Kari's Missing Hope (a Digimon Fanfiction Audio Drama)
J&T for Iori "Cody" Hida
Cody is the youngest of the newer Digidestined, but despite that he is very mature and thinks things through. He is the most serious, and always conducts himself with a maturity that is far beyond his years. A lot of his wisdom comes from his grandfather, who has been the sole masculine figure in his life ever since his father died. In the beginning, his worldview is very black-and-white, as befitting a child, which leads him to be very stubborn and to be rather hard on people. Later on, throughout his adventures as a DigiDestined, he realizes the error of his ways and gradually softens in nature, having understood that it was utterly impossible for reality and people to be as black-and-white as he once firmly believed them to be.
My benchmark on Cody is that of Philece Sampler's performance. In the audio drama I did back then, Melissa Sternenberg did an exceptional job as Cody, so I'm seeking a striking resemblance of both.
(a bit of a snarky response to Yolei's question about Gotsumon as art pieces) "Don't worry. I'll tell him I'm taking a sculpting class and these are some of my early masterpieces."
(feeling like he is sidelined) "I feel... I should be out there helping the others."
(staying by Kari as she recovers from a Digimon attack) "Yeah. You two got blasted hard. You'd be worm food if Halsemon hadn't recovered quickly and caught you."
