Orimoto Izumi

Evolution

 * Hybrid: Fairymon, Shutumon, Susanoomon

Profile
Orimoto Izumi is a Chosen Child, chosen by Ofanimon to inherit the Legendary Spirits of Wind. The only female of the group, she is a spunky and opinionated girl, the kind of person who doesn't go with the crowd, preferring to stick to her ideals. She is an open person who always speaks her mind, sometimes to the point of unintentionally insulting and alienating others. She is aware of Shibayama Junpei's crush on her, and though she thinks of him as a good friend, she doesn't return his feelings.

Izumi was born in Japan, but she moved to Italy with her family when she was younger. The family lived there for two years, in which Izumi found herself fitting in, becoming fluent in Italian and even learning how to make Italian foods. However, as she returned to Tokyo, she found herself unable to understand the Japanese social codes and fit in, something her outspoken personality did not help. As a result, she was shunned by her classmates, and became quite lonely.

Digimon Frontier
Izumi received Ofanimon's message while she was baking a pizza at home. Thinking that it sounded like an adventure, she traveled to Shibuya Station and boarded a Trailmon with Kanbara Takuya, Shibayama Junpei, and Himi Tomoki. She was at odds with Takuya at first, but she found her place on the team quickly. When they tried to help a group of Floramon living in Breezy Village, she found her Human Spirit of Wind, evolving into Fairymon.

After running away from the Evil Warriors, a Whamon that helped the children brought them to a beach. There, they were tricked by a group of Toucanmon who were working for Ranamon, and stole the boys' D-Scanners while they were swimming. Izumi, who hadn't managed to change into her swimsuit yet, was the only one with a D-Scanner, and had to protect the boys when Ranamon Slide Evolved into Calmaramon. It was only thanks to Calmaramon's lack of control over her own Beast Spirit that they managed to escape unharmed. The Toucanmon flew to another island, when when the children wanted to cross, a group of Gomamon stopped them and told them it was no use due to whirlpools. The children decided to try and get by the whirlpools using a makeshift raft, but Calmaramon attacked them again. Izumi evolved and tried to stop her, but she was no match and was thrown into a whirlpool. However, she found the Beast Spirit of Wind in a shell underwater, and used it to evolve into Shutumon. As she was able to control her Beast Spirit, she fought Calmaramon off easily and the children were able to get to the other island with ease.
