Don't you see? The people close to me tend to get hurt. That's all I've ever wanted to prevent.
~ Fai to Kurogane

Fai D. Flowright is one of the main protagonists in the manga/anime series Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. He is a mysterious, extremely powerful magician from the world of Celes who sought out Yuuko Ichihara at the same time as Syaoran and Kurogane, and became one of Syaoran's companions in his quest to save Princess Sakura, who had her memories scattered across dimensions in the form of feathers.

He is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa in the Japanese version of the anime and Vic Mignogna in the English version, the former of whom also voices Yashiro Isana, Rokuro Okajima and Waver Velvet.

Appearance[]

Fai is a fairly tall, young-looking man with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. His usual outfit consists of a blue mink coat with a fluffy hood.

Personality[]

Fai is, in many ways, the exact opposite of Kurogane; while Kurogane desires only to return to his country, Fai desires to never return to his. Additionally, while Kurogane is very serious and solitary, Fai generally comes off as very happy-go-lucky, good-natured, friendly and carefree. He often teases Kurogane, calling him ridiculous nicknames such as "Kuro-rin" and "Kuro-tan". However, Fai has also been shown to be as perceptive and a skilled fighter as Kurogane. He is also very enigmatic, as very little about him is initially known to the others, and he appears to both be carrying a deep emotional burden and values his own life very little.

In battle, Fai doesn't bother to fight very hard even if his life is at risk, and will only do so if someone he cares for is in danger. Though he hides his unhappiness well, Kurogane and Mokona are able to see past the facade, and when the former confronts him about it, Fai usually gives very dark and enigmatic answers. His past is a profound motivating factor for his actions and is something he cannot seem to overcome; instead he masks it all with a smile.

Despite acting outwardly friendly, Fai is emotionally distant, refusing to allow anyone to become too close to him. However, Kurogane has noted that the mage has allowed himself to become attached to Syaoran and Sakura. Subsequently, Fai's behavior changes significantly after he becomes a vampire and is forced to regularly drink Kurogane's blood to survive; he becomes much colder and very solemn around everyone, and begins addressing Kurogane by his real name in order to try to kill the bond between them, confessing to Yuko that he had 'crossed the line' that he had drawn for himself and become too close to him. However, after the events in Celes, Fai seems to have gone back to the way he was at the beginning of the series, as he once again addresses Kurogane with quirky and cutesy nicknames, and he seems to give a more genuine smile now.

Tying into the above point, despite his intial attempts to remain emotionally distant, Fai worries about his companions and would go as far as breaking his own personal vows to ensure their safety. Kurogane confronts Fai about this, and states that Fai should figure out what he's doing with his present and future, because his past has nothing to do with either Kurogane or their younger companions. Fai tells Kurogane that he should not worry or care about him, which Kurogane responds to by telling him his past doesn't matter to him, so he should focus more on his current self. After Kurogane leaves, Fai collapses in emotional exhaustion and states that this is too hard for him.
