**Etsuko Kawaguchi** is the human partner/tamer of the digimon: Hybrimon X. She character created and played by ryu-wolf for the group Digimon Arcana.

## Appearance

Etsuko has chestnut brown hair that reaches past her shoulders to her upper back with the ends dyed pink, which is mostly kept up in a bun and braid. Her eye colour is a light teal, her completion is fair with a slight tan, and has a snake-bite piercing with two small sterling-silver rings. She also has snaggle-tooth, giving her the appearance that she has more prominent canines. Etsuko is also a little on the pudgy side with some muscle mass underneath. On her back she has a burn scar after being hit accidentally by Batdaemon's Bubbly Nightmare attack during the Raiders of the Gargantuan Crystals event.

Her outfit is mostly pink with yellow and white accents. She wears an open pink jacket with a hoodie, white ruffles at the bottom, a zipper that ends at the abdomen, and a yellow bow on the back. The sleeves stop an inch just before her elbow and the cuffs are yellow. The hoodie strings are small changes that have small stars at the ends. The jacket is usually always fully zipped down, showing off a yellow bikini top with orange star accents on the right cup. On her left hand is a yellow glove while on her right is a pink and yellow striped arm sleeve that ends a little before her elbow, bot are finger less. She also wears yellow booty-shorts, pink thigh-highs with a white \_ pattern going down the side and a small yellow bow at the top. Her shoes are white high-tops with pink and yellow accents to complete the outfit.

She also wears a pink heart necklace that she seems to be always wearing.

## Personality

Etsuko is a bubbly, excitable girl who is a social butterfly and seams to make new friends easily. A bit naive she also can be quite selfish at times and not realize because of her sheltered upbringing, but Etsuko's heart is usually in the right place. Don't underestimate her because of her girly appearance, Etsuko is brash, bold, and assertive, she is never one to beat around the bush even if someones feelings get hurt. She believes the truth is more important then having to walk on egg shells to make them feel better.

## History

***Pre-Arcana***: Etsuko grew up in the suburbs that is Ikeda of Osaka prefecture and currently goes to Hibarigaoka Gakuen High School. She grew up in a nice house and her parents are well off, Etsuko's upbringing had been a little lonely due to her parents working and her being an only child. She easily made friends as she was growing up but only kept in close contact with her childhood friend Nina. When Etsuko was 12 she and Nina became interested in harujuku fashion, and over the years she shyly began to dress flashier, unlike her friend Nina who quickly jumped into it.

Her parents didn't like that she was dressing in such a way, and told Etsuko that she should keep dressing more modestly like she used to, however Etsuko no longer liked that her parents were so over-protective of her, which pushed her more into the fashion, at the time Nina's family had moved so she had to change schools and they kept limited contact. Hybrimon wasn't a part of her life until she was 16 years old when we went to meet up with Nina in a park one evening.

She was late and was rushing to the park, there was nobody there but she was confident she and Nina could protect themselves. When she arrived at the meeting place she was surprised to see monsters fighting. The small snake-like one was obviously loosing to the bigger fuzzy dragon-looking one, the small monster didn't want to give up though. Without thinking Etsuko got in between them thinking that the bigger one was picking on the little one. Confused the fuzzy dragon stepped back, and a familiar voice called out to her. It was Nina and the reason she called her to the park was to reveal why she had been so reclusive for the last three years.

After Nina told Etsuko about digimon she finally learned that the fuzzy dragon was named DORUmon and was holding a wild in-training digimon is her arms. After they caught up with each other Etsuko decided to keep the little trouble maker but had to hide it from her parents. For the next 2 years she learned that the digimon was called Ryukomon and how take care of her through trial and error (and with the help of Nina) she soon learned that other people had digimon and she learned how to raise her own (almost getting caught by her parents multiple times). Etsuko also disregarded her parents completely when it came to her fashion choices wearing brighter, more revealing clothing to her parent’s dismay.
