She is voiced by Yūko Minaguchi in the Japanese version and Janyse Jaud in the English dub. Nadeshiko also makes an appearance in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.Nadeshiko was a woman of renowned beauty that allowed her to work as a model from a very young age. She was of average height, had snow white skin, and long flowing silver hair. Nadeshiko appears as a spirit wearing a flowing white dress and sporting a pair of white wings. In certain art peices by Clamp, her hair is colored purple. When her hair is purple, combined with her very light skin color, she bears a resemblence to her cousin's daughter Tomoyo Daidouji.Nadeshiko's personality is revealed through the dialogue of other characters as well as flashbacks. She was a cheerful young lady, but extremely clumsy (as she would fall down while simply walking down a sidewalk); even physical education classes and sports were impossible for her. It is also stated that her cooking could never be considered good, even just to be polite. Depsite these flaws, she put her heart into whatever she did, as evidenced when she used to give Valentine's Day chocolate to Fujitaka, Sonomi, Masaki, and later Touya. She is also kind and caring. Despite her untimely death, she still watches over her family from time to time.
Cardcaptor Sakura
Sakura Kinomoto is your garden-variety ten-year-old fourth grader, until one day, she stumbles upon a mysterious book containing a set of cards. Unfortunately, she has little time to divine what the cards mean because she accidentally stirs up a magical gust of wind and unintentionally scatters the cards all over the world. Suddenly awakened from the book, the Beast of the Seal, Keroberos (nicknamed Kero-chan), tells Sakura that she has released the mystical Clow Cards created by the sorcerer Clow Reed. The Cards are no ordinary playthings. Each of them possesses incredible powers, and because they like acting independently, Clow sealed all the Cards within a book. Now that the Cards are set free, they pose a grave danger upon the world, and it is up to Sakura to prevent the Cards from causing a catastrophe! Appointing Sakura the title of "the Cardcaptor" and granting her the Sealed Key, Keroberos tasks her with finding and recapturing all the Cards. Alongside her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji, and with Kero-chan's guidance, Sakura must learn to balance her new secret duty with the everyday troubles of a young girl involving love, family, and school, all while she takes flight on her magical adventures as Sakura the Cardcaptor.
