SAKURA KINOMOTO

A cheerful fourth-grader whose ordinary life ends the moment she opens the Clow Book in her father's study and accidentally scatters its magical cards across Tomoeda. Chosen by Cerberus to retrieve them, Sakura grows from a frightened beginner into a remarkably instinctive magic user, learning that capturing a card usually requires understanding what it is doing rather than simply overpowering it. She is athletic, kind, terrible at hiding her feelings around Yukito, and stubbornly convinced that even the strangest crisis can somehow be made all right. That optimism is not decorative. Again and again, it becomes the reason Sakura succeeds where a colder magician might not.
