digimon

Tinkermon is a Fairy Digimon. It is always snuggling up to Petermon, and it does its best to work with Petermon in building "Never-Ever Land", a world of children. It bounces around in the best of moods when it is with Petermon, but if it's ignored, then it will angrily strike Petermon and then fly off somewhere. After that, it is happy to come looking for Petermon and meekly receive pampering. Tinkermon's wings shine, and because there is a change in the strength of the radiance when it is tense, looking at the wings' radiance is considered a good way to suss out Tinkermon's mood. It applies a paralytic nail polish to its sharply pointed, poisoned lance and nails, and if one mocks its tiny appearance, they'll suffer a massive retaliation.[2]

Digimon Seekers ~Wall Slum's Nightmare~

A Tinkermon was one of the Digimon Soundbirdmon and its tamer became friends with during their time in the Digital World. After seeing the corpses of the discarded Digimon that humans had grown bored of, she decided that humans were stupid and that she too was a human — and thus was stupid. These thoughts conflicted with her memories of making friends with Digimon, causing her to have a mental breakdown — which caused her VR headset to malfunction, putting her into DMIA.
