Sora Takenouchi

Sora Takenouchi (武之内 空 Takenouchi Sora?) is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02 and Digimon Adventure tri. She is a DigiDestined, partnered with Biyomon, and the bearer of the Crest of Love.

Appearance
Sora is a lightly tanned skinned girl with orange hair and marroon eyes. Her hair was initially chin-length, but eventually reached to her shoulders, resembling a bob. At the end of tri., she cuts her hair short.

Sora usually wears the Odaiba Middle School uniform; a green and white sailor fuku with a blue neckerchief, white stockings, and dull blue shoes with white soles. When playing tennis, she wears a white T-shirt with blue vertical lines on the front, back and the border of the collar and a yellow triangle on the left side of the chest, light gray wristbands on her hands, a short white skirt, striped panties of undetermined color, white socks and sneakers with light blue and light pink lines on them.

During summer, she wears a pink T-shirt with a yellow oval with light purple borders with two pointy tips, and the word "circle" in the chest. She also wears a wine-colored skirt, white socks, and gray and cerulean sneakers, Ghost of a Chance while in the winter, she wears a yellow sweater under a blue hooded coat with a white ruff in the hood, two pockets and three dark blue buttons, a pink scarf, turquoise gloves, a purple skirt, brown stockings, and turquoise boots with white soles.

Personality
Sora is kind, responsable, caring and protective with her first instinct being to try and help others in any way she can, much like a mother. Sora will not turn someone down when they need help, even at the cost of her own well-being. As a preteen, she is a bit tomboyish, from the way she dresses to her hobbies. She starts out low self esteem, believing herself to be unloved and criticizing herself for not being able to help her friends. Throughout her adventures in the Digital World, Sora realizes that she is loved and realizes how appreciated she is thanks to her friends. She eventually embraces her femininity, and is much more confident and laid back as a teenager.

Sora's father, Haruhiko Takenouchi, works away from home at Kyoto University, so she is primarily raised by her mother, Toshiko Takenouchi. The two initially didn't have a very good relationship, but it improves once Sora realizes how much her mother cares for her.

Sora is childhood friends with Tai Kamiya, who attended the same class at the same school as her in Highton View Terrace and plays in the soccer club with her.

In Digimon Adventure tri., Sora is often seen as a mediator between both Tai and Matt when they were arguing. She is also a very brave person when she faces a disguised Ken Ichijouji as the Digimon Emperor who later revealed himself as Dark Gennai who causes the infected Digimon to take rampage in the city and its reboot while he attempts to steal her Digivice. She also is shown to have a more motherly side, as she continually checks on her friends, and make sure they are all well.

Between 2006 and 2010, Sora dedicated herself to the art of Ikebana.
