Skills/Talents:

A.J. is very intelligent when it comes to her schooling. She has a 3.8 GPA, but when it comes to street smarts, she is severely lacking. She also knows a few languages such as English, Italian(her 1st language), and German. She is at an intermediate level of speaking Japanese there since she had been studying before she moved there and had a tutor as well as becoming a Shibuya High School student. She is very knowledgeable about different customs in cultures. Also plays guitar very well.

Weaknesses: 

A.J is not very sports-minded and is rather clumsy when it comes to any physical activity. She's not unhealthy, rather just untrained and hates anything vigorous or physical. She has severe social anxiety when it comes to worrying about what people think about her. She has very weak relationship bonds because of moving so much.

Since traveling the Digital World and actually becoming stable in Shibuya, she has opened up quite a bit and become more open to having relationships, but she still suffers from her anxiety from time to time and still questions her ability to be a good tamer.

Quirks: 

Avery tends to slip Italian phrases when she is speaking agitated or excited She also has a habit of mixing her languages, like speaking in English, but saying something in Italian in between English words.

Personality: 

 A.J. is very much a sweet girl with a big heart.

Her personality has changed somewhat since moving to Japan. Since becoming Patch's tamer, she has opened up to new experiences. She has realized that it is okay to fight, even if you are going to get hurt. She has made new friends and became less socially anxious. While she is more friendly and open, she does still tend to keep a distance from people before she knows them, but warms up more quickly than before.

She has also matured extremely and will stand up to anyone who threatens her and her friends. She has really began to realize her abilities and to have more faith in herself, but she still struggles with the Crest of Wrath she wears.

She is very reliable. When she says she will be there for you, she means it and will go through hell and high water to keep her promises. Because of this drive to please people, she is very perseverant. While this is a fantastic trait and leads to her getting things done, she is easily hurt when she feels she has not lived up to the expectations of those around her. As an aftermath to rejection of any kind, she is extremely stubborn and resolved to do whatever it takes to finish the task at hand and make people happy.

She is attentive to people's wants and needs and how they react to certain situations. Because of her travels, she has learned much about cultures and certain customs. When she visits different places, she makes sure to obey those customs as she does not want to offend anyone. She rarely makes contact until she has obtained knowledge on customary interaction.

She is the best of both worlds when it comes to her personality. She has her father's methodical thinking about matters, making her very ritualized whether it be she is getting ready in the mornings or taking notes in a lecture. But she also has her mother's heart and compassion and artistic sense. However, she has retained her father's temper and impulsive behavior. She also tends to be rather indecisive and swings with whatever decision presents itself first.

Appearance:

Very little has changed about AJ in the few months that she has lived in Shibuya. Her hair has grown a little bit longer, but one noticable difference is that she has two "tattoos" of her crests. One is on the right collarbone and represents Faith. It pearlescent white and purple. It is comprised of a circle with two extensions. The second one is on her left collarbone and represents Wrath. It is red and fades into gold at the bottom. A black circle surrounds the design. It is a circle between two lines. 

But besides, this she is still fairly much the same. 

She stands about 5'2 in stature, a little bit on the short side for a girl her age, but this has never bothered her. She is petite, with a slight curve in her hips she has gained the last few years from developing into a young woman. A black curtain of hair flows past her shoulders to the small of her back with bangs fringing her face. Normally it is fairly straight, but it will curl in humidity. Her gray-blue eyes are wide, alert, and calculating; her nose is small, and her lips are little too thin for her taste. She wears a small layer of concealer on any breakouts, but that's about it for makeup. Her skin tone is medium in color, but because of her Italian heritage, she darkens easily in the sun. A pair of headphones are almost around her neck or on her person somewhere.

Outside of school, A.J. takes on a casual wardrobe, mostly t-shirts and jeans with a few skirts thrown in. There are times when she delves into her inner girly-girl and dresses up. She is almost always seen with her favorite shoes on, a pair of ratty converse that she has retained since 7th grade. Her parents however, do wish she would dress up more, especially for the social events they take part in.

When she visits the Digital World, her clothes change into a dark-grey tank top and jeans fastened with a belt. Boots adorn her feet and her right arm is covered with a leather sleeve that goes up to her shoulder, while the other arm is bare.

Personal History: 

Birth;;

Avery Joel Cipriano was born to her Italian father Adriano Cipriano and her Swiss mother Jacqueline Montavon Cipriano on a sunny, but cold afternoon in Lyon, France. But of course a bit of back story is needed to understand...

Adriano, an Italian embassador was in Geneva, Switzerland for a conference. There, he met A.J.'s mom who was a bartender in a local dive. Classic love story, blah blah blah. They got married and she went back to Italy. Two years later, Jacqueline became pregnant. While in Lyon, France on business, Jacqueline was rushed to the hospital when her water broke.

And so Avery Joel Cipriano was born to her...well you already knew that.

Childhood;;

So, a few years later as AJ grew, it was apparent that she was very smart, making mostly A's with the occasional B, but nonetheless her parents were very proud. As she traveled, she picked up languages easily, but her favorite language was that of music. Even though her parents immersed her in various cultures and she listened to plenty of classical music, she found herself loving American rock music.

Preteen;;

A.J. continued to travel and see many places, however, because she was always on the move, she never really had the chance to settle down and make friends or date, so became a bit more withdrawn each time they had to move. She longed for the boring life of public schools and afternoon activities that she saw many children engaging in.

When A.J. was 11, her family returned to her father's hometown of Florence, Italy so he could take care of his sick mother. They stayed there for about a year and a half until her grandmother passed away from a battle with cancer. During the course of that year and a half, she was allowed to attend a private school (only the best for his snookems--as her father would say). During this time, she made a few close friends and even formed a band, where she played guitar and back-up singer.

Of course, the time came when her father's job called again and she was forced to leave these friendships behind. She became resentful of her father's job, but reluctantly kept this inside of herself. She became quiter, but channeled her loneliness into her music, even playing a few minor concerts at different dives and parks when her family traveled.

Her family supported her music because they loved her, but did urge her to go to the galas and dances that all of the different embassies held. She would force a smile, put on a frilly dress, and go on.

Teen Years/Current;;

Now at age 15, they have been relocated to Shibuya, Japan.

It took a bit of adjusting to get used to Asian culture, but since AJ is very interested in different kinds of culture, she truly has embraced it. Her whole life changed when she found a strange device in the place of her calling card. It appeared to be trying to lead her to something. So setting out against her parent's knowledge, she raced through the streets of Shibuya and came across an egg. Soon enough, it hatched into YukimiBotamon. Being a new tamer, she didn't know much else except to take her new partner home.

She woke up the next morning to find that it had "digivolved" into a Nyaromon after she fed it. She named him Patch after she had to "patch him up" when he tried to bite her. She went about her business, feeding him and hiding him from her parents. One day while at a mall, AJ and Patch were attacked by a group of Gazimon. Patch fought, but was outnumbered. Thankfully, another couple of tamers and their Digimon were there to help. Patch was able to digivolve into Mikemon and help fight.

A few weeks later, while at a concert, Patch sensed a Digimon and confronted him, a Goblimon. When the Goblimon threatened AJ's safety, AJ was realized they had to be a team for them to defeat him. She earned her Crest of Faith and Patch was able to digivolve into Angemon.

It was not too soon after this that her father told AJ they might be moving out of the country. Stricken, she made a plan to steal away to the Digital World. Packing everything she could, they set out to Shibuya Terminal. After boarding a train, they found themselves in the heart of Terminus. After doing a quick side job, they set out to explore. They found themselves in a forest which was being attacked by Vikaralamon. This was where they learned of the Devas and their plan to take over the Digital World. 

Patch digivolves for the first time to Leomon and with the help of other various tames, they are able to stave off some of the boar's wild  rumblings, but the Deva disappeared without a trace. They continue traveling the Digital World, until AJ just decides it is time to go back home, thinking she has been gone for days. When they returned to the human world, she comes to find out they have only been gone a few hours and have enough time to make it back home before they get caught.

The next morning, she confronts her parents that she does not want to move and wants a stable home, even with the knowledge that they will still probably have to move. Her parents admit that they are tired of moving as well, and her father says he will make an attempt to find a permanent job. This allows AJ to enroll in Shibuya High School.

AJ continued studying Japanese, going to school, doing homework, and traveling to the Digital World during her free time as well as playing music occasionally down town. They fought Sandrimon at Whitewater City, where Patch digivolved again to his ultimate level, SaberLeomon, but the city was left in shambles.

After this battle, they set out to train and continue reaching their levels. One day, they had a fight and Patch ran away. Falling asleep for a nap, AJ woke up in a very dark place. She fought through the dream and found her Crest of Wrath, but was also left with a warning of a sleeping darkness inside of herself. 

When she awoke, Patch had returned and their friendship was reconciled.

They continued adventuring around the Digital World, re-encountering various tamers and Digimon and continuing to battle with the ones they had become very close. Since the battle with Sandrimon, it seemed that Patch was not able to obtain his SaberLeomon form again and this began to frustrate her partner very much so as a resort they began to use his armor-ultimate form more frequently, but it seemed that the more they used it, the more something was just off about Patch. AJ could just sense something different about her partner.
