As one of the three Angel Digimon chosen to govern the Digital World, Ophanimon
was given the Spirits of Fire, Thunder and Ice. She was responsible for the
nurturing of the Digital World, preserving all life and love, until Cherubimon was
corrupted by Lucemon's darkness. When Cherubimon attacked Seraphimon and Ophanimon,
Ophanimon surrendered to Cherubimon, on condition that he spare Seraphimon's life.
Trapped in the villain's Castle of Darkness at Rose Morning Star (known as the
Venus Rose in the Japanese version), she managed to summon many kids in Tokyo to
take the Trailmon to the Digital World, where five became the Legendary Warriors.
She was freed by the kids, only to sacrifice herself to get the D-Tectors back from
Cherubimon when she attempted (and failed) to purify Cherubimon. Using the last of
her power, she upgraded both Takuya and Koji's D-Tectors so that, together, both
of them could use all the spirits to become EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon. A
short time later, after the DigiDestined ended up on the moon, Patamon found
Ophanimon's Digi-Egg, which hatched into Salamon. She is named after the Ophan.
