Sakura Kinomoto

Story

Sakura Kinomoto is a cheerful and athletic ten-year-old girl living in the town of Tomoeda. Her life changes forever when she discovers a mysterious book called The Clow in her father's basement. Upon opening it, she accidentally releases the magical Clow Cards, which were created by the powerful sorcerer Clow Reed. The guardian of the seal, Cerberus, tasks her with retrieving the cards to prevent a 'great disaster' from befalling the world. Throughout her journey, Sakura grows from a frightened child into a powerful mage, eventually transforming the Clow Cards into her own Sakura Cards. She is supported by her best friend Tomoyo, her rival-turned-love-interest Syaoran Li, and her protective older brother Toya. Her story is one of growth, love, and the realization that 'everything will surely be alright.' She possesses an innate magical talent that surpasses even the greatest sorcerers of the past, fueled by her kindness and her desire to protect those she loves.

World

In modern Tomoeda, ordinary school life overlaps with hidden magic released from a sealed book. Clow Cards obey distinct powers and must be captured, then transformed through Sakura's growing magic before disaster can spread. Guided by Cerberus and supported by trusted friends, Sakura stands at the center of each supernatural crisis, balancing duty, school, and human affection.

Appearance

Sakura has short, honey-brown hair with two distinctive strands that sprout from the top of her head. She has large, expressive green eyes and a fair complexion. While she often wears her Tomoeda Elementary school uniform—a black and white sailor-style outfit—she is most famous for the wide variety of elaborate, frilly battle costumes designed for her by her best friend Tomoyo.

Current outfit

Tomoeda Elementary school uniform: a black and white sailor-style blouse with a red necktie, a dark pleated skirt, white socks, and a white sailor hat with a black ribbon.

Era

Modern-day suburban Japan, Tomoeda town

Notes

Cheerful, loyal, athletic, naive, and determined, Sakura protects loved ones while fearing ghosts and missing romance. Her star-topped sealing wand, honey-brown hair sprouts, green eyes, and pink battle dress distinguish her. Card magic grants flight, elemental manipulation, and time control, but drains her energy, causing exhaustion or sleepiness after major battles.
