List of Clow Cards

This article is an alphabetical list of Clow Cards, characters from the Clamp manga and anime series Cardcaptor Sakura. Most of the following Cards are also represented in the English dub of the series, Cardcaptors.

For background information on the Clow Cards or for chronological listings by capture and by transformation in the series, see the main article.

:Note: Episode numbers and chronology follows the original Japanese anime

The Arrow
The Arrow (çŸ¢) is an attack card capable of creating and firing a continuous stream of magical arrows. Although the arrows appear to strike like regular arrows, they are capable of penetrating concrete and bending steel. Arrow is very similar to the Shot Card in their projectile uses, but Arrow is capable of multiple volleys while Shot can only fire single (though faster) shots. Arrow was captured by Sakura during the first CardCaptor Sakura film at her school. The spirit later saved her from drowning after the sorceress Soo Yung tries to kill her inside a flooded skyscraper.

Arrow's visible form is a small, blue-purplish girl with a pudding basin haircut and two long pigtails. Arrow carries a short bow.

The Big

When used, The Big (å¤§) enables a person or a specified object to grow to giant proportions with seemingly no limits. In episode 31 of the anime, Big enlarges a cat to a size threatening to Sakura and company; however, the cat is still, while big, as peaceful as it was while a small stray. When Syaoran rushes in to save Meiling after the cat pinned her to the ground, the cat turns its attention to Syaoran and begins licking his entire head. Shortly after it pins him down also and proceeds to rub its cheek all over his body. Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero notice giant plants and find the Big sitting beside a pond, where she makes a fish grow gigantic. Sakura approaches and Big willingly allows herself to be captured, turning everything back to their original sizes. Sakura later uses Big to become a giant and fight off one of the Create card's many creations (a giant dragon).

Big's visible form resembles a very tall woman, dressed like a medieval princess with a two-star pointed hat. Big is almost an exact copy of its sister card, The Little, except for color and height. Clow Reed designed The Big robe to make her look slim and beautiful.

Big is transformed into a Sakura Card in Episode 55. When Sakura is stuck in Wonderland, she transforms it in order to return her to normal height after Mad Hatter Toya's tea shrinks her.

The Bubbles
The Bubbles (æ³¡) is capable of creating bubbles, usually of a soapy nature in order to wash things. According to Kero-chan, Clow Reed created The Bubbles in order to bathe him and wash other things. Cerberus seems embarrassed by the fact that Clow Reed created Bubbles specifically to clean him and his clothes.

Bubbles's visible form appears to be a free-standing mound of pink bubbles. Bubbles's card form shows a small mermaid with long, thick hair made of bubbles.

Bubbles's capture is not shown directly in the series, but episode 36 shows that Sakura had captured it over spring break (the time period following episode 35). Bubbles' capture is briefly seen at the start of the second film, during one of Tomoyo's recordings of Sakura's captures. Bubbles' capture features Sakura, Syaoran, Kero and presumably Tomoyo fighting a large tower of bubbles at the school during the night. Its capture is heard, and Sakura presumably got it.

Bubbles is transformed into a Sakura Card when Sakura uses it to bathe Cerberus in Episode 58.

The Change

The Change (æ›¿) is able to things involving change. In case of the anime, Change is able to swap the minds (or 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. Syaoran and Keroberos have been victims of Change's ability, resulting in a rather unique day at school and at home, before Sakura is able to reverse their switched minds a day later (Episode 32).

Change is transformed into a Sakura Card in Episode 53 during Sakura's frantic wave of transformations.

The Change appears to like like a weasel/rat/mouse like creature on the card.

The Cloud

The Cloud (é›²) creates thick clouds all over the sky, also moving them however it pleases. Like Rain, it is not a very combative card. Cloud did not generally cause any problems like Rain did, but it did cause Sakura to come out to capture it when she had a very bad fever. Syaoran and Meiling came along to lend a hand, Syaoran revealing Cloud using his fire element incantation. Sakura captured Cloud with help from Meiling (Episode 39), who lifted the staff for her. Syaoran originally received the card, but he gave it to Sakura out of the kindness of his heart after seeing her effort to seal it despite her bad health.

Cloud's visible form is very similar to The Rain's. The difference is that the designs on her dress are composed of clouds. It is very similar to .

Cloud is transformed during Sakura's panicked rush of transformations in episode 53.

The Create

The Create (å‰µ) 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, whether benevolent or malevolent. However, its power is only active at night. In the anime (Episode 31), Naoko Yanagisawa (Nikki), after buying Create from its hiding place in a bookstore, writes a story in it about princesses, flying animals, and a dragon. All of the Naoko's characters come to life a short distance away in town. After its capture, Sakura continues to use this card to fight illusionary monsters, both for training and for Tomoyo's video recordings.

Create's transformation is not shown in the series. However, Create is seen to be transformed in a Video Diary - it is used along with Move to trick Cerberus with a Lemon cake.

The Dark

The Dark (é—‡) is able to warp space, creating darkness that can isolate and nullify non-magical beings if given enough time (like Erase). Dark is the first card under Yue and is special in that it cannot be physically attacked. Dark can only be defeated by The Light. The Dark interrupted Sakura and Syaoran's play in episode 42 where they were about to kiss, engulfing everyone except Sakura and Cerberus in darkness. Sakura was able to defeat the Dark by releasing the Light from her heart. It was all revealed to be a test and the two cards
allowed themselves to be captured.

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.

Dark is transformed in Episode 69; Sakura transforms it so that she can transform Light and end Eriol's spell. In the manga, Sakura transforms Dark (together with Light) in volume 11.

The Dash

The Dash (é§†) is able to run at supernatural speeds for short distances. It can grant this ability to others as well. In episode 30 of the anime, Dash takes shelter at the home of Rei Tachibana (Jessie), one of Tomoeda Elementary's star track runners who takes in Dash after it escapes Sakura's initial attempt at capturing it. Dash helps Rei by speeding up her legs whenever she runs, allowing her to break records and to qualify for a position in the city-wide track meet. Sakura and Syaoran capture Dash prior to the competition, however, but Rei manages to advance to the final round on her own. She had been missing Dash, whom she named Peewee (Hoppy), but gains enough motivation to win the final hundred-meter dash when she sees an image of Dash at the end of the track. The image is not an illusion but Dash itself as summoned by Syaoran.

Dash's visible form is a blue, fox-like creature with long rabbit ears.

In episode 53, Sakura panics when Keroberos warns her that untransformed Clow Cards will gradually lose their powers and, in response, frantically transforms a small assortment of cards into Sakura Cards. Sakura's magic is still too weak to transform all the remaining cards, however, and she nearly faints after about the seventh card. Unfortunately, the last card she attempted to transform, Dash, had not been completely transitioned. Its being now stuck between two magic sources causes Dash to panic and escape into town, possessing Toya's bicycle in the process. Sakura and Cerberus chase Dash into the park, where Sakura uses The Loop in order to catch up and get close to it. She takes Dash in her arms and calms it until she is able to perform a full transformation.

The Dream

The Dream (å¤¢) 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. Like with Return, Time can be used to disrupt it. In episode 40, some of the primary characters have dreams that seem to represent their greatest desires. Tomoyo has a dream about being surrounded by millions of Sakura clones in her battle costumes, while Syaoran has a dream of being in an empty cinema where a romance film plays involving him and Sakura hugging on a beach.

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, such as the Greek prophet Tiresias.

In Episode 62, Sakura transformed Dream in her sleep, causing her to have a dream involving Eriol, Spinel Sun, and Ruby Moon at Tsukimine Shrine.

The Earthy

The Earthy (åœ°) is capable of considerable property destruction by creating earthquakes and various other geological disturbances. As one of the four elementals and the last card to be captured in both manga and anime, it is perhaps the most powerful of the Clow Cards (except for The Nothing). However, in accordance with the Chinese balance of five elements, it is vulnerable to Wood. Sakura captures it in episode 45 using Wood. This capture finally allows Kero to become Keroberos.

Earthy's visible form is a giant serpentine pile of earth and rock. In the manga it appears as the woman depicted on the Card. The woman form is briefly shown in the anime while Sakura is sealing the card.

Earthy's transformation is shown in the anime for the same reason of the manga. In the manga (Volume 9) Sakura transforms Earthy in order to restore a hole made by Eriol at Penguin Park.

The Erase

The Erase (æ¶ˆ) has the power to make almost anything, including people, disappear. Erase also has the power to erase magical elements, once banishing a pit full of stuffed sheep created by Eriol during one of Sakura's trials. Once something has been erased by Erase it can be returned if the card is captured but, if that person or object is gone for too long, it disappears permanently.

Sakura first encounters Erase in the anime during a school field trip. A "Test of Courage" activity is held at night, where students are grouped in pairs or triples and must traverse a cave with only a candle for light. However, all the students that enter do not return, as Erase has erased them in the back of the cave. Eventually Sakura and Syaoran are the only students remaining. Sakura, after (temporarily) overcoming her fears, makes it to the end of the cave, where Erase laid waiting. After Erase's capture in episode 17, all the students return to safety, although it erased all of their memories, but Tomoyo was informed by Sakura of what really happened. Erase also uses her jester dress to Erase others.

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.

Erase is transformed into a Sakura Card in Episode 52. Sakura used it to erase all the plush sheep that Eriol sent down the hole she was in. In the English dub, Erase is transformed in episode 48. In the manga, Erase is transformed right before Sakura transforms Earthy in Volume 9.

The Fight

The Fight (é—˜) 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.

When first encountered in episode 20 of the anime, Fight is haunting the local park, looking for new opponents after having already beaten several of Tomoeda's best martial artists. Knowing that the only way to seal Fight is to defeat her in battle, Meiling Li (herself an accomplished fighter) tries to challenge Fight, but the card's supernatural strength and endurance prove too much for her, and she was defeated. Fight's next target is Sakura, who is both outmatched and outclassed compared to the card, but she fortunately manages to find a way.

In one final attack, Fight charges at Sakura. In a blind panic, Sakura countered by wielding her sealing wand, endowed with the enormous strength of , and crashed it down on Fight's head, knocking the card out cold. Fight most likely suffered the most painful capture of any of the cards.

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. Based on this appearance, it has been suggested that Fight is supposed to be Chinese rather than Japanese—a fact that would fit in well with Clow Reed's Chinese heritage.

Fight is transformed in episode 69 when Sakura transforms the last remaining Clow Cards.

The Firey

The Firey is one of the elemental cards. The Firey is an opposite of The Watery. The Firey first appeared in episode 36, sakura's cristmas's. she used two cards: The Windy and the Watery. Sakura tried to use The Windy, but The Firey ended up getting bigger, for wind is also equal to oxygen. Then, she tried to use The Watery, but in the manga, The Watery would just be sucked up and not come back.

The Firey resembles an angel covered with flames.
The Float

The Float (æµ®), as its name implies, likes to make things float. Float is a mischievous spirit, but it is also quite gentle and was easy for Sakura to seal. In the anime, Keroberos discovers Float when it starts levitating objects in a little girl's room, including the girl, Akane, herself. Kero contacts Sakura via a fax machine, and she arrives in time to seal Float away before it floats Akane above the atmosphere (episode 15). Akane starts falling as a result, but Sakura uses Wood to cushion her descent.

Float's visible form resembles a large balloon with white wings.

Float was transformed during episode 57, when Sakura fell into darkness. It returned her to the floor of the elevator.

The Flower

The Flower (èŠ±) 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. Sakura also witnessed Clow Reed using it to bring a tree into blossom when she uses The Return to go back to Clow's time in Episode 68. In the manga (captured in volume 2), Flower has been used defensively to create a shield of blossoms around Sakura.

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. Flower was captured in episode 10.

Flower is transformed in Episode 54. Sakura used it to create flowers to include in her birthday present for her great-grandfather.

The Fly

The Fly is the first Clow Card captured using Sakura's sealing wand (episode 1 in the anime). It has since become Sakura's most used card. When activated it adds large wings to the end of the sealing wand that allow Sakura (and at least one passenger) to fly. After its transformation into a Sakura Card, Sakura is able to use Fly's wings herself (they grow out of her back), allowing her to keep the sealing wand free to use with other cards. This event occurred when Eriol possessed a teddy bear and expanded it to great heights, and Sakura needed to use both Fly and Sword to defeat it.

In the anime, Fly is captured using Windy. In the Manga, Fly is hurt and then coaxed into returning to its card form by Sakura, without using any cards.

Fly is transformed in episode 51 of the anime. This event happened as stated above when Eriol possessed a teddy bear and expanded it to great heights to terrorize Yue which resulted in Sakura needing to use both the Fly and Sword to defeat it.

In the second movie, Fly is one of the remaining five cards that Sakura has in her possession, and the third one that she uses against the Nothing. Sakura uses Fly to chase the Nothing around the amusement park, but when she and the Nothing directly confronts each other, the Nothing easily steals Fly from Sakura, leaving Sakura with only two cards left-the Shield and the Nameless Card.

Fly resembles a giant white bird with a long neck and short beak.

The Freeze

The Freeze (å‡?) 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. In episode 33 of the anime, Freeze lowers the temperature to freezing point inside a skating rink where Sakura's class has taken a field trip. In addition to the freezing temperatures, everybody except for Sakura, Syaoran, and Kaho Mizuki is magically frozen in ice. While Ms. Mizuki hides (the reason is left unsaid, but it is implied that she wants to let Sakura and Syaoran deal with the card on their own), Sakura and Syaoran are left to battle Freeze on the rink as it swims through the ice as if it were water, with them eventually overpowering the card and Syaoran becoming the Freeze's master.

Freeze's visible form resembles a giant goldfish-like creature seemingly composed of ice.

In Episode 60, Sakura transforms Freeze to stop some magically animated penguin statues.

The Glow

The Glow (ç?¯) is one of the harmless cards, as its only power is the ability to create hundreds of tiny glowing orbs that resemble fireflies. It is the card that caused the least trouble in Tomoeda before its capture. Sakura first encounters Glow during the summer festival at Tsukimine Shrine (episode 18 in the anime), where it was casting tiny glowing lights among the trees.

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.

Glow is transformed into a Sakura card in episode 67 (episode 63 of the English dub). When one of Eriol's magical trials cuts off the electricity supply to the lanterns at the festival, Sakura transforms Glow and uses its power to save the festival.

The Hope

The Hope (å¸Œæœ›) is the result of a merge between The Nothing and the nameless card. The Hope exists only as a Sakura Card and never existed as a Clow Card. At the end of the second movie, when The Hope is sealed, all the damage dealt by The Nothing is instantly undone. In the American dub, Hope was the nameless card seen at the end of the last episode, causing naming problems for the Nothing and nameless card fusion at the end of the second movie.

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 Illusion

The Illusion (å¹») 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. A proof is its first apparition in front of Sakura and her school friends in a forest (episode 6); all of the girls saw horrific monsters (all of them with different looks) except for Tomoyo, who only saw a pastry because she was hungry at that moment.

In the anime, Illusion uses an image of , Nadeshiko, to lure Sakura into walking over a ledge. In the Manga, it disguises itself as Nadeshiko and tries to drown Sakura by luring her into a lake and holding her down. In both instances Sakura is rescued by Yukito Tsukishiro when she first attempts to capture Illusion. Later, after almost being tricked again, she is able to see through the illusion created by the card, at which point it reverts to its visible form, allowing Sakura to seal it.

Illusion can change its form based on what the watcher expects to see, but while transitioning between forms, it resembles a kaleidoscope pattern.

Illusion is transformed into a Sakura Card in episode 66. Used in conjunction with The Maze, they created a surreal 'planetarium' effect inside a maze for visitors to marvel at, and to contain the fact that Sakura is using her magic to try and decipher who is giving off Clow Reed's presence.

The Jump

The Jump (è·³) 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 the anime Jump appears to have a number of other powers, including the ability to possess inanimate objects, allowing them to jump, as well as the ability to merge many smaller objects into a larger version of itself. Sakura never uses these additional powers, though, and they are never demonstrated in the manga.

When Sakura first encounters Jump in episode 5 of the anime, it has taken over the body of a stuffed panda, hiding in the Twin Bells store. Each time the panda is sold, Jump inside it would 'jump' it back to the store. Sakura initially traps Jump in a cage of branches using Wood, but Jump manages to escape. It is eventually sealed after it wears itself out and falls down. In the manga (volume 1), Jump has the distinction of being the very first card shown to be captured by Sakura and is used to introduce the spirits inside the Clow Cards. No back-story is given about what Jump was up to when it was caught, but it is sealed after being bound by a chain created by Windy. According to Cerberus, Jump is not very bright. When Sakura faces Yue in the Final Judgment, Yue uses Jump in order to summon her towards him. She, at the time, was under his powerful 'moonlight' hypnosis spell. In the second movie, Jump is the card most commonly used by Sakura, who invokes Jump's magic to reach a huge fire monster created by the Create and to evade numerous attacks from the Nothing. It is also one of the last five cards Sakura has in her possession, and the first of the five Sakura uses to fight the Nothing, though it does not last too long against 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.

Jump is transformed in Episode 51. Sakura tried to jump up to the head of a giant teddy bear during one of Eriol's trials so she could cut off its ear with Sword (the ear was the source of the magic causing the bear to grow and be animated), but was unable to reach and is forced to use Fly instead.

The Libra

The Libra (ç§¤, ãƒ©ã‚¤ãƒ–ãƒ© raibura) is able to determine whether a person is lying or not, though its use is never demonstrated in the anime. It is one of the few cards not used in either the manga or anime, the others being The Wave and The Through.

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. Libra's capture is not shown directly in the series, but Episode 36 shows that Sakura had captured it over spring break (the time period following Episode 35).

Libra is transformed in Episode 53 during Sakura's frantic wave of transformations.

The Light

The Light (å…‰) is able to bring light to any area, also able to turn night into day. Light is the first card under Keroberos. It is revealed in Episode 42 that Light had resided in Sakura's heart all along, ever since she accidentally scattered the Clow Cards using Windy. Light and Dark are always together and the two most loyal cards, making them the most difficult for Sakura to transform into Sakura cards.

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. Light is transformed in Episode 69; Sakura transforms at the same time as Dark so as to end Eriol's spell.

The Little

The Little (å°?) 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. Sakura manages to return to normal size by coming into contact with Little again (episode 24 of the anime).

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 Little is transformed in episode 55. After Sakura uses The Big, she becomes too big and then needs to correct it. Once again, she becomes too small and is put on a chessboard during a match between Humpty Dumpty (played by Tomoyo), and the Queen (humorously played by Kero).

The Lock

A weaker version of Shield, The Lock (éŒ ) 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. Similar to an ability of Maze, magical senses are diffused when in an area sealed by Lock.

In episode 38 of the anime, Lock inhabits a storage building (currently used as a kitchen and presentation room) at a strawberry plantation, where it traps Sakura and company until Sakura drives it out of the room's lock using her Clow Key. Lock immediately tries to reenter the keyhole of the lock, but Syaoran blocks the way with one of his wards. This reveals one of Lock's weaknesses, where it cannot simply merge with something in order to 'lock' it, but it instead must find a lock or catch from which to inhabit and activate its abilities.

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.

Lock is transformed during Sakura's panicked rush of transformations in episode 53.

The Loop

The Loop (è¼ª) 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. It is defeated by the combined efforts of both Sakura and Syaoran (episode 21 of the anime), who manage to cut the loop in half.

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.

When The Dash possesses Toya's bike, Sakura uses Loop to trap it in order to get close to Dash and calm it down in Episode 53.

The Maze

The Maze (è¿·) 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 also cannot be captured from the inside.

In episode 26 of the anime, Maze is the first Clow Card that Sakura and Syaoran are unable to conquer on their own. They needed the powers of Kaho Mizuki and her Moon Bell, which was able to break through Maze's walls. As such, the card recognizes Kaho as its master and initially goes to her. Kaho, however, gives it to Sakura, who takes ownership by signing her name on the card.

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.

Maze is transformed in Episode 66, when it was used in conjunction with Illusion to create a three-dimensional version of the planetarium exhibit at Toya's high school fair, in order to cover Sakura's tracks while she undertook one of Eriol's magical trials.

The Mirror

The Mirror (é?¡) 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. Before its capture in episode 25, Mirror injures Toya but later is seen crying in guilt about it. Right before returning to card form, Mirror (in her normal visible form) apologizes to Toya. Mirror seems to have a special affection and is very shy towards Toya.

Mirror is one of Sakura's most helpful cards, as Sakura can essentially clone herself in order to be in two places at once. Usually this is done in situations where Sakura must distract Toya in order to capture or transform cards; unfortunately, Toya sees through the magic right away. However Toya keeps this a secret, instead interacting with Mirror as if it were an individual person. Through these interactions, Mirror develops a fondness for Toya, though never reaching a point of confessing her feelings (if they are that deep).

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.

After episode 61, Mirror wears a green ribbon in her hair. It is both an early Christmas gift from Toya and a gift of thanks for protecting Sakura during times when he cannot (Toya knew she had long hair in her true form). Mirror is transformed before Episode 61. At the beginning of the episode, Sakura returned to her room and thanked Mirror for covering for her.

The Mist

The Mist (éœ§) 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 is first seen in episode 14 of the anime during a play at Toya's high school, where the errant card dissolves much of the stage and scenery, before finally being contained using Shadow. Mist's visible form is a thick bank of green fog with a woman in a meditative stance.

Mist is transformed into a Sakura card in episode 61, where it is used to dissolve a metal railing that had been brought to life by Eriol Hiiragizawa as one of Sakura's trials.

The Move

The Move (ç§») 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 is not a very powerful card, as it can only move small objects (i.e. books or pencils) and only for a short distance. Move cannot move living creatures.

In episode 19 of the anime, Move is first encountered when it decides to make its home inside a library book that both Sakura and Syaoran want to use for their summer book report. Move forces the unfortunate duo to chase their book all around the Tomoeda library and also the nearby park.

Though relatively weak, Move's speed and unpredictability make it a very difficult card to capture. Sakura manages to capture Move by waiting for it to vanish and then magically sensing where it will appear next. Move resembles a pair of 'Clow Wings', which appear on whatever object it inhabits just before it moves it.

Move's transformation is not shown in the series. However, Move is seen to be transformed in a Video Diary - it is used along with Create to trick Cerberus, with a Lemon cake.

The nameless card

This unnamed card is an unexpected creation of Sakura in episode 70, born from a teardrop and a surge of magical energy resulting from Sakura's emotions. It was created when Sakura was thinking of Syaoran after hearing that he was moving back to Hong Kong and realizing that she may not see him again for a very long time.

Sakura has kept the card on her person with the Sakura Cards, and in the second movie, it autonomously "sacrifices" itself to pay the cost of sealing and transforming The Nothing. The cost is giving up one's most cherished feelings. Originally The Nothing was ready to take Syaoran's feelings for Sakura, but the nameless card offers itself instead, because it is an embodiment of those feelings. The nameless card and The Nothing merge to become The Hope. Interestingly, this card was named "The Hope", in the last episode of the English dub. This was possibly due to Nelvana not dubbing the second movie.

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, Clow Reed created the Nothing Card (ç„¡), containing negative magic equivalent in magnitude to the other fifty-two cards. Anything that comes into contact with it will cease to exist.

Nothing appears in the second movie and is terribly lonely in the beginning, unable to interact with others without destroying them. The only beings that can interact with her safely are the other Clow Cards. As a result, Nothing tries to steal the Clow Cards (now Sakura Cards) so that she would not be alone again. Nothing's presence is vastly encompassing, once detecting Eriol's attempt to call Sakura about the card and destroying the phone lines as a result. Nothing continues to steal the Sakura Cards and destroys everyone and everything that Sakura holds dear; Nothing likely views Sakura as a villain who stole her "friends" (the Clow Cards) and intends for Sakura to suffer the same pain of loss that it has felt for centuries.

In the end, the Sakura Cards try to return to Sakura, and Nothing falls into hysterical despair, believing that her friends have abandoned her. However, Sakura convinces Nothing that it can be her friend, too, together with all the Cards. She returns Nothing to a Clow Card form and then transforms it into a Sakura Card by merging it with the Nameless card to form The Hope. All the damage and deaths caused by Nothing are then miraculously undone.

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. When captured and changed into a Sakura Card, she is clasping the winged heart that was the Nameless card and has, for the first time, a smile upon her face. Nothing was voiced by Maaya Sakamoto (Japanese) and Lia Sargent (English).

The Power

The Power (åŠ›) is able to give its user an incredible amount of physical strength, granting whoever activates it the ability to lift objects weighing several tons.

When Power is free, it becomes invisible and it likes to show off by destroying things, and it turns visible only if a person challenges it with strength and tells it what the challenge is. If the challenger wins, Power will surrender itself. Power is very proud and loves physical challenges, as it also likes to show off. Power is captured (in episode 13) when Syaoran invokes Time and sabotages her physical challenge with Sakura, causing her to lose. Although, Sakura thinks that "Mrs. elephant" helped her.

Power's strength can be merged with the sealing wand, providing Sakura with a very powerful blunt object. Such a combination is used to defeat The Fight card in a later episode.

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 (though some fans have pointed out that these could also be dangling earrings).

Power is transformed in Episode 52. Sakura used it to move the King Penguin slide back into place.

The Rain

The Rain (é›¨) 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 in the anime its water gives The Wood enough power to cause chaos in Sakura's house (episode 4). Sakura sealed Rain with help from The Watery, which was also able to feed off Rain's power to increase its own. Rain, as a free spirit, is very chaotic and tried to drown Sakura with a waterfall-like attack with Kero saying it was just playing.

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. It is very similar in appearance to The Cloud, and it has been assumed the two are related.

Rain is transformed in episode 69 when Sakura transforms the last remaining Clow Cards.

The Return

The Return (æˆ») 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 such as Kaho Mizuki and Clow Reed himself can pierce Return's protections. Return, like The Time, requires a considerable amount of magical power to use; in the series the spiritual energies of the cherry tree at Tsukimine Shrine are needed to power the spell. One can disrupt Return by using Time, though that is difficult given the amount of effort needed to use Time. This method is used by Syaoran when he brings Sakura back from the past, though almost all of his energy is taken from him.

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. It is captured in episode 27 of the anime.

In Episode 68, Sakura used Return in order to go to Clow's time and talk with him.

The Sand

The Sand (ç ‚) is able to create sand and move it as smoothly as water, often creating vortexes of it to trap targets. In episode 41, Sakura and Syaoran captured Sand in a joint effort using both Watery to wet the sand and Freeze to solidify and immobilize it. As a result, Sand hovers between Sakura and Syaoran after capture, open to either captor as its master. They both reach for the card, but Sakura kindly lets Syaoran keep it.

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.

Sand is transformed in Episode 53 during Sakura's frantic wave of transformations.

The Shadow

The Shadow (å½±) 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. According to Keroberos, "Shadow can touch us, but we can't touch it."

When first seen in episode 2 of the anime, Shadow causes mayhem at Sakura's school by stealing all the shadows of the students and piling up the school desks. When Sakura tries to capture it, Shadow forms all of the surrounding shadows into one big shadow monster. Tomoyo Daidouji and Keroberos help to disperse the extra shadows by using the school's floodlights, weakening Shadow enough for Sakura to capture it with Windy. Shadow became very loyal to Sakura, used to capture the Silent, Mist and the Thunder Cards.

In volume 2 of the manga, Shadow appears in a sweets shop where it tries to tip over shelves on the customers. After seeing that Syaoran Li's thunder wards are able to dissolve the shadows captured by Shadow, Sakura uses Thunder to the same effect and was able to capture it after pinning it with Sword. This is the first time that Syaoran and Sakura work together to capture a Clow Card. (The roles reverse in the anime, where the first Card they catch together is Thunder, with Sakura using Shadow to halt it.)

Shadow looks like a cloaked figure in a black cloak and hood resembling the Grim Reaper. In Episode 59, Sakura used Shadow to lead her to Tomoyo.

The Shield

The Shield (ç›¾) 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. Time). Shield has a protective personality and is first seen in episode 11 of the anime protecting a box containing keepsakes belonging to the Daidouji family, even to the point of keeping Tomoyo and Sonomi from opening the box at all. However, the Sword was able to penetrate through the Shield, thus enabling Sakura to capture Shield. Sakura also uses Shield in the Season 2 finale to block one of Eriol's attacks, but it plays no further role in the finale after that, except for continuing to protect Syaoran and the unconscious Toya and Tomoyo.

In the second movie, Sakura uses Shield in the beginning of the movie to block an attack from an ice monster created by the Create. It is the final card Sakura has against the Nothing, who absorbed all of the others. Sakura used it to protect herself from the Nothing's powers, but it was soon captured.

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.

Shield is transformed in Episode 58. Sakura used it to shut out the magic that was preventing Keroberos and Yue from returning to their disguises.

The Shot

The Shot (æ’ƒ) is one of the more dangerous cards. Unless sealed, it can be activated simply 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.

In episode 28 of the anime, Shot is discovered by Meiling, hiding in its card form amongst a store display of charms, and is accidentally activated when she says she will use it to shoot Syaoran's heart. Shot then attacks Syaoran but is defeated when Sakura uses Mirror to reflect the sun's rays aiming at 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.

Shot is transformed in Episode 69 when Sakura transforms the last remaining Clow Cards.

The Silent

The Silent (é?™) 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. Keroberos admittingly revealed he did not know Silent's special power, either because he forgot it or because Silent doesn't talk and hasn't told him.

Because Silent automatically removes anything that causes noise, it is very difficult to capture. Every time Sakura approaches it or tries to say the sealing incantation, Silent simply teleports her out of reach. Sakura eventually manages to seal Silent by using Shadow to extend her reach, so that she could capture Silent from a quiet distance.

When first encountered in episode 7 of the anime, Silent takes up residence in an oil painting in the Tomoeda art gallery.

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.

Silent is transformed in Episode 69 when Sakura transforms the last remaining Clow Cards.

The Sleep

The Sleep (çœ ) 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. In episode 22 of the anime, Sleep took up residence at the university where Sakura's father worked. Sleep put everyone except Sakura to sleep, who cornered Sleep in her father's study where she captured it using Windy. Sleep became one of Sakura's most used cards.

In the second movie, Sakura uses the Sleep to put everyone to sleep in fear of them noticing the presence of the Nothing, but Sleep's magic was easily nullified when it was captured by the Nothing seconds after Sakura uses it.

Sakura also considers using Sleep in Episode 64 to make Eriol fall asleep so she can stop the avalanche with her magic unnoticed, but decides against it, fearing that she can't carry Eriol back to the resort after he has fallen asleep.

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.

Though its capture is not shown in the American adaptation (it was in the UK telecast), Sleep is seen being used in the show, first appearing in Episode 13.

The Sleep is transformed into a Sakura Card in episode 56 (episode 52 of the English dub) in order to conceal the activities of Spinel Sun after he becomes "drunk" on sugar at a sweets fair.

The Snow

The Snow é›ªis 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, which Sakura summoned in episode 36 in order to defeat it.

Snow's visible form resembles a traditional Japanese é›ªå¥³ 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.

Snow is transformed in Episode 68 when Sakura is attacked by a horde of snowmen during one of Eriol's magical trials. Sakura attempts to evade the incoming snowballs but, after becoming overwhelmed by the snow (and angry as a result), then transforms and summons Snow, neutralizing all the snow that had appeared.

The Song

Like The Voice, The Song (æŒ) 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.

In episode 23 of the anime, Sakura first encounters Song in the school music room while investigating a rumor that it was haunted. According to the rumor, a young girl can be heard singing in the music room after everybody else has left. While investigating the mysterious singing, Sakura discovers that it is emanating from Song, but every time she tries to get close enough for capture, Meiling accidentally makes noise that frightens the card away. After a continued pursuit, Sakura realizes that Song is singing a song that Tomoyo was rehearsing earlier that day and that it is using Tomoyo's voice. Tomoyo starts singing, too, which draws the card out and into its visible form, where it sings a duet with Tomoyo and then is immediately captured by Sakura. In the episode 46, of the series The Song appeared behind Sakura, to help her to remember her world.

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.

Song is transformed in Episode 49, when Sakura uses it to lure a cursed piano, which follows the sound of Tomoyo's voice, off the roof of her school.

The Storm

Closely related to Cloud, Rain, Thunder, Watery, and Windy, The Storm (åµ?) is a powerful and aggressive card that is capable of summoning huge rainstorms and tornadoes that can be used both to attack an opponent and to bind them. However, despite its power, Storm is vulnerable to attacks directed towards its center (the eye of the storm) and is easily defeated by Syaoran's "Raitei Shourai" in episode 15. Because Syaoran is the one who forces it to return to its visible form, Storm belongs to him.

Syaoran rarely uses the Storm card but does so notably in the first movie, when he calls Storm to distract Madoushi (Su Yung) in order to buy Sakura time to escape her dimension.

Storm appears as a young elf with curly shoulder length hair and also appears to be wearing some form of armor. Storm bears some similarity to The Cloud and The Rain. It has also been surmised that Storm is a male card.

Storm is transformed in Episode 69 when Sakura transforms the last remaining Clow Cards.

The Sweet

The Sweet (ç”˜) is able to turn objects into edible sweets or make other foods taste sweet. It dislikes being sprinkled with salt. Sealing the card causes everything changed by Sweet to revert to its original form.

In episode 29 of the anime, Sweet caused mayhem on the cakes baked within Tomoeda Elementary School for over a week. On Sakura's class's second attempt, Kero mentioned to Sakura that it could be the work of Sweet. Sakura and Syaoran managed to capture sweet by throwing a bag of salt over Sweet.

Sweet's visible form is a small fairy with afro-like hair resembling cotton candy and a yellow dress with a similarly shaped skirt resembling cream puffs. She also holds a wand.

Sweet is transformed in Episode 53, the first card that Sakura transforms in her frantic wave of transformations.

The Sword

The Sword (å‰£) is able to cut through almost anything, including magical barriers. The card gains its strength from the heart of the person who wields it and gives the wielder the skills of a master swordsman. However, Sword can also overwhelm and take control of the person holding it, especially if he or she is non-magical. Sword is so powerful that it is even capable of penetrating through the Shield in Episode 11, thus enabling Sakura to capture Shield. The Sword can even slash through the time and space continuum warps created by the Loop in Episode 21, thus allowing Sakura to seal Loop.

Although Sword has its own form, Sakura is only able to use it by binding its power to the sealing wand, turning it into a sword.

In both the anime (episode 9) and manga (volume 2), Sword possesses Sakura's friend Rika Sasaki (Rita) and forces her to attack Sakura. In both instances, Sakura is saved by Syaoran and then uses Illusion to distract Rika in order to separate her from Sword. In the English dub, Illusion shows Rika what she feared most at that moment in time, but in the original series, it shows her an image of her true love.

In the second movie, Sakura uses Sword in the beginning of the movie to destroy a gigantic monster created by the Create in a battle scene for one of Tomoyo's videos. However, it was soon captured by the Nothing and plays no further part in the movie.

Curiously, Syaoran's é•·å‰£ (Tsurugi) Sword is able to deflect several blows from Sword with relative ease. Presumably, its magical nature protected it from damage.

The Sword has two forms: a sword-shaped brooch and a sword. In both forms it resembles an European rapier. Its hilt and hand-guard resemble Clow's wing emblem. In its card form the Sword is chained by several chains for some unknown reason, like the Shield. Unusually for a sword, Sword finishes in a diamond shaped tip, rather than a conventional tapered or chiseled tip.

Sword is transformed into a Sakura Card in episode 51 when Syaoran is bound by strange threads. Sakura uses Sword to release Syaoran from his prison. In a later episode, Sakura finds the need to fight with both Sword and Fly, but she was limited in that both cards involved the sealing wand and could not be used together. This prompts Sakura to transform Fly, merging with it, so that the wand is left free to turn into Sword.

The Through

The Through (æŠœ) is able to allow its user to pass through solid objects, such as walls. The thickness of the object and the strength of the user's magical powers are factors for using the card successfully, if this does not work the summoner will get stuck in the wall forever. Sakura is never seen using it in the anime, and its capture is also not shown, though speculation places that it is one of the five cards that she catches during her spring break. There have been two cases where she intends to use Through but, in the end, does not: once during one of Eriol's magical trials when Sakura needs to find Tomoyo at school, and again during the second movie when Sakura needs to cross through a mirror at the amusement park.

Through's card form shows a woman dressed in a flowing gown jumping through a silver, presumably solid, disk. Through's capture is not shown directly in the series, but Episode 36 shows that Sakura had captured it over spring break (the time period following Episode 35). Through's transformation is not shown in the series.

The Thunder

The Thunder (é›·) is able to summon a bolt of lightning, similar to Syaoran's often-used "Raitei Shourai" spell, and is one of Sakura's early offensive cards. In episode 8 of the anime, Thunder is the first card that Syaoran and Sakura capture together. In the manga (volume 2), Sakura captures it alone.

The English dub of the anime names the visible form of Thunder as (Rai (é›·) means thunder and JÅ« (ç?£) means beast, meaning literally - Thunder Beast. This is done in order to fill in 'surplus' lip movement after a dialogue change. The visible form of Thunder is never named in the original anime nor in the manga. RaijÅ« is an actual name for a mythical Japanese creature with many forms.

In its visible form, Thunder resembles a large wolf and is made out of crackling blue-white energy. Its appearance is similar to Japanese mythology, resembling a raiju or thunder creature. In Episode 67, Sakura transforms Thunder into a Sakura Card when she used Thunder to defeat a magical horse that was attacking her.

The Time

The Time (æ™‚) has the ability to influence the passage of time in the world: speeding it up, slowing it down, stopping it entirely, and even turning back the passage of time by a whole day. Altering the passage of time is extremely taxing for all but the most powerful of sorcerers, and a great deal of magic is required even to activate it. At their present magic levels, neither Sakura nor Syaoran are able to do more than pause time for a matter of minutes.

Time is one of the most powerful cards and, when activated, is even able to freeze other cards (except The Nothing, which appears to be immune to Time's powers), though its magic is unable to penetrate through the Shield, which is able to protect Sakura from Time's powers, which gives Sakura the chance to capture Time.

Curiously, magic users like Syaoran and Sakura are able to tell if time has been reversed and also retain their memories of the period of time that has been wound back. However they are unable to tell if time has been paused. Time first appeared in the clock tower of Sakura's school and repeated the same day three times before it was eventually captured.

It is revealed in the Season 1 Finale that Time is one of the cards under Yue's jurisdiction. In episode 12 of the anime, Time is the first card that goes to Syaoran instead of Sakura. This occurs because it is Syaoran who forces time to return to its visible form, not Sakura. The English dub excludes this explanation, instead suggesting that the way that cards 'choose' their holders is a mystery yet to be solved.

In the second movie, Time is one of the remaining five cards that Sakura has in her possession, and the second one that she uses against the Nothing. Sakura uses Time to stop a roller coaster that the Nothing sends at her, but its magic is soon neutralized by the Nothing's own power.

Time's visible form is a robed old man with a long beard (similar to Father Time and the Hermit in Tarot) and pointed ears, carrying a large hourglass. Despite rumours that Time appears as an old woman as a Sakura Card, Time is still of the male gender.

Time is transformed into a Sakura card in episode 64 to stop an avalanche. She tries melting the snow with Firey, but does not have enough power and fails. Because of the deletion of a number of episodes, the transformation of Time is not seen in the American adaptation (was shown in other English layouts), and it is seen several episodes earlier (about episode 60) in the English dub.

The Twin

The Twin (å?Œ) is an aggressive card, able to produce duplicates of objects, including people. In episode 43 of the anime, Keroberos informs Sakura that both entities that comprise Twin must be captured at the same time and that the only way to successfully attack them is by using two simultaneous attacks. Syaoran and Meiling are able to achieve this through their martial arts training.

Twin's visible form is two yellow-colored small children wearing long sleeves. One of them has a pink tuft of hair on the forehead, while the other one has a blue tuft; suggesting one to be female and one to be male. Twin's transformation is not shown in the series.

The Voice

The Voice (å£°) is a mischievous card that is able to steal people's voices. Usually, Voice is content with listening to people, but if it hears a voice that it likes, it is capable of stealing it, rendering that person completely mute. Tomoyo (Madison) becomes victim to Voice's thievery in episode 37. In order to capture Voice and return Tomoyo's voice, Sakura lures it by summoning Song, which sings one of Tomoyo's songs from memory.

Voice's visible form is a young girl with long feather-like ears and long wavy hair similar to that of a Harpy. Voice is transformed in Episode 53 during Sakura's frantic wave of transformations.

The Watery

The Watery (æ°´) is one of the four elemental cards. It has a very temperamental personality and is able to control water and create whirlpools and tidal waves. Watery appears to be female, althogh her looks are somewhat boyish.

In episode 3 of the anime, Watery makes a home in an aquarium where she attacks the animals and keepers, and later Sakura, too. In the manga (Volume 1), Watery first appears in school's swimming pool, where she tries to drown a number of students. In both cases Sakura manages to capture Watery by luring it into a walk-in freezer (in the aquarium cafeteria and school kitchen respectively) and locking it in until it froze. In the anime, she used Windy to lure it into the freezer and stir up the ice inside, speeding up the process.

Watery is able to absorb power from other water-based cards like Rain and is one of the two elemental cards directly linked to Yue (the other being The Windy).

Sakura uses Watery in an attempt to defeat Earthy in Episode 45, but Earthy does not seem to be affected by Watery's powers.

In the second movie, Sakura uses Watery at the beginning of the movie to vanquish a fire monster created by the Create in a battle scene for one of Tomoyo's videos. However, the Nothing soon captures Watery and it plays no further part in the movie.

Watery resembles a blue mermaid with webbed fingers and large ears that appear to be a cross between webbed flippers and pointed elf's ears. It has no legs but instead rides on a column of water that resembles a tail. Watery can also dissolve itself into any body of water, becoming indistinguishable from its surroundings.

In Episode 63, Sakura transforms Watery to save Rika from drowning in a pool gone haywire. In Volume 11 of the manga, Sakura transforms Watery to avoid Eriol's fire attack.

The Wave

The Wave (æ³¢) capture is never seen in the anime but, from its name, it has been surmised that it is a less powerful version of Watery, probably able to control existing water near it but unable to create new water magically like Watery can. Wave's card form shows a stream, implying some affiliation with water. Wave's capture is not shown directly in the series, but episode 36 shows that Sakura had captured it over spring break (the time period following episode 35).

Wave is transformed in Episode 53 during Sakura's frantic wave of transformations.

The Windy

The Windy (é¢¨) is one of the four elemental cards. It has a gentle personality and is able to control winds and create powerful whirlwinds. It is one of Sakura's most useful cards, as it helps her capture other Clow Cards by binding them in its winds. Windy is also the only Clow Card that Sakura does not have to capture, as it is in her hand at the time the other Cards scatter (episode 1). In the anime, Windy can be used by the other cards as a conduit to communicate with each other. Windy is one of the two elemental cards directly linked to Yue (the other being The Watery).

Windy is first seen in volume 1 of the manga, by which time it had already been captured. Sakura plans to use Windy to capture Thunder in Episode 8, but Syaoran informs her gruffly that Thunder is immune to Windy's powers. She uses Windy in Episode 22 to successfully capture Sleep.
Sakura uses Windy to defeat Yue in the Final Judgement, despite the fact that Windy is one of the cards under his jurisdiction.

In Episode 69, when Sakura battles Eriol, Sakura uses Windy to try to defeat Eriol, as it overpowered Yue in the Final Judgement, but Eriol easily disperses Windy.

In the second movie, Windy is one of the last cards that Sakura possesses, and she uses it in a desperate attempt to retrieve the cards that the Nothing stole from her, but even Windy's mighty winds were unable to return the stolen Sakura Cards.

Windy is mostly yellow-colored and looks like a woman with wings (like a Butterfly) on her shoulders and coming out of her forehead. Windy is transformed in Episode 53. Sakura uses it to try to catch the frantic Dash, unsuccessfully at first, but later with success.

The Wood

The Wood (æ¨¹) is a gentle spirit that is able to create trees, branches, and vines. Sakura often uses Wood to form cages with which to trap other Clow Cards. Although gentle in nature, Wood sometimes becomes "overexcited" when exposed to water cards like Rain, and it can even draw enough power from them to escape its card form even after capture.

Sakura, even after the use of many other cards, could not capture the Earthy, but, in accordance with the Chinese balance of five elements, wood is superior to earth, so Wood was able to overpower Earthy. In episode 4 of the anime, Sakura simply finds Wood in card form in her basement, but she forgets to sign her name on the card, leading to Wood's escaping and ransacking Sakura's house.

Sakura uses Wood in Episode 15 to cushion the descent of a small girl who had been whisked into the air by the Float. It is revealed in the Season 2 Finale that Wood is one of the cards under Yue's jurisdiction.

In the second movie, Sakura uses Wood in an attempt to capture the Nothing, who was hiding behind a mirror of a Monster House of an amusement park, but fails and Nothing quickly captures Wood.

Although Wood can form herself into trees and branches, her natural form appears to be a small mossy green and yellow wood nymph about 8 inches high. She has long green leaf-like hair with vines and wears tiara made of leaves.

In Episode 67, Sakura used Wood to constrain a magical horse that was attacking her.
