Name: Maria Carver
Age: 15
Birthday: April 23rd
Gender: Female
Hometown: New York City, NY
Occupation: Student
Class: Tamer
Digivice: A black smartwatch with DigiCode on the straps
Digisoul: A red digital aura matching the one in Data Squad
Appearance:
Maria is a 5'2" Caucasian girl with brown eyes and a petite figure; it's not uncommon for others to see her as being younger than she really is. Her blonde hair is usually tied into twintails, and she wears two hairclips to keep her bangs out of her face. Her hair accessories almost always match the color of her outfit. Her clothes tend toward the stylish and trendy side, even when she's dressed casually.

Personality: Maria's wealthy upbringing has made her a spoiled, haughty, and arrogant girl who acts as though she's above everyone else. She thinks she's too good to do most things herself and expects the world to be handed to her on a silver platter. Only if she really wants something will she bother to lift a finger, all while bemoaning the lack of good help and/or hurling insults at those who couldn't or wouldn't help. Despite the fact that she never seems to want to lift a finger, she's quick to brag about herself, her accomplishments (no matter how little she was involved in them), and/or her family. On the other hand, if she's incapable of doing something (which is more common than she'd like to admit), she'll dismiss it as unimportant while trying to hide her blush.
It's safe to say that Maria is self-centered, but that's not just because she grew up rich. Her family's recent upheaval has left her terrified of losing power and control, and she desperately grasps at anything she can to prevent that. She also doesn't know how to deal with not being as wealthy as she once was, so she clings to her old lifestyle and mannerisms, even exaggerating them to keep up the façade. She simply can't imagine not being perceived as wealthy. How else is she supposed to make connections? Especially when she's been torn away from the friends she once had and there's no way she could ever talk to them again after what happened...
Perhaps that's why she's grown even more abrasive since the move to Lumen City. If no one gets close to her, then no one can find out that she's fallen from grace and is living a lie. She can be whoever she says she is without worrying about anyone discovering the truth. But without anyone to confide in, what will she do with the burdens and fears lying heavy on her heart...?
History: Maria claims that her wealth is thanks to her mother, a genius programmer, but the truth goes deeper than that. Maria was born Maria Wellington, and her parents once headed Wellington Software, a successful New York–based company. She lived the high life in New York, enjoying the benefits of her parents' wealth and connections… until her father was arrested for fraud and misuse of company assets in a high-profile case that ruined the Wellington name. The business would have collapsed had it not been for a buy-out offer to Maria's mother, Laura. It was a blatantly unfair deal worth far less than the company ever had been, but given the choice between that and being left with nothing, Laura took the deal. The company was rebranded to erase the "stink" of the Wellington name, and Laura followed suit, divorcing her husband and returning to her maiden name, Carver.
Laura and Maria, who also took on the Carver name, moved across the country to Lumen City for a fresh start. It's been a difficult transition for both of them: They've left their friends and family behind, and although they still have money from the buy-out and Laura's programming work, it's not the same as their previous life. They live in a nice apartment in Aurora Towers, sure, but it's not their old mansion maintained by hired help and a live-in maid. They're far from living in poverty, yet Maria feels as though she's fallen to the level of the "commoners" she once lorded over.
Despite her mother's best efforts to teach Maria to live a more humble life, Maria, afraid of falling any farther than she already has, refuses to give up her previous lifestyle. She still acts as though she is rich and flaunts her fabricated status with the best clothes, accessories, electronics, etc. that she can get. She refused to go to public school in Lumen City, so her mother agreed to enroll her in a private high school on the condition that she keep her grades up. Her arrogance has become a wall that she puts up to keep people from getting too close and discovering the truth. In a sense, her lifestyle is a ticking time bomb: Either she won't be able to afford to put up this façade anymore, or someone will find out the truth. And she's desperate to avoid that.
Goals: Keep up the façade, no matter what. But it can't last forever, can it? Is there a way she can regain her former status...?

Name: Reginald
Species: PetitMamon (M)
Gender: Male
Personality: Reginald, despite the fancy name bestowed upon him by Maria, is a childish, craven troublemaker. He's always looking to prove himself, so he treats many things in life, especially battles, like games to be won. But Reginald isn't the type to play fair, instead preferring to use tricks, taunts, and his book of spells to gain the upper hand in battle. If that doesn't work, especially against a much more powerful foe, he'll retreat while making up some excuse like "It's no fun to fight you!" If he does win, however, expect him to immediately boast about it.
Outside of battle, he enjoys playing pranks. He usually aims them at people he doesn't know to lower the chance of retaliation, but he has some special ones up his sleeve for the people he knows and has had the chance to observe for a while. To him, these personalized, carefully planned pranks are an expression of friendship; after all, who else would know you so well that they would know exactly how to catch you off-guard? Plus, whether they're done to a friend or stranger, pranks are just funny!
History: Reginald, formerly known as just PetitMamon, was hatched in a dark, bleak part of the Digital World ruled by Lord Daemon. Not wanting to be eaten alive by the much stronger Digimon around him, Reginald swore his loyalty to Lord Daemon and was allowed to serve in his castle. Even as a little Mokumon, Reginald followed the commands and whims of Daemon and his army, all while hoping that one day, he'd be strong enough to join them...
Out of the blue, though, he found himself in a strange new world inhabited by even stranger creatures, including ones called "humans." At first, he was unable to interact with any of these creatures, but he found ways to influence this foreign world, even if just in small ways. He began to amuse himself by playing tricks on the humans and whatever other non-Digimon creature he could find. Humans quickly proved to be the more fun targets with their varied reactions and the rumors they created about him and the other Digimon that existed in the limbo between worlds.
But there's one human in particular that's caught his eye. She's small, but she's confident, boisterous, and bossy. For now, all he can do is play his little tricks on her, but maybe one day, they'll have a chance to meet face-to-face...
Goals: Get back home and introduce Maria to Master Daemon. He's sure they'll get along great!

Approved!
While you may have removed the snot from Reginald's nose, the snot deep within Maria's soul remains. Perhaps her experiences in a world unlike any other can fix that?
