Meiko Defense Week Day 1: Favorite Trait

Meiko has heart.

Even when the odds seem to perpetually be stacked against her, and she sometimes feels incapable of fighting and continuing on, she still does.

It may be after a period of weakness, and self-doubt, but in the end, Meiko has shown how good her heart is by picking herself up again in whatever way she can for the benefit of Meicoomon. She loves her partner dearly even though Meicoomon can be dangerous and has caused so much trouble for Meiko and her new friends, but tries her hardest to get through to Meicoomon and show her that she cares despite all of the trouble.

You can’t help but feel for Meiko being in this situation and yet still trying so hard to save the friend she loves with all of her heart. It takes heart to do that. And Meiko has a true, good heart.

Meiko Defense Week Day 6: Hopes for the Future

I decided to treat this prompt pretty loosely and drew another drawing with Meiko in it that takes place in the Digimon Adventure fic I’m co-writing with my best friend that happens two years after tri ends. In this one, Meiko and Meicoomon are joined by one of my two Digimon OCs Kyra and her partner Viximon.

In my fanon, Meiko and Kyra form a quick bond starting from the very beginning of tri. Although it grows at a slow pace it ends up being a very unique considering what Meiko's journey after tri involves. I just mostly wanted to take advantage of an opportunity to draw the duo together, and share some vague content from our fan project. ❤

Meiko Defense Week Day 2: Favorite Relationship      

I know that Meiko and Koushiro haven’t really interacted at all in Digimon tri itself but one day I got thinking about them and I realized that I think it could really work and they could be really sweet together?!?? I also like the idea of Meimi and Meikeru too because of what we’ve been given of them in tri, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to draw these two together OKAY ;3; ❤ 

The outfits are original ones I created for them for a Digimon fanfiction I’m co-writing with my best friend that takes place two years after tri. They may or may not change in the future but for now I'm content.

Meiko Defense Week Day 5: Favorite Outfit

I’d say my favourite outfit of Meiko’s is the one from this coaster. I just really like how it looks over all, and I think the colour suits her nicely. Plus I love the boots she’s wearing with this outfit too. I’m a sucker for boots, ngl.

Meiko Defense Week: Day Five: Hopes for the Future

This might be a long one. If you’re reading this, thank you for being willing to hear me ramble! I hope you have a great day if you read  this or not. Anyways, on to Meiko and the future. My biggest “issue” doesn’t have anything to do with Meiko herself. She as a character is (in my opinion) a great addition to the team. My issue is with time constraints. Meiko has to cram nearly two seasons worth of character development into small moments in most of the films, and a larger roll in the the next one up. That’s difficult to do, even from a writing standpoint. Some writers can do it, but largely (in my personal experiences writing) you either hit a metaphorical wall and end up leaving most details out, or you do an info dump and throw so much information that the characters don’t really get to do anything other than hear the information being told to them. If we had more than 1-2 films left, I’d have more confidence that Meiko would get more time to naturally mesh with the gang, but unless they’re hiding a Tri 02 up their sleeves, I don’t see that happening. So, what are my hopes for Meiko? Well, I hope that she continues to grow, learn, own up to her mistakes, and to have and be what she always wanted  (and is, in my opinion as a fellow introvert) to be: a good friend. Side note, I have no idea what’s going to happen with the Epilogue from 02. I’d try and think of good ways to mesh them together, but...today’s not that day for me. XD And to those of you that read my ramble, you have my sincere thanks. I won’t ask or insist you love or hate Meiko, I just hope that in reading this you enjoyed it. As for me, I’m going to do my best to love our newcomer Digidestined. Do what I wish others had done for me years ago, and what some of you all do for me now. Ah, and the biggest of thank yous to @mochizukimeimei for setting the Meiko Defense Week up! I did my best to learn more about her and I’ve come to enjoy her as a character a lot more than I expected!
