Character Name: Touya-ou Series Taken From: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Point Taken from Canon: Just after the attack on the Clow Ruins Character Age: He appears to be in his early twenties Special Abilities: All that is known is that he is good with a sword and is very good at reading people and feeling their auras.
Background:
Touya is the son of Clow in the country of Clow. Now that his father has passed away, he is now the king of their country. He is also the older brother to Sakura whom he is very protective of. To him, Syaoran is the one that would take his precious sister away from him. He also initially felt that Syaoran possessed a rather unsettling presence within him and confronted his father about it, though Touya later admits that the feeling went away as Syaoran opened up to Sakura.
The current king of Clow is very close to his advisor and best friend, Yukito. He relied on him constantly for companionship and advice when he wasn’t sure which way to go. For the most part, not much else is known about this version of Touya.
As Yukito attempts to tell Touya that his sister is destined to be with Syaoran for the millionth time, they both notice that something is happening at the Clow Ruins. After running there, he fights off the minions of Fei Wong Reed, but is badly injured in the process.
Personality:
He is very similar to his doppelganger from Card Captor Sakura. Touya has a dry sense of humor and enjoys picking on his little sister. It is evident that he has a ‘sister-complex’, but it never goes beyond his teasing and giving her a hard time in general. On the other had, he isn’t fond of her best friend and ‘fated one’, Syaoran. Touya often calls Syaoran a brat and questions Yukito often about whether or not he really is sure that the kid is meant for Sakura.
Fiercely loyal in all ways, he will sacrifice himself in order to protect his people and more specifically, his sister and Yukito. This can be seen in how he fights off the people sent by Fei Wong Reed alone at the beginning of the Tsubasa series when he wants to be sure Sakura is safe. Touya is also very temperamental with certain people. The shortest fuse he shows is around Syaoran. After all, none are good enough in his eyes to have his sister. Therefore the boy is dubbed a ‘brat’ no matter what good qualities he shows.
Otherwise he is good natured and hard working. He handles responsibility very well and never shirks his duties as a king, friend, or brother.
Writing Sample for Character:
The poisoned blades had broken into skin and caused dark red blood to stain soft black material. He remembered the assassins that had come; he remembered fighting so hard to get to the ruins. Sakura, he had to get to Sakura. Touya vaguely recalled finding the brat. What had he said? Is Sakura ok? That was when things got cloudy. He’d fallen into warm arms and he felt somewhat safe. It was a feeling that Yukito gave him so easily.
His limp form was placed to the side, he heard Yukito talking to the brat, and then there was nothing. It was like a cold suction of power. Touya knew magic, but he couldn’t place where or how this was happening. Poison was dizzying his mind and making things unclear. Black tendrils were wrapping about him and he tried so hard to reach out. “Yuki—” But it was too late.
Darkness overwhelmed him only to have him land hard on solid ground. Panting heavily, he lifted his head to see what had happened. But it wasn’t the desert that he saw. Brow furrowed in pain, he tried to move, but he couldn’t, only finding that he collapsed back to the ground. It wasn’t good. Sakura was in danger… Yukito… he couldn’t just sit here. But where was here?
