OVA
Description
Yuuko Ichihara, the Dimensional Witch, oversees a mystical shop granting wishes in exchange for precisely equivalent sacrifices. Her existence began when sorcerer Clow Reed unintentionally froze her in time during a near-death encounter, extending her lifespan through a stray wish for her survival. This act made her a target for Fei Wang Reed, who sought supremacy over Clow by manipulating dimensional events.
Her shop operates beyond conventional space-time, accessible solely to those with profound desires. She enforces strict equivalent exchange—prices ranging from physical objects to abstract concepts like memories or luck—demanding exact value parity. With Clow Reed, she created the twin Mokona Modoki, Soel and Larg, foreseeing their future role in enabling interdimensional travel for Syaoran’s group.
In *Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle*, she orchestrates the journey of Syaoran, Sakura, Kurogane, and Fai D. Flowright, providing the white Mokona to collect Sakura’s scattered memory feathers across worlds. Each traveler pays a personal cost: Syaoran sacrifices Sakura’s memories of him, Kurogane relinquishes his sword Ginryū, and Fai surrenders the tattoo restraining his magic. As the narrative unfolds, she reveals critical truths—exposing Syaoran as a clone and Sakura’s soul as cloned—directly countering Fei Wang Reed’s schemes.
During the Tokyo Revelations arc, her intervention proves pivotal amid catastrophe in ruined Tokyo. After clone Syaoran wounds Fai and steals his eye, she remotely brokers a life-saving exchange via Mokona: Kurogane wishes to save Fai, while Subaru Kamui wishes to restore Tokyo’s water. The price manifests through Sakura, who endures a perilous solo quest and sustains injuries mirroring Syaoran’s past wounds.
Her personality merges eccentricity with deep wisdom. She exhibits playful quirks—imbibing alcohol, demanding elaborate meals from assistant Kimihiro Watanuki, and wearing flamboyant, unrepeated outfits—yet speaks cryptically of *hitsuzen* (inevitability), stressing all events as interconnected and necessary. She rigorously mentors Watanuki, shielding him from spirits while imparting harsh truths about self-determination.
Her death culminates her defiance against Fei Wang Reed. After he resurrects her to assert dominance over Clow Reed, she sacrifices herself to atone for his manipulations of clone Syaoran and Sakura. Using accumulated "prices" from her shop and remnants of Clow’s magic, she enables the clones’ rebirth as normal humans in the past. Before vanishing, she expresses her final wish to Watanuki: for him to continue existing. Her legacy persists through Watanuki, who inherits her shop and role across centuries, sustaining it in hope of her return.
