She remembers being young and naïve: a Tamer like all the rest and trying to reach the top…except she'd never been like all the others, had she?

She still doesn't know what about her made them flag her file. Maybe she's a science lab baby but that's a dreary thought and it doesn't even matter, because she remembers barely anything until the Normal Tamers Tournament that Grimmon crashes.

Not that it's particularly clear at the time. First it's the digimon acting weird on their training grounds. Then the figure in the red cloak hijacking the introductions - and Chief Glare and Koh are more than happy to pretend they've never met her before and she lets them because she doesn't know any better at the time.

And then there's the mess with the gates that puts a stopper on the tournaments - after she's got a pretty trophy to her name, of course.

Coincidence, she thinks at the time.

Not, she knows now. Definitely not.
