Characters

Primary Characters

  • Syaoran

The son of the archeologist in Clow country responsible for beginning research on the Clow ruins; he befriended Sakura upon arriving in Clow country with his father when he was very young. In the beginning he was shy and often recoiled at Sakura's outreaches to him, though over the years began to open up and adapt in his environment. Syaoran had a habit of being very formal with Sakura, as she was his country's princess, regardless of Sakura's efforts to persuade him otherwise. He takes pride in being knowledgeable and is constantly seeking new things to learn as well as improving upon what he already knows. He is resilient and always provides protection for Sakura when she is in need of aide. When Sakura lost her memories, a desperate Syaoran was sent to another world to begin his journey to help Sakura to regain them.

  • Princess Sakura

The princess of Clow country and the younger sister of the now King Touya; Sakura is a caring girl and has a genuinely good nature, because of this she is very adored by her people. She befriended Syaoran at a young age, her bright personality forcing him from his shell. Her bright outlook, clumsiness and often naive way of thinking eventually caused Syaoran to warm up to her and created an unbreakable friendship. Before Sakura had the chance to tell Syaoran of her feelings for him, she was called back to the castle. Shortly after, an event happened that caused Sakura to lose all her memories in the form of feathers. Now, all that remains of Sakura is an empty shell of what once was and the thousands of her scattered memories.

  • Kurogane

A ninja from a variation of Japan, known as Kingdom of Japan; Kurogane has been on an endless quest for a constant gain of power since he was very young. Taken in by Princess Tomoyo and raised in the royal household, Kurogane became a personal ninja for the Princess and despite his constant bitter attitude towards her, cares a great amount for her and her well-being. Tomoyo, worried that Kurogane’s bloodlust would lead him to become an unsalvageable person, bared him with a curse in which every time he was to kill, his strength would be weakened.
