Perceptive, serious, and resourceful female leads who are widely admired for their intellect and talents. However, they both also take part in secret battles alongside a non-human partner, who they command to fight others of the same species, Servants and Digimon respectively. Compared to the main heroes, who just recently obtained their respective partners, they're much more experienced and competitive, even trying to kill their partners in order to make their own stronger. While they reluctantly allied themselves with the main heroes, they were often hostile and dismissive of them, and they usually got into arguments with them over how to handle certain enemies. Eventually, they learned to respect the main characters and work with them as equals. Their partners, Archer and Renamon, are tall and mysterious fighters who prefer to hide in the shadows when not in combat. Neither of them really cared for their human masters at first, only seeing them as a means to get stronger, though they grew to care for them as true partners over time. While Rin uses magic to fight and Archer is a spirit powered by mana, Rika fights by using technology-based cards and Renamon is made of computer data, giving the fight a Magic vs. Technology theme.
