Your Character
Full name: Sakura Aiano Myrnia
Nicknames: Myra, Aino, Kuri
Race: Shape shifter (Really half shape shifter, half wizard but classified as a Shapeshifter because of the unusual ability her powers take - like magical shape shifting.)
Blood type: AB-
Weapons used in battle: Sakura’s has a deck of Cards which she keeps on her at all times called the Clow Cards. These cards are like spirits of powers trapped in card from which only Sakura can
release and use. She suspects that her Clow Cards came from the fact that she is half-shapeshifter and half-wizard, which Sakura think may of made her powers to change as well. There are disadvantages though. The main one is that each Card has a different personality and therefore have to be dealt with in a different way. Some Card’s spirits are loyal and can be told what to do, other are mischievous and have to be kept firmly under control and others are violent and almost impossible to control at any time unless you constantly watch it. Along with this each card has a different way of being summoned. Some Cards you only have to call out their name, others you just have to draw, some you have to trace a symbol on the back and others she has to ask to summon. Another disadvantage is that some Clow Cards have to be focused on continuously for them to work, like The Shield which also means that the strength of the magic depends on the strength of Sakura’s will. Others like The Dark or The Glow can be summoned and then left to their own accord. A few of the other disadvantages is that it is impossible to use to many cards at once or cards that Contradict each other like The Dark and The Light being used together. Using two Clow Cards is harder then using one and with each new card that is summoned along with others they all get harder to use. Some Clow Cards Sakura has never used to date for fear of their power, others she uses almost everyday. The back of all the Clow Cards looks like this:
Here is a list of the Clow Cards:
The Arrow
The Arrow is an attack card capable of creating and firing a continuous stream of magical arrows. When used it resembles the Shot Card but fires a volley rather than a single homing shot. In its visible form Arrow is blue-purplish girl with a pudding basin haircut and two long pigtails. Arrow carries a short bow. The Arrow is an attack card with an aggressive temperament.
The Big
The Big card has the power to grow any person or object in size. Its physical form is that of a tall woman, dressed like a medieval princess with a divided hennin. Big is almost an exact copy of its sister card, The Little, except for color and height.
The Bubbles
As its name suggests, Bubbles is a mass of soap bubbles. On its card, Bubbles appears as a young little mermaid girl wearing a blue gem necklace along with some pearls tied around her bubbly head. She is under Watery.
The Change
The Change is able to do things involving change. The Change can instantly swap two objects or the midn and bodies of two people. This swapping can only occur once a day, and if a change is not reverted after some time, it becomes permanent. The Change appears as a chameleon-like creature on the card.
The Cloud
The Cloud creates thick clouds all over the sky which it can move however it pleases. Like Rain, it has a gentle and playful personality and is more mischievous than combative.
The Create
The Create is able to give existence to anything written in its visible form, a mostly blank storybook. There is no limit as to what can be brought to life, provided the writer keeps Create opened and filled with ideas. It can also give the writer inspirations. Created life forms can interact with their surroundings, both benevolently and malevolently. However, its power is only active at night.
The Dark
The Dark is able to warp space, creating darkness that can isolate and nullify non-magical beings if given enough time. The Dark is special in that it cannot be physically attacked. Dark can only be defeated by The Light. The Dark's visible form is a regal woman draped in black with straight ebony hair. On its Card, it clutches a crescent moon in one hand, and a star in the other.
The Dash
The Dash is able to run at supernatural speeds for short distances and it can also run at faster speeds for long distances. It can grant this ability to others as well. Dash's visible form is a blue, fox-like creature with long rabbit ears.
The Dream
The Dream is able to create all sorts of dreams, including prophetic ones for those with magical powers. Though it is not aggressive or malicious, dealing with it can be difficult, as it is relatively undetectable when one does not know it is nearby. One of Dream's visible forms is a mysterious blue butterfly. Another form is a female humanoid dressed in flowing robes and an elaborate headdress that covers its eyes, perhaps indicating its status as a blind prophet.
The Earthy
The Earthy is capable of considerable property destruction by creating earthquakes and various other geological disturbances. As one of the four elementals it is perhaps the most powerful of the Clow Cards. However, in accordance with the Chinese balance of five elements, it is vulnerable to Wood. Earthy's visible form is a giant serpentine pile of earth and rock. Or it appears as the woman depicted on the Card.
The Erase
The Erase has the power to make almost anything, including people, disappear. Erase also has the power to erase magical elements. Once something has been erased by Erase it can be returned when Sakura regains control of the card but, if that person or object is gone for too long, it disappears permanently. Erase often appears as a bank of grayish fog, but its visible form is a small imp dressed in a yellow-and-white-patterned court jesters outfit. It has a large ruff around its neck with a long hat with two points that trail almost to the ground. On the Card, it carries a cape posed as if to hide something -- similar to how magicians use capes during a magic trick.
The Fight
The Fight is an accomplished martial artist who lives for the challenge of seeking new opponents for her skills. Calling on Fight allows its caster to gain great fighting skills. In its visible form, Fight resembles a teenage girl with cropped shoulder length hair and four ponytails, two long and two short. She wears a blue leotard with white trimmings and a pair of blue and white thigh-length boots.
The Firey
The Firey is one of the elemental cards. The Firey is an opposite of The Watery. The Firey resembles an angel covered with flames.
The Float
The Float, as its name implies, likes to make things float. Float is a mischievous spirit, but it is also quite gentle and is easy for Sakura to control. Float's visible form resembles a large balloon with white wings.
The Flower
The Flower has a gentle and fun loving spirit, able to create any kind of flower or blossom. However, she sometimes does this a little too enthusiastically, once nearly burying Sakura's school underneath a mountain of flower petals. Though Flower has no offensive capability, Sakura has used it to create bouquets and blossoms as presents for others. Flower's visible form is a young lady in a long flowing pink dress, with corkscrew pigtails and a flower pattern on her forehead. On its card, it appears to be holding a large blossom.
The Fly
The Fly is the first Clow Card that Sakura managed to use properly and perfectly. It has since become Sakura's most used card. When activated it adds large wings to Sakyra back that allow her and at least one other passenger to fly. Fly resembles a giant white bird with a long neck and short beak.
The Freeze
The Freeze is able to freeze things, emit ice as a weapon, and lower the temperature of a localized area to freezing point (and possibly beyond it). It is very crafty when using its abilities in combat, such as attacking with frozen glaciers or attacking targets from behind with pillars of ice. Freeze's visible form resembles a giant goldfish-like creature seemingly composed of ice.
The Glow
The Glow is one of the harmless cards, as its only power is the ability to create hundreds of tiny glowing orbs that resemble fireflies. When enacting its power, Glow casts off hundreds of tiny softly glowing green orbs that float down slowly to the ground like flower petals. In its visible form, it resembles a tiny fairy that has a glowing tail like a firefly.
The Hope
The Hope Card shows a young girl with an expression of happiness on her face instead of sorrow from The Nothing. She is embracing the winged heart that was pictured on the nameless card. The Hope exists only to give hope to those that need it most. Like The Nameless Card is is only a pink card instead of gold for some reason.
The Illusion
The Illusion is an aggressive card (reasons for this behavior are unknown) capable of creating an illusion based on whatever the viewer expects to see or wants to see. This means that each person will see something different when viewing the illusion unless they are all thinking of the same thing at the same time. Usually this illusion takes the form of whatever the person is most afraid of, though it has been known to take the form of whatever is most significant in a person's mind at the time. Illusion can change its form based on what the watcher expects to see, but while transitioning between forms, it resembles a kaleidoscope pattern.
The Jump
The Jump is one of Sakura's most used cards along with The Windy and The Fly. While Fly is often used for long-distance travel, Jump is used for evasion when battling a Clow Card entity. When summoned Jump appears as pair of wings on Sakura's ankles and allows her not only to jump great distances but also to land safely from falls that would otherwise kill her. In its visible form, Jump resembles a rather strange looking stuffed pink rabbit with long floppy ears, in its card form The Jump has a pair of wings.
The Libra
The Libra is able to determine whether a person is lying or not. The Libra Card shows a pan-scale, one side holding a sun and the other holding a moon. Libra's form is reminiscent of the astrological sign of Libra. The idea of the scale is also used as a symbol of justice and truth.
The Light
The Light is able to bring light to any area, also able to turn night into day. Light's visible form is a regal woman draped in white with white flowing hair. Its Card form clutches a sun in one hand, and a cloud in the other.
The Little
The Little is able to shrink things into miniature versions of itself by simply touching them; this also shrinks the victim's ability to use magic. Though small in size, Little is very nimble with is prodigious jumping skill. It is a mischievous card, who greatly enjoys laughing and taunting Sakura after it shrinks her to a height of a few inches. Little's visible form resembles a tiny yellowish child. Little is almost an exact copy of its sister card, The Big, except for color and height.
The Lock
A weaker version of Shield, The Lock is able to lock almost anything (doors, padlocks, etc.), also preventing their unlocking by conventional means. Lock can seal off entire rooms by magically shielding any and all exits such that they cannot be penetrated or destroyed. Though weaker than Shield in terms of defensive strength, Lock can actively defend itself by creating a psychokinetic storm to drive away threats. Lock's visible form is a small green and yellow padlock with a front mounted drum. It has wings on the front, straddling the chamber of the lock.
The Loop
The Loop is one of the strangest of the Clow Cards. Loop is capable of warping reality--bending the time-space continuum (so to speak) into a continuous, repeating loop. Anything or anyone unfortunate enough to be trapped inside it will be left stranded in an environment that repeats on itself, with no way of getting out until Sakura reverses the spell. Loop is a simple small band or loop, red on one side and yellow on the other. It is often pictured with one twist such that it resembles an infinity symbol (∞) or a Möbius strip.
The Maze
The Maze is able to create pocket dimensions inside the real world, which contain giant mazes. Unlike conventional mazes, which work in three dimensions, the puzzles created by Maze are twisted through four or more dimensions, allowing people to walk upside-down, up staircases that cannot really exist, and generally to become lost in a world that defies the laws of perspective. Maze also prevents any kind of "cheating" by raising walls to stop people from climbing over them and by repairing walls that have been damaged by people trying to break through. Maze is invisible from the outside, but from the inside it resembles a multi-dimensional green maze with upside-down staircases and impossible perspectives similar to those drawn by M. C. Escher. Sakura has to be on the outside of the Maze to put it back in it’s card but if she is on the inside she can use The Loop to go back and stop it.
The Mirror
The Mirror is able to copy people like a reflection in a mirror and (literally) become that person. It is also capable of becoming a mirror and reflecting objects. Mirror appears to be troublesome and mischievous, but it really is a frightened and lost spirit. Mirror is the most human of the cards, as its ability to duplicate an identical copy of its (usually human) target also allows it to speak and express emotions. Mirror's visible form resembles a beautiful green-haired girl, draped in a long flowing kimono holding a mirror in her hands. On some occasions, Mirror just appears as the mirror that she carries, useful for reflecting images and deflecting magical attacks.
The Mist
The Mist is a corrosive entity, able to eat through almost any material including metal bars. It can also create a blanket of fog for cover. Mist's visible form is a thick bank of green fog with a woman in a meditative stance.
The Move
The Move is a mischievous spirit, capable of inhabiting objects and magically moving them by making them disappear from one place and appear in another, similar to teleportation. Move cannot move living creatures. Move resembles a pair of 'Clow Wings', which appear on whatever object it inhabits just before it moves it.
The Nameless Card
This unnamed card is an unexpected creation of Sakura, born from a teardrop and a surge of magical energy resulting from Sakura's emotions. This card, since being created by feelings of Sakura, and by the picture, is sometimes guessed to have the uncertain name, "The Love card". The nameless card depicts a crowned heart with wings.
The Nothing
In order to balance the immense positive magic of the Clow Cards, The Nothing was created,containing negative magic equivalent in magnitude to the other fifty-two cards. Anything that comes into contact with it will cease to exist. Nothing is composed of a spherical force field of emptiness where nothing exists. In the center of this force field, one could make out a young girl with long, silvery hair wearing a frilled dress. There is a constant expression of sorrow on the girl's face.
The Power
The Power is able to give its user an incredible amount of physical strength, granting whoever activates it the ability to lift objects weighing several tons. Power's visible form is a tiny, pink little girl in a sleeveless pink dress. She has long hair with Chinese buns and two ponytails.
The Rain
The Rain is a mischievous entity that is able to control rain and create powerful downpours on anybody who tries to spoil its fun. Rain is The Cloud's twin and they often play tricks on Sakura is used together. Rain's physical form resembles a young person with a jesters hat. It rides a cloud and has a teardrop shaped jewel on its forehead.
The Return
The Return allows its user to witness events in the past as a ghostly observer. Return protects its user from detection (both magical and mundane) but exceptionally powerful or knowledgeable magicians can pierce Return's protections. Return, like The Time, requires a considerable amount of magical power to use. Return's visible form resembles a swift-moving, tangible black mist. Its card image displays what appears to be a young version of The Time.
The Sand
The Sand is able to create sand and move it as smoothly as water, often creating vortexes of it to trap targets. Sand's visible form is that of flow of sand that moves vaguely like a serpent. Its card form shows a woman dressed in Arabic clothes made of sand.
The Shadow
The Shadow is a mysterious card able to manipulate shadows. It can gather shadows from people or things to increase its own power, but these shadows fade when they are exposed to bright light, leaving only Shadow itself behind. Sakura knows one thing that makes Shadow dangerous, "Shadow can touch us, but we can't touch it." The Shadow looks like a cloaked figure in a black cloak and hood resembling the Grim Reaper.
The Shield
The Shield is Sakura's most-used defensive card, able to create a shell around its target that is impenetrable to almost all physical and magical attacks, including the effects of other Cards (i.e. The Time). Shield has a protective personality. When guarding an object, Shield appears as a blue-white-green sphere or dome. For all other uses it is a single 'Clow Wing' shield with a red jewel on both sides. In its card form the Shield is chained by several chains for some unknown reason, like the Sword.
The Shot
The Shot is one of the more dangerous cards. Unless sealed, it can be activated simply by saying "shoot" or "aim" (even if the person calling it has no magical powers), at which point it will either target the person to which the command refers (e.g. "aim at Syaoran" or "shoot Syaoran" would cause the card to attack him), attacking him or her relentlessly until either the target is destroyed or the card is forced to return to its card form. Once activated, Shot transforms into a body of light that fires out beams of energy, like lasers, that become increasingly more accurate with each attack. Shots can be neutralized by Shield, but only for a short time as Shot has more endurance than Shield. The main reason why the Shot cannot be captured or sealed easily is because it is too fast and you cannot aim and attack it. When attacking, Shot appears as a fast moving bolt of energy. Its visible form is a young boy with fiery red and yellow hair and large pink eyes.
The Silent
The Silent is a mysterious card that shuns loud noises. It is able to stifle all forms of sound, rendering even the noisiest room completely silent. It also has the power to "move" away anything that is making noise, though such movement has limited range. Silent appears as a tall slender woman wearing a long blue-black dress and wrapped in dark cape with a high collar. She has long, straight blue hair and a jewel with bat wings on her forehead. She is usually seen standing up with one finger raised to her lips.
The Sleep
The Sleep is able to put people to sleep, whether it be one person or a whole festival full of people. Sleep is often used in combination with The Time, in which Time stops time while Sleep is activated on all the people. When Time wears off, everyone falls asleep at once. This prevents people from noticing others falling asleep before they do and also from seeing Sleep while it does its work. Sleep resembles a tiny periwinkle fairy with a star on its forehead and one overlarge feathered ear. Sleep sometimes carries a small wand, which usually produces the magical dust that induces sleep.
The Snow
The Snow is able to cause a considerable amount of snow to fall, even during weather that does not promote snow. Snow is quite aggressive, usually attacking in the form of a blizzard. However Snow is far weaker than Firey. Snow's visible form resembles a traditional Japanese yuki-onna, or Snow Woman. She wears a blue-white kimono with a blue obi and a necklace that appears to be made from teeth (though, in context, they are probably icicles). She has a yellow, upwards facing, crescent moon on her forehead. Snow displays a notable amount of wit compared to the other Clow Cards.
The Song
Like The Voice, The Song loves singing. It is attracted to any beautiful songs that it hears, often copying them (to memory). However, unlike Voice, Song cannot steal people's voices, it merely copies them. Song is very shy and is easily scared away by loud sounds or sudden movements, but it can be coaxed into its visible form if it feels safe. Song's visible form resembles a young girl wearing a blue and lavender dress and bluish-lavender headgear. The headgear resembles a treble clef, and the dress resembles the front of a string instrument. Her dress also has the 'F holes', which are long to look like the cello.
