practice license, I'm sure going to turn my life back. I don't need help".

Little did they know, however, life wasn't all that good. Following the pregnancy was tons of complications. Before they knew it, they're behind in a lot of thing. Not helping that her father wasn't doing well in his job, having to take care of her and her mother. In the end, swallowing their pride, the family left Japan, not having any close direct living relative in said country, and moved back to her grandparents', which is a traditional health treatment parlor.  It was here that her father... changed.

Her father was taught by her grandparents of the way of traditional treatment, while her mother decided to rent a small room apartment in the city to stay in, because driving from the Lumen City to the town is quite a hassle. This of course was discussed and her father agreed (so said her grandmother). Her father, using his old knowledge of medical field, absorbed the knowledge that was bestowed to him, and eventually decided to move closer to her mother, something that she remembered her mother being very overjoyed about.

During this time, her father... decided to open his own traditional treatment clinic. This where everything goes downhill. At first, he used his charming way to gain more patients, do treatments and such... but... on the side, he's actually selling dubious kind of medicines. Medicines that... at best, it works but to low degree, and at worst, something like a scam. She had no idea of this, and was blissfully unaware, happy at the idea that her father and mother lending service for people's health... and before long, they managed to buy a new house, life seems good... Well, until somehow, he got busted.

How or why she had no idea, but all she knew was one day, he was gone. Her house got raided by the police, her mother waken up by them quite rudely. Her father have fled the country, and apparently facing multiple criminal charges (the exact details is fuzzy to her, not she's interested either), but the end result was... the house got sold, her mother divorcing her father, her credibility gone rock bottom. In her depression, she decided to leave the country to instead pursue career elsewhere. Everything seemed like a blur, and since then she was adopted by her grandparents. She's currently in low contact with her mother and absolutely no contact whatsoever with her father. Not that she knew where he is.

Goals:
Be a proper, upstanding citizen
Become rich, in proper way
Be happy, live somewhere quaint, with small house, and have her own herb garden and greenhouse

[kaede]

Name: Medicamon
Species: Medicamon
Gender: Male

Personality: 
A sly snake that no one can really understand what he's thinking about, but one thing for sure is that... he's not purely altruistic despite presenting himself as an actual snake oil salesman (with actual benefit). While not outright condescending nor arrogant for his power, Medicamon is not above asking for unfair prices for his medicines also. Even when someone agreed to his demand, he could actually cancel the agreement onesidedly. Integrity? When dealing with customers? He doesn't believe in that. In his opinion, "customer rights" are only established when he's purely on board with giving them what they want.

Medicamon is antagonistic to a fault. He enjoys riling people up, and he really enjoy seeing those who only have malicious ideas, or desire to dupe him rise in anger. So what if they try to kill him? They gonna lose all the elixir! Hell, he could even say that he'll poison his well of medicine if they do, and the data that they absorb won't be of his healing elixir, but of his toxin instead. Too bad for them, huh? Well, he managed to snake out his way the same manner in digital world. This, coupled with his idea that it's better to end thing than to prolong suffering make him extremely at odd with Kaede.

Weakness, and desire for salvation, Medicamon understood those all too well. Medicines are not omnipotent, and he knew it better than most for he was created from data of various medical research. Medicines that cures all, should not be exist, and it would be called "magic" if that's the case. But even "digital magic" have its limitations. That's why he thought that if someone want a release, why not give them poison instead? Isn't it the same? The morality unfortunately did not sit well with many, and to them, he simply say

"In that case just let me bear the sin. It have nothing to do with you, does it?"

History:
What tale is there to tell about a Digimon so odd, that it practically living inside a big bottle, marinating itself(?) with herbs and fruit inside liquid god know what it's made of? Well, anyway, as far as Medicamon know, he was born from a strange egg, that seem to smell like herbs. From there on, his life was pretty much uneventful. Eat fruits, roll around, waiting for the day of evolution--and when it happened, before he knew it, he was inside that bottle! Well, that was interesting, even for him. Before long he knew that this liquid, is somehow a medicine. He's a living snake oil, one that could replenish itself easily. Oh, he can also float around, just like Kudamon... is he a Kudamon? Only god knows, but eh.

His life from there on was interesting. His healing ability was potent enough to help some Digimons who are hurt, but... as he heals them, come people who tried to use him. At first, he thought that it was his responsibility to heal everyone indiscriminately, but... the more he think of it, the more exploited he feels. In the end, one day, he snapped. He started becoming sarcastic and condescending to those who come to him after purposely getting hurt.

"You think I can heal you for free all the time? Duh? My healing is better than HP Floppy... what makes you think that I will heal you any less than 500 bits?"
"Oh now you're giving me money, are you? Sorry, but I'm tired you see. Money isn't an issue anymore, so much that it's food."
"Oh, you got me food? Too bad I'm full already, so I'm going to sleep. Snakes sleep when they're full don't they? Leave me be, and come again next time! Oh look, after all those chores, your wound has already closed! Surely you don't need my help anymore?"

People would of course grumble that it'll be faster if they just buy HP Floppy, to which the Digimon would answer

"If you know that already, why haven't you done that? You think I'm free all the time? I don't even have a sign that I'm opening up a healing shop, morons!"

Eventually, his attitude pretty much attracted the wrong crowd. Sensing that he can no longer stay in the Digital World, he crossed to the real world, wondering if it's any better, and if it's good. Little did he knew, that was the day where he got linked to a girl whose attitude on healing people is completely different from him. 

Goals:
Be free of banalities of the world, and do whatever he want

A once per thread move that is Medicamon's trump card. It heals maximum of three targets, and on top of that regenerate any wounds for two turns after. It will cause Medicamon to regress back to his previous stage for 10 turns.

Note: Medicamon will not gain stack of Potion Synthesis while charging
