History Characters / DigimonAdventureDigiDestined

* FatalFlaw: Much more evident in the Japanese Dub, but similar to Kari he had a bad habit of trying to suppress his fear and emotions in order to keep other people happy and hopeful. ''However'', whereas this resulted from Kari's knowing that she deserves to express her own pain and wants but being unable to do so due to her compulsive need to keep her pain to herself, T.K.'s variant of emotional repression is built more on deflection and denial of his trauma (especially in regards to Angemon's death and his parents' divorce in Adventure), until [[RageBreakingPoint he eventually reaches a breaking point. When he reaches that point]], his repressed trauma bursts out of him in violent rage and irrational anger due to having little means to healthily handle it.

* TheHero: He is the main character and the leader of the group.

* FatalFlaw: This is more explicitly highlighted in the Japanese version, but Hikari is stated to have a bad tendency [[RepressionNeverEndsWell to repress her own pain in favor of worrying about others, even if it means leaving herself with severe emotional problems]] that she struggles to resolve, or even just to express that she ''has'' any problems. This was somewhat muddied in the English Dub of Digimon Adventure 02 due to her Dub characterization being much snarkier and blunter.

* DeliberatelyCuteChild: her first appearance makes her look like a Precious Moments figurine.
* DelicateAndSickly: Hikari (Kari) Yagami in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', younger sister of Taichi (Tai), who gets the IncurableCoughOfDeath during one episode. It's later stated that Hikari had not properly healed from a huge cold that left her bedridden and unable to join the kids who'd become the Digidestined in their fateful summer camp. Said cold came back with a vengeance when they were in the Digital World, causing Hikari to fall down with a fever that was just as bad as back home -- only that in this particular SickEpisode, they had no ways to properly treat her, and for worse Machinedramon was tracking them. It triggered Taichi's bad memories of the incident in which, years ago, he accidentally caused Hikari to almost die of pneumonia. She seems to have grown out of this by the time of [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 the sequel series]].

* CreepyChild: Although not at all evil, her mysterious powers and unexplained knowledge makes her seem this way at times.

* FluffyTamer: In ''Digimon: The Movie'', "Big Agumon" seemed less intelligent and more violent than Tai's Agumon, but he still let her ride around on his back.

* DubPersonalityChange: In the dub, Mimi is made into an over the top GirlyGirl stereotype and acts like a SpoiledBrat even later into the series. Japanese Mimi on the other hand is more of a SpoiledSweet GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak, and her most notable quality is how open-minded she is. That said, she does crack under extreme stress from time to time.

* HeroesWantRedheads: He develops a thing for [[spoiler:Sora and eventually marries her]].

* HeroesWantRedheads: She is in a LoveTriangle with Taichi and Yamato. While Hiroyuki Kakudo, the director for ''Adventure'', had always intended on Sora ending up with Yamato and believed a love triangle "didn't exist" -- ''Our War Game!'' and ''Digimon Adventure tri.'', which he had no involvement in, ''did'' ship Sora with Taichi.

* TheTeam: The Digidestined ultimately fulfill team roles according to the Crests they are attuned to them, but they need character development to get there.
** Tai is the headstrong Leader (Courage), the strongest, and the one who keeps the team together.
** Matt is TheLancer as a more thoughtful loner, Tai's primary foil, and rough equal in power. Interestingly, he has the Crest of Friendship and becomes a teamplayer.
** Sora is the TeamMom (Crest of Love!), looking after everyone particularly the younger members, but can also be a {{Shorttank}} ActionGirl when the need arises.
** Izzy is TheSmartGuy with the Crest of Knowledge who understands the technical aspects of the digital world better than anyone, an all around computer whiz, and Tai's SideKick when needed.
** Mimi (with character development) becomes TheHeart as is natural for someone with the Crest of Sincerity.
** Joe is the TeamDad who feels responsible for the others as the eldest, which fits perfectly with his Crest of Reliability.
** T.K. is the TagAlongKid as the youngest of the team who initially is just "Matt's kid brother". However, his cheerfulness and upbeat attitude sync up with his Crest of Hope.
** [[spoiler:Kari is a MysteriousWaif with the Crest of Light who has several inherent abilities that interact with the forces of light and darkness.]]

* BerserkButton: [[EvilisNotAToy Those who foolishly believe that they can control the powers of darkness]], and those [[FortheEvulz who ruin the lives of others]] in the Japanese version and other dubs.
