Fay D. Flourite is a character in the manga Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE by acclaimed manga artist group CLAMP. The romanization of his name has also been expressed as Fye D. Flourite, Fai D. Flowright, or any combination of the three.
Story
His first appearance in the manga is in chapter 2, where he is about to leave his country, the country of Ceres/Seles/Seresu. His past is largely unknown; compared to Syaoran and Kurogane, his motives to joining Syaoran are the least clear. What is known about him is that he is connected to Ashura-ou (originally from RG Veda), the King of Ceres, whom Fai has now trapped in a state of eternal (or near eternal slumber) and that he has transformed his "creation", Chii (originally from Chobits) into a net-like shield to serve as a sort of alarm for Fai should Ashura awaken.
His greatest desire becomes ensuring he never returns to Celes, fearing an unknown consequence if Ashura should awaken. It appears likely that Ashura or those in his service are capable of tracking Fai. Otherwise, little would prevent him from simply staying in one of the many worlds he has travelled to so far. Unlike the other members of Syaoran's group, Fai does not require the magic of another to arrive at the shop of the Space-Time Witch, Yūko Ichihara, instead, he uses his own magic to send himself because he is a mage. While he does possess the power to travel to other dimensions, Fai notes that he (and others with the power to send others through dimensions like the High Priest of Clow and Princess Tomoyo) are limited in this ability and usually must use a great deal of magic to accomplish the task. Yūko Ichihara, as he states, is currently the only person who possesses the power to send people through multiple dimensions.
Character
Of Syaoran's group of allies, Fay is the most enigmatic. He appears to be happy-go-lucky, good natured, and acts like a fool, but has been shown to be as perceptive as Kurogane and a skilled fighter. However, it has also been seen that he does not value his life and that he hides a deep emotional burden.
Fay sports a tattoo in the shape of a phoenix, which spreads all the way across his back and wraps around his body. This tattoo is the "most precious thing" that Fay pays in order to have Yūko grant his wish to maintain dimensional distance from Celes.
Template:Spoiler While initially believed that he could no longer use magic without the tattoo, it is later revealed that Fay can still use magic; it is that he refuses to use magic without the tattoo. While he manages to use "small magic" to detect things such as barriers, he breaks the vow once in the world of Rekord in order to aid the group's escape after stealing back one of Sakura's feathers.
