Personality[]
Original Japanese[]
Madoushi was a fortune teller in Hong Kong who was quite popular until Clow Reed came to town. Despite not being a fortune teller himself, Clow Reed made future predictions that were more accurate than Madoushi's, which angered her, and led her to challenge him to one fight after another. She created a dimensions where she would hide and wait for Clow Reed to come and wait after her death. However, she is definitely not without compassion, as viewers were initially led to believe that she has always despised Clow Reed, but according to a flashback of Clow Reed giving her a hair ornament as a birthday present, it was revealed that the two started falling in love at one point.
Cardcaptors English Dub[]
Imprisoned in a watery dimension by Clow Reed for many years had her effects on Madoushi. Beforehand she was a loving and caring woman, falling in love with Clow Reed and was taught how to perform magic and sorcery. However, she began abusing her magic for corrupted purposes, leading to a confrontation with Clow Reed who imprisoned her in another dimension as punishment. This made Madoushi very much obsessed with revenge, waiting many years for the chance to exact vengeance on Clow Reed, yet maintained some form of longing to see him again. She has a short temper, and can easily grow impatient, as seen when she demands to know where Clow Reed when Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li appear in her dimension. Despite her anger and vengeful desires, she displays a sense of sadness and inner-turmoil, and has a compassionate side as well. She has strong perceptive abilities, but is unable to recognize Clow Reed's magical energy from Sakura's.
