[[File:55687_3224.jpg|framethumb|250px|The greatest happiness is seeing someone you like stay happy.]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: Subverted. {{spoiler|Toya gives up his powers to Yue to heal him.}}

[[File:75610_6715.jpg|framethumb|250px]]

* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]: Heartwarmingly subverted in the manga, as he gains the ability of seeing his wife Nadeshiko's ghost. So, they're reunited without him needing to die! Awww!}}

=== Nadeshiko Kinomoto ===

[[File:72389_5712.jpg|framethumb|250px]]

Sakura's deceased mother who was a famous model, Nadeshiko was Sonomi's best friend {{spoiler|and cousin}} whom Sonomi was ''very'' protective over.

* [[Death by Origin Story]]: Died of [[Ill Girl|an unspecified illness]] when Sakura was three. Her spirit watches over her family, and even saved Sakura's life when she was confronted by the Illusion Card, but only Touya can see her. {{spoiler|Later Touya gives up his ability to see her to save Yue/Yukito... but in the manga, Fujitaka gets it and they're happily reunited.}}

== Other Students ==

Toya's best friend and Sakura's first love interest. A kind, spectacled [[Big Eater]], Yukito is incredibly friendly with Sakura and her friends. {{spoiler|It is revealed he is actually Yue, the second guardian of the Clow Cards and assigned to appoint the next owner of the cards. He becomes an ally to Sakura after she passes the Final Judgement.}}

* [[The Archer]]: An accomplished sportsman, we see him once in an archery competition. {{spoiler|As Yue, his [[Weapon of Choice]] is a supply of beam arrows.}}

* [[Big Eater]]: At first just for the [[Moe]], then we learn that {{spoiler|it's because his magical energy is getting drained by Yue's latent and then explicit existence.}}

* [[Heavy Sleeper]] - [[Sleepyhead]]: Subverted. {{spoiler|The reason why he falls asleep randomly and is very weakened in the second part is because of the lack of a stable spiritual energy source, rather than simply being tired or sick).}}

* {{spoiler|[[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: As Yukito, he can't recall what his Yue side does. That is, until Touya gives him his powers and he gains access to Yue's own side.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Long-Haired Pretty Boy|Long]] [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Man in White]]: As Yue.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: {{spoiler|His surname contains the character for 'moon.' Yue is Mandarin Chinese for 'moon'.}}

* [[Raised by Grandparents]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. Yukito's grandparents never really existed, as they're a part of his [[Fake Memories]]: he believes they're always traveling instead.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Split Personality]]: Sort-of, with Yue. It's... complicated.}}

* [[The Stoic]]: {{spoiler|Yue}}.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Toyed with rather interestingly. Yukito only partially looks the part, as he's rather tall and softspoken but lacks the dark hair, yet he is only about equal with Sakura in kindness and politeness. {{spoiler|(The reason why Sakura liked him was because of Yukito's strong resemblance to Fujitaka, ''the'' YN of the series). As for Yue, he averts this: his language is rather crude (certainly not humble), and in the anime he is even called a foreigner to Japan outright.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Winged Humanoid]]: Yue has a rather prominent pair of white feathered wings.}}

=== Meiling Li ===

[[File:70024_2788.jpg|framethumb|250px]]

=== Eriol Hiiragizawa ===

=== Naoko Yanagisawa ===

[[File:55198_6555.jpg|framethumb|250px]]

=== Chiharu Mihara ===

[[File:55199_9098.jpg|framethumb|250px]]

* [[Hot for Teacher]]: {{spoiler|For Mr. Terada}}.

* [[Precocious Crush]]: On Terada-sensei. {{spoiler|In the manga he likes her back, though they wisely decide to wait until she's older.}}

=== Takashi Yamazaki ===

[[File:55709_4530.jpg|framethumb|250px]]

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Chiharu calls him "lines-for-eyes" due to this. They actually open on a few occasions. Meiling believes that they open every time he tells the truth. {{spoiler|Not really, they were just open because Chiharu was stepping on his foot.}}

== Magical Beings ==

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Sorta, since Mirror seems to have developed a onesided crush on Touya since he treated her very kindly {{spoiler|despite how she got him injured}} and kept being nice to her afterwards. {{spoiler|He even got her a Christmas gift! [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Squeeee!]].}}

* [[No Name Given]]: The Nameless {{spoiler|until it fuses with the Nothing to create the Hope Card.}}

[[File:81882_718.jpg|framethumb|250px]]

Creator of the Clow Cards, Kero and Yue, Clow Reed died before the manga and anime. A powerful sorcerer in his own right, he reincarnates as Eriol and {{spoiler|Fujitaka}}.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Creating well-intentioned spirits that are so difficult to control that they need to be sealed away lest they cause trouble for everyone, and {{spoiler|sealing his ex-girlfriend in an alternate dimension to stew for God-knows-how-long because she was practicing dark magic.}}

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Sorta. {{spoiler|She is perhaps the nearest to being genuinely antagonistic out of Eriol's posse. Is intentionally interfering with Touya and Yukito so the former can't save the latter as his magic fades, in a sense [[Fridge Horror|she is attempting to ensure Yue fades and dies]] (the creepy smirk she frequently gives Yukito as she plays it out doesn't help). When she realises it is futile, however, she gives in quickly and limits herself to aiding Eriol in his plans.}}

* [[Put on a Bus]]: Twice; once in Touya's backstory, and again after the first arc. Both times she goes to England to study {{spoiler|and meet up with Eriol}}.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] - [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Anime personality, where she's very sweet and gentle but more aloof and shady. {{spoiler|Or more exactly, that's what she wants us to believe.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: ''Finally'' responds and moves onto the afterlife after a [[World of Cardboard Speech]] from Sakura.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ghostly Goals]]}}

== Other Adults ==

Tomoyo's mother and Nadeshiko's best friend plus {{spoiler|cousin}}. She resents Fujitaka from marrying Nadeshiko at such a young age but is thrilled to be in Sakura's company.

[[File:104309_2638.jpg|framethumb|250px]]

* [[Lolicon]]: Played with in the manga, as {{spoiler|he ''does'' like Rika back, but tells her to wait [[The Jailbait Wait|until she's of age]].}} In the anime, he's just oblivious to her feelings.

=== Maki Matsumoto ===

== The Li Family ==
