I think Watanuki's feelings for Yuuko by the end of the series are far too ambiguous to truly declare as platonic. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. Whatever it is, he is still mourning her.

* MagicalBarefooter: Justified as most of her appearances are indoors in a traditional Japanese house, although in an instance she highlights it with a sultry leg pose when stepping out of the bath.
* MagicalBarefooter: Very much like Yuuko, due to most of their appearances being inside the shop (as they cannot even leave the shop or its terrains, they have even less of a need of footwear than their mistress). In this case, the magical part is not due to being magic users, but rather magical beings.

* HairTriggerTemper: ''VERY'' easy to annoy. Much of the comedy in the series comes from his over-the-top yelling and complaining about the crazy things he encounters or is forced to do against his will. It doesn't help that it some of his peers ''intentionally'' try to do things to set him off for their own amusement. This eventually diminishes as his character mellows out, though he remains easy to put into an irritated mood.

* TheNotLoveInterest: To Watanuki. The series starts with him meeting her and she pulls him into a MistressAndServantBoy relationship. Eventually, Yuuko becomes a person of incomparable emotional significance to Watanuki and after [[spoiler:her death]], she also becomes his LostLenore as he continues living for the sole purpose of waiting forever to see her again even though he knows it's practically impossible that ever happens. Despite developing such devotion for Yuuko, there's no definite indications that Watanuki loves her romantically or vice versa.

Where she comes from, how she got to be the Dimensional Witch, how her powers and abilities work, and even her intentions for helping out Watanuki and his friends are all left rather ambiguous for most of the story, until the MindScrew ending. While she changes up her style frequently, she is often seen wearing the color purple. She's also given a [[SchrodingersButterfly butterfly motif]] that too is often shown to be purple or emitting a soft purple glow.
