*** Paris Team ***

February 2001: First five are called to the Digital World to defeat 
the fallen angel, Pidmon, who absorbs the data of massacred Digimon.  

December 2002: French team is reunited with their Digimon partners 
in time to help with the Christmas invasion of '02.  Digi-Destined 
from Italy also help with the Paris Invasion.

March 2003: Floramon, Elecmon, Gostumon, Mushmon and Gazimon come to 
the real world to be closer to their partners.

April 2004: Three new members are added to the team as Digimon begin 
to open portals in Paris, leading to a battle shadowed in dark revenge.



Ellen Belvoir 

Born: 1993 
Received partner: 2004 

Nationality: French 
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Black

Growing up in a broken home has given Ellen a thicker layer of skin 
than most kids her age.  A lot of people view her as jaded, but Ellen 
could really care less about their opinions.  Only when she gets really 
angry or frustrated will she react, and then aggressively.  The divorce 
of Ellen's parents is a taboo topic among the Parisian Digi-Destined.  
She doesn't talk about it, so neither does her teammates.  

Ellen is the only member of the French team who is fluent in English, 
so if the French team ever runs into another team that doesn't speak 
French but has a member that speaks relatively good English Ellen is 
automatically drafted as translator.  Her skill with English comes from 
the inordinate amount of time she spends visiting her mother and 
step-family in Massachusetts. 

Skills: 
Fluent in English and French, learns languages easily. 
Arguing.
Self-defense (she's taken a few self-defense classes in the States).

Digimon: 
Poromon - Hawkmon - Cockatrimon

Voice Actor :
Ellen: Rachel Lillis (Misty, US Version, Pokemon)
Hawkmon: Debbi Derribery (Yugi, US Voice, Shin Tenchi Muyo! aka 
Tenchi in Tokyo)



Rene LaSalle 

Born: 1993 
Received partner: 2004 

Nationality: French 
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown

Laid back and easy going, Rene always prefers to roll with the punches.  
He's hardly shown any displays of temper, publicly at least.  He finds 
almost perverse enjoyment in listening to Ellen's attempts at baiting 
him and knowing she probably never will get a rise out of him.  In the 
same respect, Rene is also able to give as good as he gets. 

Although he would never admit it, Rene holds a lot of respect for his 
pseudo-opponent Ellen.  He wouldn't go so far as to call what he feels 
about her a crush, since he doesn't believe that he's ready for a 
relationship of that caliber and might not be ready for one for some 
time.        

Skills: 
Math.
Geography. 
Debating.

Digimon: 
Koromon - Snow Agumon - Hyogamon

Voice Actor :
Rene: Joshua Seth (Tai Kamiya, US Voice, Digimon 01)
Snow Agumon: 



Genevieve Riveare 

Born: 1995 
Received partner: 2004 

Nationality: French 
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Red

In 2003 Genevieve lost her mother to cancer of the brain.  She 
still mourns for her mother, as does her father.  Genevieve holds 
her father in high regard and finds it difficult to keep secrets 
from him, leading him to become one of the first _real_ allies 
for the Paris Team and giving them an almost-official headquarters 
in the form of the hotel.

So far Genevieve has the most unique living arrangement of all of 
the Paris Digi-Destined.  Her father, Louie Riveare, is the 
proprietor of a bed and breakfast in Paris called, appropriately, 
the Rose of Paris.  She has a penchant for telling stories, and 
the customers at the bed and breakfast enjoy having her around.

Because of her mother's death Genevieve is extremely adverse to 
killing, about to the point that Mimi is.  She's actually physically 
restrained Lopmon in battle, for fear that she will either kill or 
be killed.  

Skills: 
Being a mediator (she gets a _lot_ of practice with Ellen and Rene)
Listening.
Story-telling. 

Digimon: 
Chocomon - Lopmon - Prairiemon

Voice Actor :
Genevieve: Stephanie Beard (Chibiusa Tsukino, US Version, Sailor 
Moon S and SuperS)
Lopmon: Michelle Ruff (Lopmon, US Version, Digimon Tamers)



Catherine Ducharme
Flower of the West 
Born: 1991 
Received partner: 2001 

Nationality: French 
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde

Petite, polite, charming and pretty, Catherine is the very image 
of a debutante.  As her parents are well-to-do, she's been raised 
to appreciate the finer things in life.  While she used to look 
down her nose at people who were of a lower class than she was, 
her career as a Digi-destined made her look more at personality 
than social status before judging someone.

Catherine is also very good at dispelling the "blonde" myth.  
There are times when she will act like the stereotypical ditz, 
but for the most part she is a very intelligent person.  She will 
only turn to killing if it's the only option she has in defeating 
an opponent on the battlefield.  

Skills: 
Quick with figures, although not to the extent of Rene. 

Digimon: 
Tanemon - Floramon - Kiwimon - Piximon [late-2004]

Voice Actor :
Catherine: Philece Sampler (Catherine, US Version, Digimon 02)
Floramon: 



Joan LaSalle

Born: 1991 
Received partner: 2001 

Nationality: French 
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown

Joan is a bit on the tidy side, although saying she is a neat 
freak would be a little extreme.  She can't stand seeing things, 
especially her own belongings, not being in their proper place.  
She has the distinction of being Rene LaSalle's older sister, 
and like any good sibling rags on him as much as she can.    

Skills: 
Cleaning.

Digimon: 
Tsunomon - Elecmon - Kentarumon 

Voice Actor:
Joan: 
Elecmon: 


Paul Renard

Born: 1991 
Received partner: 2001 

Nationality: French
Eyes: Green
Hair: Black 

Paul's one great love in life is sports.  No matter what season it 
is in school, Paul is always involved in some athletic extracurricular 
or another.  Gotsumon is the perfect teammate because he's got "a 
real hard head." Paul's claim to fame on the battlefield is his 
improvisation with battle tactics, especially ones that resemble 
sports plays. His other teammates think he's trying to show off for 
Catherine, on whom he has a rather large crush. 

Skills: 
Sports/athletics.
Improvisation.

Digimon: 
Motimon - Gotsumon - J Mojamon

Voice Actor:
Paul: Brian Donovan (Daisuke Motomiya, US Version, Digimon 02)
Gotsumon: Steve Blum (Guilmon, US Version, Digimon Tamers)  



Gerard Savignon
The Observer

Born: 1990 
Received partner: 2001 

Nationality: French 
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Dirty blonde

Any and all information about the Parisian Digi-Destined is kept 
by Gerard, for historical and reference purposes.  He's very 
organized and thorough, which makes him very good at this sort of 
thing.  Gerard's ambition is to someday become a famous writer 
and sees writing down the accounts of the Paris team's battles and 
such as good practice for that sort of thing. 

Skills: 
Organization.
Writing.

Digimon: 
Pyocomon - Mushmon - Veggiemon  

Voice Actor:
Gerard: (Osamu Ichijouji, US Version, Digimon 02)
Mushmon: 



Colette L'Arwall

Born: 1991 
Received partner: 2001 

Nationality: French 
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Blonde

Down-to-earth, Colette likes to keep things realistic.  When 
everyone else is imagining worst-case scenarios, Colette always 
tries to keep a positive outlook.  Coming from a large family, 
she is always searching for ways to make herself useful on the 
team, the same as she does at home.  She especially likes to 
help Gerard with the team files, since she has a bit of a crush 
on him.

Colette is the only member of the first Paris team to have had 
her Digivice upgraded to a D-3.   

Skills: 
Being helpful.
Being positive.

Digimon: 
Pagumon - Gazimon - Lynxmon 

Voice Actor:
Colette: Rebecca Forstadt (Hanmyo, US Version, Outlaw Star)
Gazimon: Melissa Fahn (Gaz, Invader Zim)




Mr. Takaishi
'Grandpa'

Born: 1956

Nationality: French

As a young lad of thirteen, Mr. Takaishi had fallen in love with the daughter of the then Japanese ambassador. When she became pregnant, he found himself shuttled off to Japan with her and promptly married. He was forced to take her name in marriage, but he didn't care for he was in love.

His wife gave birth to a daughter, Natsuko Nancy Takaishi. Natsuko also happens to be the mother of Takeru Takaishi and Yamato Ishida of the Odaiba group.

Life in Japan was difficult for the new Mr. Takaishi who found that he preferred the open hostility many French have for foreigners far more than the Japanese hidden disgust. Being a young father and husband did not help his situation at all. When he finished high school, he took to having odd jobs that allowed him to travel away from home.

While Takaishi loved his wife, their marriage was far from a happy one. It would've ended in divorce had she not steadfastly refused to go through one siting their responsibility to their daughter. Shortly after Natsuko got married, his wife died of illness. Having no reason to remain in Japan, Takaishi returned to his home town of Paris but has kept his wife's name out of respect for her.
