Fai D. Flourite

Fai's Theme; Strange Names


From: Anime and Manga, Tsubasa Chronicle

Other names: Fye D. Flowright, Yuui

Bio: Fai is a powerful magician from Celes country. His real name is Yuui and he has an identical twin brother named Fai. In Valeria, where they were born, twins are considered a bad omen. Their father, the second prince, dies and their mother commits suicide as well as many other misfortunes upon the country. The king entraps the twins at opposite ends of a tower that stops the flow of time. Yuui is put at the base of the tower. Bodies eventually begin to fill the base of the tower, and Yuui attempts to climb towards his brother, though the king eventually jumps into the tower, revealing that he has killed everyone in the country, and then kills himself to remind them that they are the cause of everything. Fei Wang Reed (the main antagonist of the series) appears to Fai (at the top of the tower) and offers to save one of them. Fai chooses Yuui and is then thrown off the tower. Fei Wang Reed changes Yuui's memory to make him think that he chose to kill Fai and save himself. He is found by Ashura (a man from Celes country) and is taken to Celes. Using a magical feather, he preserves his brother's corpse and takes on his brother's name. Ashura tutors him in magic. He eventually learns that Ashura's purpose is to have him kill anyone who threatens the country, which means to kill Ashura himself, as Ashura kills people in order to make his magic stronger. Instead of fulfilling that role, he seals Ashura with a sleep spell instead. Fai has natural magic abilities that grow stronger every time he uses them, though he notes that they are only good for destruction. The source of Fai's magical powers is the blue color of his eyes, which also greatly increases his lifespan. His left eye increases his powers on usage while his right eye decreases his powers. Since his powers are directly connected to his eyeballs, a loss of vision leads directly to a loss of magic, and a total loss of magic would lead to his death. One of the curses placed upon him is a one-time action that forces him to kill anyone with power greater than his own. Ashura, wishing Fai to kill him, places a tattoo on Fai's back to keep him from growing stronger than himself. The other curse is to seal the dimension of Celes if someone other than himself kills Ashura. His powers are halved when Evil Syaoran (Syaoran is the main protagonist) eats one of his eyes. He is forced by Kurogane (another protagonist) to become a vampire to save his life. He gains regeneration and no longer has to rely on his magic to survive, though he has to regularly drink Kurogane's blood. He later gives up the rest of his magic in order to pay a "price" for a new arm for Kurogane from the dimensional witch, which leaves him with a permanently yellow vampiric eye. Later he recovers his lost left eye, which Syaoran had been using. The magic, which had been increasing every time the clone used it, is strong enough to restore Fai's lost eye. His magic is returned to him and he is able to use it to its full potential.

Personality: Fai seems to have a carefree attitude and a disregard for his own life. He often makes false smiles to make sure others do not worry about him. Kurogane notices this and makes a point of telling him that he hates those who do not protect their lives. Fai constantly teases Kurogane, calling him nicknames like Kurorin and Kurpon. He is good at cooking and drawing because of their part in magic.
