...knows the difference between fiction ("CardCaptor Sakura" - the manga by CLAMP & the "Pokemon"-annihilating anime series) and reality. Her Key Staff is merely a plastic replica* of Sakura's, and the Clow Cards she has** are nothing more than illustrations on laminated card.

"I mean, there is a certain point in your life that you become receptive to higher-level thinking. That is the time when you are able to not only fully start understanding scriptural meanings, but you are also able to distinguish that storybook magic is not true."

*- "xxxHOLiC", anyone? Watanuki cleaning Yuuko's Treasure Room, and finding said Staff; a copy of the original made for Sakura by Clow 'The Creep' Reed. Coincidence? 'There is no such thing as Coincidence in this world. There is only Hitsuzen ('Inevitability'). X3
**- I had a pic of her posing, holding four Cards between her fingers, but I can't seem to find it. Arse. (*grump!*) ):<
