Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura)

Sakura Kinomoto (木之本 桜, Kinomoto Sakura) is a fictional character, the heroine and the main protagonist of CLAMP's manga series Cardcaptor Sakura and its anime adaptation. She is introduced as a 10-year-old hardcore tomboy who lives in the town of Tomoeda in Japan where she attends Tomoeda Elementary School during the Clow Card Arc and Sakura Card Arc story-line. In Clear Card Arc story-line, she is a freshmen attending Tomoeda Junior High School.

Why She Magically Rocks

 * 1) She was Clamp's most iconic tomboy.
 * 2) She is very energetic, cute, tough, combative, happy, giggly, beautiful, sweet, cheerful, kind and extremely tomboyish.
 * 3) To increase her cuteness, toughness, brutalness and boyishness, and make herself the most powerful hardcore tomboy in the universe, she commonly wears her most iconic everyday outfit is her school uniform, which is officially doubled as her combative sailor-suited battle outfit, the latter of which changes depending on the season.
 * 4) * Her winter school uniform is a black long sleeved shirt with red and white sleeve cuffs, a white neckerchief with a red stripe, and a white pleated miniskirt with a frilly white knee-length petticoat.
 * 5) * On particularly cold days, she wears a thick black coat with her schools insignia on the back.
 * 6) * Her summer uniform is a white half-sleeved shirt with a red neckerchief and a black pleated miniskirt.
 * 7) * Every year, a pair of very shiny black Mary Jane shoes are worn along with white socks and a white sailor hat with a black trim.
 * 8) Like most of these hardcore tomboys, Sakura always loves more hardcore boyish hobbies, including sports, fighting, watching action movies, skateboarding (sometimes roller skating) and playing violent video games.
 * 9) She was really born with her ultra magical powers.
 * 10) She is very athletic, being a member of her school's cheer-leading squad and an excellent runner, a trait she inherited from her father, a very tough fighter, and is very good at skateboarding, sports and video gaming.
 * 11) Despite her sweet nature, cuteness and beauty, Sakura has been shown to have a very vicious temper, rather she's punching with her barefists and kicking with her black Mary Jane shoes, due to her extreme boyishness.
 * 12) Her theme song, "She's the One" is pure action-oriented.
 * 13) Her clumsiness was extremely cute.
 * 14) She has her ultra happiness and optimistim.
 * 15) She was hardcore sailor-suited sports/skateboarding/video gaming chick, but she alway loves cute stuff, especially the cutesy plush toys.
 * 16) In the misinformed Nelvana dub, Sakura quickly became more boyish and speaks with her deep, boyish voice, thanks to Carly McKillip.

Trivia

 * Coincidentally, she and her Japanese voice actress share the name "Sakura".
