SonoShiko

SonoShiko is the femslash ship between Sonomi and Nadeshiko from the Cardcaptor Sakura fandom.

Canon
Sonomi had loved and protected Nadeshiko since kindergarten. Which is one of the reasons why Sonomi adores Sakura Kinomoto so much, treating her as her own daughter. Nadeshiko died at the age of 27, three years after giving birth to Sakura. Sonomi initially blames Nadeshiko’s death on Fujitaka Kinomoto, Sakura’s father, who was their teacher in high school. In his first year as a teacher, Fujitaka was charmed by Nadeshiko, and they soon married when she was 16.

Nadeshiko’s death was due to other factors, however. So in episode 10, Sonomi meets Fujitaka once again. And she confesses that she never wanted to "give out" Nadeshiko to him, which is why she challenged him to countless contests that she always lost. Sonomi also tells Fujitaka that she loved Nadeshiko, more than just as a cousin, confirming the crush she had on her. Fujitaka understands that Nadeshiko loved Sonomi, too, and apologizes that he was the one who got to spend time with her between her sixteenth and twenty-seventh birthdays. Sonomi quickly responds that such is the reason she dislikes him so much.

Sonomi adored Nadeshiko very much the same way Tomoyo does Sakura. However, whereas Tomoyo selflessly keeps her feelings for Sakura hidden (and even tries to bring Sakura and Syaoran together), Sonomi was a jealous person when it came to getting Nadeshiko’s attention. Tomoyo tells Sakura that the reason her Mother wants Tomoyo’s hair to grow long is so it resembles Nadeshiko’s. Episode 62 and the ending of the second movie, however, appears to hint of a growing affection for Fujitaka that she has hidden in her dislike for the man. Both of them unite in the fact they deeply loved Nadeshiko while she was alive.

Sonomi declares that Nadeshiko was the person she loved the most, and she also calls her "an angel".

Fanon
SonoShiko is a rare ship in the fandom. Specially since most fans ship younger characters, due to the fact Sonomi is an adult and Nadeshiko is dead, the ship is not so popular. Many fans stablish connections of this ship with TomoSaku. And highlight the fact that, while Sonomi never liked Sakura’s father due to the fact he started dating Sakura’s mother when she was a minor and he was an adult, and her teacher, Tomoyo supports Sakura and cares about her happiness above anything, which is why she helps Syaoran  to confess to Sakura. This ship currently only has 1 work in AO3.
