Fay D. Flourite, born Yuui in Valeria Country, endured a childhood marred by tragedy. He and his twin brother Fai were branded cursed after their birth triggered their mother’s suicide and calamities across the land. Imprisoned separately by the fearful king, the twins languished until Fei Wong Reed offered freedom to one. Fai selflessly secured Yuui’s release, only for Fei Wong to warp Yuui’s memories—implanting false guilt over his brother’s death—and bind him with dual curses to further his schemes. Renaming himself Fay D. Flourite to honor Fai, he was taken to Celes Country by King Ashura, who mentored him in magic and inked a phoenix tattoo to contain his volatile power. In Celes, Fay’s magic leaned toward devastation, yet Ashura urged him to channel warmth through his smile. When Ashura succumbed to monstrous transformation, Fay sealed him beneath icy waters and fled to Yūko Ichihara’s sanctuary, desperate to evade his past. Joining Syaoran’s companions, he cloaked his anguish behind playful antics and affectionate nicknames, especially for Kurogane. Beneath the cheer lay relentless guilt and a willingness to sacrifice himself for others. Fay’s path forced reckoning with Fei Wong’s curses. A vampiric turn drove him to cold formality with Kurogane, though his playful veneer resurfaced as bonds deepened. The group’s clash with Clone Syaoran stripped Fay of his left eye and magic, shifting his role yet cementing his loyalty. The *Spring Thunder* OVA revealed Fay’s resilience as diminished power pushed him to master blades and fists. Flashbacks underscored his torment during battles with Seishiro, contrasting past prowess with present fragility. His struggles remained inward, tethered to loyalty and survival. Fay’s journey culminated in shattering Fei Wong’s curses, the phoenix tattoo’s erasure symbolizing rebirth. His dynamic with Kurogane matured into mutual trust, reflecting hard-won self-acceptance. Freed from past chains, he stepped into a future unshadowed by guilt or manipulation.
