Kobato has a mission to fill a mysterious bottle with people's healed hearts.
However, it wasn't explained in the anime as to why she has this mission or
her origin. [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobato.#Characters)
doesn't seem to know anything about it as well so I'm curious if CLAMP ever
mentioned her story before she came collecting jar of hearts and why she had
that wish to go to a certain place. Or was her story featured in any of the
CLAMP's multiverse or in the manga?

Ooops.. Sorry my bad. I was too lazy to read the whole
[page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobato.#Characters) when it already
contained the answer.. :P
