[@tobiax] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA thank you??? That means a lot jegbusnfjnhgjf

I actually had to mix sprites since Bud's line wasn't consistent to one game, so I used Digimon story and the Japanese-only Digimon Adventure 02: D-1 Tamers. Thought it'd be nice to sort of tie in to the whole digital feel if that makes sense? Thus why I used game sprites. ^ ^"

I was worried about that and originally Bud was another concept for a Kindness crest holder (who was going to have a digimon which was nearly Bud's line, and Dorotea originally was going to have Vorvomon and then some other fiery line after I realized Haruka had Vorvomon //wHEEZES), but ETH said that he preferred Dorotea's deal with her connection to Kindness. Bud was made Dorotea's partner both to help diversify the digimon we had here, to not lose both of my ideas, and to give Dorotea further conflict, especially since her crest might be easier to activate (perhaps Bud could slow her down?). If there's an issue with her crest being easier to activate though I'm willing to have more pitches!

I'll also be sure to include you in any conversations, no worries! Her backstory is pretty goshdarned fleshed out but a lot of it goes into really heavy topics like suicide, child abuse and gaslighting, the failing of child protective services (while the other two are familiar topics Dorotea's exposure and connection to these things vastly differ from mine, but her relationship with child protective services very closely mirrors my own), etc., and I didn't know if this was the place + I didn't want to make it drag on for too long, plus it was gonna be hard to make it all flow properly.

And yeah! Plesiosaur also ties in musically, and while Whamon doesn't, I like to think of whale songs and what have you. Thought it'd be a cute connection.

[@EnterTheHero] And thanks for accepting her! Will move her over right away! O v O b
