In depth
O.U.T.S.I.D.E.
Juri (Jeri) is just a sweet innocent 10 (13) year old who has no idea what is going on. She dislikes fighting and at first it seems she doesn't like digimon, but in truth she has a whole pack of cards in her backpack and is searching for someone to help her play. She seems very passive yet always willing to help. She always has a smile and her face and tends to look on the bright side. She thinks Guilmon is cute and is classmates with Takato Matsuda (Matsuki). She's plays with her sock puppet as if it were real, I know it's a little weird: but you say weird as if it was a bad thing. She is always nice and loves to able to help.
I.N.S.I.D.E.
Juri isn't all that happy on the inside, she carries the smile on a mask. She has a dark side- a depressed side. It's revealed after Leomon died, and she hardly smiles after that. At first it seems that she is only sad about Leomon's death but it turns out it is much more then that. After her mom died Juri was never the same and she never let her new step-mom in her life. Because of this she feels like she is an awful person, not kind at all. And it doesn't help that her father acts cold-hearted and never shows his feelings to Juri. She feels like it is her fault that Leomon died because she feels like she is weak and wasn't meant to be a tamer.
She even thinks that her destiny is to be alone forever because her mother and Leomon were probably the closest people to her. She later gets kidnapped by D-Reaper and cloned. She stays inside the D-Reaper as the power source and remains inactive because the D-Reaper has warped her mind. There she is tortured mentally while J-Reaper takes her place. She even tried to strange herself to death with her sock puppet but thankfully Calumon stopped her.
I believe she feels worthless inside because of her weakness. I don't think she gets a lot of attention from her father making her feel like dirt which was one of the reasons she first wanted to become a tamer. To feel like she was something.
E.N.D.
At the end she finally sticks up for herself. Desperate to save Calumon she breaks free and confronts the D-Reaper. She finally understands what destiny is all about and how Leomon never meant that her destiny is not to be alone. Then she says, “It’s time for me to do something other then cry!” My favorite quote. Juri is now a tough kickbutt girl! She breaks the gate keeper but chaos leaks in, luckily Calumon saves her. Soon after the whole ordeal is over she is back to her normal happy self. And for some reason she has her puppet back.
T.A.M.E.R.
At first as you read she was passive and wasn't much of a tamer fighter. However as time moves on you see that she really changes to a quite capable one, although she never got to get to her get to her full extent because she was still learning when Leomon died.
Her modify cards are suppose to be some of the best, from what Hirokazu (Kazu) and Kenta said. She learned how to play from the Digiqueen herself, and actually became quite good at it as is shown in epi. 31: Kazu's upgrade. She manages to defeat Orochimon, who's strength was up because she fed him so much "milkshakes" (yeah right- it was an alcoholic drink), by using her ladydevimon card.
