Viewers may have noticed, usually Maddison's role in Sakura's card hunting exploits is little more than that of a supporting character. That and video taping her friend in action. Her loyal camcorder comes in handy to record all of Sakura's memorable moments in film. This is due to the fact that she doesn't possess any magical powers, so she can't fight or protect Sakura. Not that it's ever necessary. Our protagonist does just fine by herself and when she does need help, Lee shows up and pitches in anyway. So, keeping that in mind, some may find surprising that this time there is a capture that relies heavily on Maddison to be successful. It turns that the singing card will only surrender in the presence of someone talented enough to sing, which happens to be Maddison's speciality. Actually, Maddison does prove herself to be quite skilled at a number of endeavours. She has a very sharp eye for fashion design and goes to great lengths to hand sew all of Sakura's "battle costumes" herself. She's also an avid reader as evidenced by the pile of books she would check out of the library and finish them on a casual weekend. Perhaps that's the reason that they didn't make her another card captor, unlike Sakura and Lee. The character is already gifted enough. Anyway, as required by Kero, she steps up and proceeds to sing the required high notes with deadly serious poise, thus appeasing the Clow Card's spirit. Everyone is happy in the end, except Meilin, who wanted to have a go at singing, but for some reason the Clow Card didn't want her to...
