Inspiration
By SMYGO4EVA
Even when she was a princess herself, Tomoyo always found herself fascinated with the princess Sakura, from the Clow Kingdom. As she was born from royalty, she was accustomed to seeing the fine items in life, and Sakura was of no exception. She could tell that the princess was considered lucky because of she always came from an incident unscathed, even to be called "God's favorite daughter". She could hardly imagine such good luck, with what fate had to offer to her as a result of her memories being taken away from her. But still, Tomoyo held a special place for Sakura in her heart no matter whom she was or who she became.
Tomoyo had seen a lot of hardship over her years, and had seen plenty of the influence of fate that had been placed on souls deep in misfortune whenever she saw their dreams, wishing that she would prevent any more blood from spilling, but thus, she threw away her powers of dream-seeing, and that is why she wanted her only trusted warrior Kurogane o the quest to collect Sakura's feathers. So she would be of some help to the princess of the Clow Kingdom, in a way of some kind, so she could save Sakura as well.
It wasn't often that she saw the heir to the Clow Kingdom throne, but she always enjoyed her company. Sakura was almost unusual to her, as to be expected from a different kingdom, which made her the more fascinating to look into whenever she saw her. She was lithe and almost fragile, as if one drop of blood fell from her, she might as well have collapsed. Her real strength was her bloodline limit, and she was sensitive to others, but when it came to people she cared about, she never gave hope up, even in the face of death. She always saw the good side in people, but was wary of ones with ill intentions. She was strong and independent, yet she leaned on to Syaoran, Fai, and Kurogane when she was weak, physically and mentally. Sakura was an enigma, and that was probably why Tomoyo found her so fascinating and beautiful.
It was true; she was a sight to behold. Her emerald green eyes were spectacular when they lit up in happiness and shown as a beacon of hope to both herself and others. Her light brown hair framed her angelic and youthful face just perfectly, shining in the sun's rays where a halo would be placed upon her head. Her physical form was lithe and almost like a dancer's, where every movement was precise and had purpose in every step, but she was a fragile being. If her heart was broken, so was she.
Such grace and beauty was the key to achieving a unique kind of perfection when it came to Sakura in Tomoyo's eyes. In the end, it was her unwavering will and devotion to the ones she cared about was what had won Tomoyo over. It was Sakura that inspired Tomoyo to keep living. It was Sakura that inspired Tomoyo to believe that her own suffering and the suffering of others was not in vain, that there was a hidden meaning to the masterpiece called life after all. Sakura was Tomoyo's inspiration.
