So this is more of a light-hearted, but a somewhat intriguing exercise in character development and perception.
What are some characters that you believe fit the bill in so far as their associated Crests/Digimentals, and those which you would have swapped out? The same applies to human and digimon partnerships.
Personally, I think that for the most part, the Crests and partnerships for the vast majority of the original team syncs up quite well, though Kari's Crest is somewhat vague. In so far as 02, I think that Yolei should haven gotten Knowledge and Courage. I know what they were going for with Davis, but I can't think of anyone more like Tai and Izzy than Yolei. This may apply more towards the VA for the dub, but I always took Hawkmon to be intended as a rather sagely character.
Were it not for my own headcanon concerning Ken, Kindness would have gone to Davis. Veemon's general cheerful disposition and Davis' general trusting nature make this an appropriate fit. but if we're going with classic Digimentals, then Friendship and Reliability.
Cody basically gets stuck with what's left over, but I actually believe that Sincerity is a good match for him, because of his brutal honesty. What I have difficulty with is Love as applied to Cody. Not that he didn't care deeply for his friends, but his character suffered such poor development, that it's hard to peg him as one thing or the other. If I had to swap him with Davis, perhaps I'd say Sincerity and Reliability for Cody, and Friendship and Love for Davis.
I think Takato and Guilmon delivered when it came to Courage, Love, and Kindness. While Tamers doesn't operate under the same mechanics, the Crests etc. are known within that universe, even if they are just fiction to them.
Rika fits the bill in so far as Friendship, Sincerity, and Light. Light is the harder sell out of all of these, but taken in tandem with Sincerity, I think it works quite well.
Henry is perhaps what I had hoped Cody to be were he developed accordingly. Personally, I could see him embodying Knowledge, Hope, and Reliability.
