Profile[edit]
"War Maiden Who Landed in Shinjuku. Suddenly, she appeared before the protagonist and decided to explore together. Apparently she came to the human world in order to fulfill her mission."[4]
She is a servant of Junomon and Mercurymon who Dan/Kanan met falling in Shinjuku 8 years ago. She is Coronamon and Lunamon's friend that they call "Nee-chan", a pun on "Minerva" and "Nee-chan" (big sis).
Minervamon is friendly and befriends Dan/Kanan, Inori and Aegiomon on a whim despite being sent on a mission by Junomon to monitor the Great Guardian's whereabouts. Despite this, she is very snarky and tends to call the Agent "Egg Thief", even if they are directly next to the very Great Guardian she was tasked to find. She also cares about Coronamon and Lunamon a lot and will not think twice before appearing to protect them from danger.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger[edit]
The Agent Yuki Dan/Kanan first meets Minervamon in the Temple of Beginnings where Aegiomon's Digitama was enshrined at. She tries to fighting off one of Aegiomon's shadows, but it failed. Aegiomon's shadow then goes to the egg (it was heavily implied that it was trying to destroy it to commit suicide out of despair), but the Agent stops it in time and lands the egg 8 years in the past. From that point on, Minervamon began calling the Agent "Egg Thief." Junomon then ordered her to investigate and go to the human world, which she agreed with out of boredom.
Minervamon was then summoned into Kabukicho. On the way there however, she was pursued by Titamon and a Titan Greymon (Blue). Titamon lost track of her, but the Greymon followed her into the human world. She joined forces with the Agent to slay the Greymon, and they escort her back to the Misono Household where she lived with Aegiomon, Misono Inori and the Agent and exchanged information with them for a couple of days. For the rest of the human world, 8 years ago section of the game, Minervamon will be present in the party as a Level 3 guest Digimon with Strike Roll. During one day where Hiroko fainted spotting an Aegiomon shadow, Minervamon and the party tailed it all the way to a clearing, where she found out that the egg of the Great Guardian has hatched into Aegiomon. At the meantime, Titamon uses his powers to enter the human world, causing Minervamon to react in shock, as she thought that she escaped him, and joined forces with the Agent and Inori to fight him. Despite they successfully defeat him, the Agent and Inori were both trapped in Central Town of the Digital World with no way out.
Trying to find a way back out, the Agent, Inori and Aegiomon tries to gain an audience with its leader Mercurymon. Much to their chagrin, a Knightmon will not let them approach unless they find Minervamon personally and bring her to it. She meets up with the party again when Coronamon and Older Brother Bearmon were attacked by the Titan Orgemon brothers. The Titans were defeated and forced to escape and they manage to bring Minervamon back in tow, allowing them to meet Mercurymon. She then joined the party in reclaiming Central Tower from the Titans. After the party successfully convinces Vulcanusmon to turn the Locomon rail's power supply back on, Minervamon went to report to Junomon about Aegiomon's achievements and confirm to her that he is the Great Guardian, which greatly pleased her. She accompanied the party to the Guardian Palace to meet Junomon, who turned down their request to return to the human world citing the danger of attracting dangerous Digimon if she did so unless if they suppress the Titan attacks in the other areas.
8 years later, Minervamon tried to give Dianamon advice when she found out that all of the supposed Digimon emissaries she sent to the human world end up being captured by D-SAT to be used as fuel for the Giant Slayer. The now-insane Junomon found out and imprisoned her, preventing her from ever coming contact with her "siblings" again. Minervamon's imprisonment caused the wedge between Dianamon and her brother Apollomon to worsen, which was further exacerbated into outright, mutual hostility by a Pumpmon secretly working for Chronomon to render the two too focused on infighting to interfere with the Titan invasion and Shinjuku Inferno. She was freed by Yuki, Apollomon and Dianamon when they infiltrated the Guardian Palace alongside several Titans working for Plutomon. She was one of the Digimon who mistook Yuki for Aegiomon (because they were made from one of Aegiomon's shadows and was on the verge of disintegrating) and helps them save Junomon, who was in Hysteric Mode and became Chronomon's new vessel. During the battle against Junomon: Hysteric Mode, Minervamon has the moves Strike Roll, Madness Merry-go-round and Comet Hammer III. She was present during the gathering of the Olympos XII following the emergence of Jupitermon and Ceresmon, becoming one of its members.
After the Host Computers give the Agent the ability to time jump to whatever period and place they want to go to, Minervamon asks for their help in the side mission "What is Love?" in Central Town in the present day. Having learned of the existence of "love" from Junomon's ordeal, she tells the Agent that she wants to learn about it too as she doesn't want to change if she feels it. As love was a concept born from humanity, she thought a human would be the best to ask there. However, she rejected asking the Agent themself, or Shiroki Asuna or Monica Simmons. Instead, she thought Sagisaka Hiroko was the only human who could help her. Meeting in Hiroko's office, she explained to Minervamon that love wasn't easily defined as it took different forms for different people. To observe it, Hiroko recommended watching romantic movies, taking advantage of Misono Kosuke's collection. Sadly, her first choice, "This is the End", was an irritating film where the protagonist, a motorcycle thief, was too shy to confess his feelings and the main couple never found happiness. However, Minervamon thought the motorcycle itself was very cool and she hoped she'd fall in love with someone like that, someone who wouldn't change her.
As Minervamon still didn't understand the meaning of love, she asked for the Agent's help again immediately afterwards in the side mission "Premonitions of Love" in Rebellion Village. There, she told the Agent she realized human love was insignificant but wanted to research more love between Digimon, so she needed the Agent to get her worthy test subjects. Specifically, she wanted someone as cool as the motorcycle thief of the movie, and to get info, she sent the Agent to talk to Tanemon, who she thought had to know a lot about Digimon considering it played Jogmon. Tanemon did indeed know of the one Digimon that rode a motorcycle: Beelzebumon. The Agent must then show her a Beelzebumon in their current active party. Minervamon acts oddly at seeing the Demon Lord riding Behemoth, which just confuses Beelzebumon. Aware she's going crazy and feeling strange, Minervamon leaves to cool her head. Afterwards, Minervamon explains she felt warmth, tightness and pain in her chest and decides to stay in Rebellion Village to figure what that was, unaware it was the very love she sought.
After that, Minervamon challenges the Agent to a fight in the side mission "Triumph Is Mine" to alleviate the feeling she has had since seeing Beelzebumon, thinking that beating someone that hung out with such strong Digimon as the Agent would put her mind at ease.
Minervamon is the boss of the side mission "Triumph Is Mine". She can use Guard Break. She is weak to Fire and Electricity, and resists Earth and Wind (same as playable version).
Minervamon becomes frustrated by her defeat, blaming her budding love for holding her back and deciding to shut that feeling away until she became strong enough for the battles to come. She also confuses said feeling rising inside of her with evolution, which makes her glow but doesn't change her at all, to her confusion.
Back at her house in Central Town, in the side mission "Minervamon's Decision", Minervamon tells the Agent something she only trusts them with, not even her little siblings, namely that another Beelzebumon had appeared in the Factorial Area. As this was one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, a being that could destroy the world, Minervamon felt hesistant to go alone and asked the Agent to accompany her. There, Beelzebumon told them his guns and bike were out of commission, threatening to kill the Agent and Minervamon once they were fixed. While the Agent wanted to take the chance to kill Beelzebumon, Minervamon refused to do it, as she'd be unsatisfied with such a victory, so she offered to help Beelzebumon repair his equipment. Beelzebumon accepted their help and sent the parts needed to fix his guns and bike, namely one Iron Texture, to the Agent's Digivice. After obtaining the Iron Texture, Beelzebumon accepts to fight the Agent and Minervamon at 120% power and Mode Changes to his Blast Mode. However, rather than fighting in the Factorial Area, he brings the group to the High-Rise Colosseum so they can go all out.
Defeating Beelzebumon in combat lets Minervamon get over her admiration and focus on bettering herself. She also gains a newfound interest in the High-Rise Colosseum and wants to invite the rest to it, as well as have her next fight with the Agent there.
Minervamon, Apollomon and Dianamon crossed through Junomon's gate before the Agent did in "The Final Battle over the Natural Order". As such, they met in the area past that gate in the Akashic Records, Akashic Ragnarok. There, the trio kept fighting endless Megadramon copies coming from a hole, proof the Akashic Records had to be close. Minervamon ordered the duo to charge up their power and blow away the hole while the rest bought them time. She then acknowledged both of them had surpassed her already so no one else but them could do it. However, as soon as both had their attacks nearly ready, the group heard the roaring of a motorbike. Beelzebumon riding Behemoth then came out of the hole. The appearance of one of the Seven Great Demon Lords scared Apollomon and Dianamon but Minervamon told them to keep charging up as they could take care of a copy. Much like the real one, the copy Beelzebumon then entered its Blast Mode to fight the Agent, Aegiomon and Minervamon. During the fight, Minervamon can use Wind Claw III.
With Beelzebumon out of the way, Dianamon and Apollomon let loose their Arrow of Artemis and Phoebus Blow attacks, which destroyed the hole and opened the path forward. Dianamon was surprised at how strong they were and regretted not honing her skills further earlier, though as Apollomon pointed out, it wasn't late to do so as they still had to take down Chronomon. They both thanked Minervamon for getting them that far and swore to fight for her to repay her. Minervamon felt ambivalent about it, however, and told the Agent to prepare for the final battle while the trio protected the gate.
The Apostles of Iliad later united on Ceresmon's back. There, looking at Apollomon and Dianamon, Minervamon told the Agent how meeting them, the "egg thief", had helped her little siblings grow, but not herself, who failed to change and was now nothing but a cheerleader for them. Since before that, however, she was aware of how soft she was and that's why she volunteered to go to the human world, so she could be a warrior before being a sister and break out of her shell.
At the final fight against Chronomon, Minervamon is both the first and final guest ally in the battle, initially as her initial form. When Ceresmon, Apollomon and Dianamon were no longer able to fight, Minervamon evolved into Mervamon to show that she refuses to be left behind from her siblings.
