(color online) Snapshots of phase-fields for motile multiple cells including one tagged cell and other normal cells for |v_a| = 0.3 at different elasticity ratios γ_tag / γ_normal (a) 0.4, (b) 1.1, and (c) 1.9, where the time interval between each snapshot is 50 and a small value (0.1) is added into the phase-field variable for tagged cell to distinguish the tagged cell from the normal cell.
