20	[[folder: Main Characters]]
21
22	!Okumura Rin
23	The main character of the series. Son of Satan and newest Cardcaptor, he possesses great magical potential. Is 12 years old at the beginning of the series and 15 as of the start of the third arc.
24
25	* AlmightyJanitor: Has only just entered exorcist classes but is already capable due to his demon strength and sensing ability.
26	* ApathyKilledTheCat: Much of the conflict could be resolved if he just asked why the monastery keeps the fact that they're exorcists a secret from him or asked what is Yukio doing in cram school.
27	* BadassAdorable: He's a sweet 12/13-year old boy, but he has a SuperStrength and a powerful mage.
28	* BookDumb: Starts out as this. He has trouble at school and dislikes doing homework. After Sekki starts teaching and encouraging him he catches up academicly with his age group and mostly averts this, though he never learns to like school.
29	* ButNotTooForeign: His mother is half German, making him 1/4 German.
30	* CassandraTruth: Shura did not believe him when he tried to warn her of an attack he foresaw.
31	* ChefOfIron: Is both badass and a SupremeChef.
32	* TheChosenOne: Chosen by Sakura to become the latest Cardcaptor.
33	* CombatPragmatist: Uses whatever resources and strategies he has available to win.
34	** Uses magic in the middle of a physical battle with Fight.
35	** Uses Dash to win at tug-o-war against Power.
36	** Uses Shadow to escape Maze.
37	* DiscardAndDraw
38	* TheDreaded: Rin, among the Junior High students (and even the staff). Seeing as he considers fighting a gang of delinquents who attack him “punishment”, there is some reason to. Unfortunately it leads to Rin being ostracised, and unable to make friends easily because of his reputation.
39	* FriendToAllChildren: Rin. All of the kids in the hospital adore him and he often helps children whenever they need it. Eiji’s cousins love him as well.
40	* FriendlessBackground: He has no friends outside of his brother.
41	* HybridPower: Has both the blue fire of his father Satan and human magic from his mother.
42	* HeCleansUpNicely: Rin makes a genuinely stunning Snow White for the school play.
43	* IdiotBall: The normally fairly self aware Rin suddenly loses the ability to notice his own attraction to Renzou in the third arc.
44	* IneffectualLoner: He tries to keep people at a distance so they do not get endangered by but he really needs friends.
45	** He's starting to lighten up on this in ''Inheritance of Magic'', making friends with Ying Hua and accepting Naoko as a SecretKeeper.
46	** He seems to be over it in [=IoD=] thanks to his new classmates being potential exorcists.
47	* InnocentBlueEyes: Rin's eyes are his most noticeable and most eyecatching feature.
48	* LikesOlderWomen: Both of Rin's crushes have been on adult women.
49	* LineageComesFromTheFather: He is the son of Satan, afterall. [[spoiler: Although his magical heritage comes from his mother, who was a powerful human mage.]]
50	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: While he knows about the existence of demons and that all the priests at the monastery are Exorcists, he still doesn’t know that he is a half-demon nor that he is the [[AntiAntiChrist Son of Satan]] or about Yukio also being an exorcist.
51	** The early-middle chapters of [=IoM=] see him start to figure out about Yukio however.
52	** As of the second chapter of [=IoD=] he knows about Satan and Yukio.
53	* MagicalGirl: A male version, but he is the successor to Cardcaptor Sakura after all.
54	* ObliviousToLove: Fails to notice multiple people have crushes on him. Also fails to recognize his own crush on Renzou.
55	* PrecociousCrush: On Tsukishiro.[[spoiler: It later turns out that it's really because he's reacting to the magic within her, since Tsukishiro is the false form of Yue.]] It helps that she's the only teacher actually nice to him.
56	* RavenHairIvorySkin: He gets to play Snow White as a CrossCastRole for the school play because no one else had the looks for it -- not only the brunette locks and fair complexion, but the beauty.
57	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Despite still being sealed, his demonic eyes manifest briefly in Chapter 24 when he believes Snow has buried the bag with Shiro’s present. Cue UnstoppableRage.
58	* RealMenWearPink[=/=]InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Rin is incredibly strong and feared as a demon. He has very feminine hobbies such as cooking, cleaning, knitting, sewing and carries a stuffed animal (Kero) with him. He also does not mind being turned into a girl by the Switch card or wearing dresses as a boy. In fact he enjoys both those things and sees being a girl as a way to interact with people in ways he normally can't.
59	* SecretSecretKeeper: The monastery tries to keep the fact that they are exorcists who hunt demons a secret, but he knows already due to his TrueSight. He keeps it a secret to keep their minds at ease.
60	* {{Seers}}: After being unsealed he starts having more vivid foretelling dreams and getting more frequent visions of the future.
61	* SelectiveObliviousness: Rin has been known to force himself to forget upsetting information such as being the Son of Satan, which he learned the first time from the Return. This might also be the main reason behind his obliviousness to romantic attention.
62	* SensorCharacter: Rin has the ability to sense demons, as demonstrated in canon, as well as magic. Kero thinks it's his specialty. Later in [=IoC=] he is capable enough to sense normal humans. WordOfGod is that “Sense” is one of Rin’s major centers.
63	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: He has a thing for kind people: he had crushes on Tsukishiro and the owner of the Sugar Bell Bakery due to their kind natures and was attracted to Riku due to him being a NiceGuy.
64	* SirSwearsALot: Rin has a very dirty mouth. Kero always learns a few new swears off him and wonders how Rin even knows so many swears.
65	* {{Sleepyhead}}: Being a Cardcaptor is a stressful job, although he tries to stay up in Tsukishiro's class.
66	** He also gets very tired and sleepy after using a lot of magic, which is worryingly more common in ''Inheritance of Magic''
67	* SuperpowerLottery: Super strength, incredible immune system, magic, blue flames, Sakura cards, superior senses. On a more mundane note he can cook like a god, clean, sew, take care of others when they need it, is good with small children, and manages to do all of the above while also being strong enough to bench press a car.
68	* SupremeChef: He is an excellent cook who impresses everyone he feeds. Kero even says his cooking is comparable to magicaly created food such as what the Cook and Sweet cards make. He also pays attention to nutrition and tries to make meals healthy as well as delicious.
69	* TeenGenius: He a prodigy at magic, with sensory ability and a learning curve that impress all other human mages he meets.
70	* ThroughHisStomach: He wins a lot of people over through his cookingo.
71	* TrueSight: His mage heritage allows him to see the supernatural quite easily. Apparently he can see more than a masho would enable.
72	* WeirdnessMagnet: Between his magic, his status as a social outcast, and his tendency to get into fights he gets involved in a lot of trouble throughout the series.
73	* WiseBeyondTheirYears: While he mostly acts his age he is very serious about catching and caring for the cards, does not abuse his powers, tries to be considerate of others, and makes an effort to be understanding of his family keeping secrets until it blows up in his face.
74	* WholesomeCrossdresser: As of [=IoM=] Chapter 17 he is this, having to wear a dress for the role of Snow White in the school play. As in canon he does not mind at all.
75
76	! Keroberos/Kero
77	The Sun guardian of the Cards, created by Clow Reed. Secretly lives with Rin at the monastery where he teaches, helps, and advises about the Cards and magic in general.
78
79	* BigEater: He can eat a whole cheesecake by himself despite his small size.
80	* CantHoldHisLiquor: Gets wasted after eating liquor chocolates.
81	* TheConscience: Kero continuously asks Rin whether keeping his magic a secret from his family is good idea and encourages him to give his family a chance or to make some friends. Although he does acknowledge that Rin's family situation is different from Sakura's.
82	* {{Familiar}}: He takes offense to being called one, he's a [[InsistentTerminology Guardian Beast!]].
83	* LaserGuidedAmnesia. Sakura altered his memory with his permission before passing the cards on to Rin. This was so Rin could be tested like Sakura without the guardians knowing too much or having to betray Rin by keeping secrets. His memory is returned to him at the end of the second arc.
84	* MentorMascot: Wouldn't be ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' without it.
85	* {{Otaku}}: He plays video games when Rin doesn't take him places.
86	* ParentalSubstitute: While still irresponsible, he sometimes parents Rin when he needs guidance and emotional support. WordOfGod says that he [[DownplayedTrope considers himself to be more of a big brother though.]]
87	* PowerOfTheSun: Has Sun type magic in opposition to Yue.
88	* PlayingWithFire: The Firey is under his domain and is able to make fireball once Rin captures it.
89	* SleepModeSize: Looks like a cute stuffed animal most of the time.
90
91
92
93	!Tsukishiro Sekki
94	The current human incarnation of Yue. Was Rin's history and homeroom teacher for most of middle school. Also teaches magic.
95
96	* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Just like Yukito, she is the host of Yue.]]
97	* BadassTeacher: Tsukishiro Sekki, Junior High Teacher by day and powerful Moon Mage by night (or whenever a magical incident occurs). She is also Rin’s magic teacher.
98	* BigBadFriend: While she genuinely likes Rin and became a friend and mentor out of her own will, she is setting up [[SecretTestOfCharacter TheJudgement]] against him. Once Rin passes the Judgement she drops this aspect.
99	* BigEater: Tsukishiro Sekki, who brings a three tiered bento as her usual lunch. All for herself.
100	* BroughtDownToNormal: She loses her magic since she has to conserve magic to sustain herself and Yue due Rin not having enough magic.
101	** Briefly happens again at the start of [=IoD=] as Yue could not handle Rin's newly released demon magic until filters were set up.
102	* CompositeCharacter: She has Kaho Mizuki's mysteriousness and role of {{Mentor}} to the Cardcaptor, Tomoyo's costume-making and Yukito's role of being the Cardcaptor's first crush [[spoiler: and the vessel of Yue.]]
103	* HealingHands: Demonstrates the ability to heal Rin’s minor wounds in Chapter 17 of [=IoC=].
104	* HeadTurningBeauty: Pretty much everyone from her co-workers to her students find her absolutely gorgeous.
105	* {{Lunacy}}: A particularly powerful Moon mage.
106	* MarkOfTheSupernatural: She has purple eyes and she's a powerful Moon mage [[spoiler: along with being the vessel of Yue.]]
107	* MeaningfulName: Tsukishiro means "Moon Castle", and she is a Moon mage. [[spoiler: It was also Yukito's last name and like him she is Yue’s host.]] Her first name, meanwhile, means "Snow Princess" [[spoiler: which is comparable to Yukito's name meaning "Snow Rabbit".]]
108	* TheMentor: She helps Rin with his magic and schoolwork and lends a helping hand when he needs it.
109	* NiceGirl: She is very patient and understanding.
110	* ObliviousToLove: A co-worker took her on a date which she didn't realize as she attended for the food.
111	* OnlySaneWoman: Tsukishiro, after the events of Chapter 4, is the only one of the faculty to be logical and speak in Rin’s defense. It helps that she is also a mage and [[SecretKeeper knows Rin is the Cardcaptor]].
112	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A much needed one as she's the only teacher that Rin can get help from.
113	* SecretKeeper[=/=]SecretSecretKeeper: She know from the start that Rin's a Cardcaptor without and with his knowledge.
114	* {{Seers}}: Admits to possessing foresight, and can observe places from afar through a scrying bowl filled with water.
115	* SignificantBirthdate: [[spoiler: Tsukishiro Sekki was supposedly born on the 6th of April, the exact same day Rin released the Sakura Cards]].
116	* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler: Sort-of, with Yue. It's complicated. Sekki is really Yue, except that Sekki has her own identity and personality as well.]]
117	[[/folder]]
118
119	[[folder: Southern Cross Monastery]]
120	Where Rin lives for the first two arcs. Residents include Fujimoto Shiro, Okumura Yukio, and various monks of the True Cross Order.
121
122	!Tropes unique to the whole Monastery
123	* DramaticIrony: They believe as long they can keep Rin ignorant of the fact that they're exorcists, the seal holding back Rin's demonic heritage will hold. Unbeknownst to them, Rin already knows and the seal is still holding.
124	* InnocentBigot: They foster the belief that Rin as a non-trained human should be kept ignorant and is to be protected and accounted for. Which is unintentionally straining Yukio's relationship with Rin.
125	* UsefulNotes/JapaneseChristian: They do practice Christian beliefs in their offtime which is noted during the ChristmasEpisode when Rin notes that they celebrate Christmas as a family holiday as opposed to [[UsefulNotes/ChristmasInJapan as a romantic one as is for most of Japan.]]
126	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: They have no idea of Rin's magic or his activities as Cardcaptor and believe that Rin doesn't know that they're exorcists.
127	* PerpetualPoverty: The monastery is broke all the time due the fact they have to replace their exorcist equipment constantly, pay for Rin and Yukio's schooling, pay for Yukio's training and pay for any damages caused by Rin's fights. Money is always tight.
128	* WrongGenreSavvy: Shiro and Yukio believe the magical activity due to the Cards is demonic. They would be right as usually magic is very rare.
129
130	!Fujimoto Shiro
131	Rin and Yukio's foster father. He is a Paladin rank exorcist and a priest.
132
133	* BadassPreacher: He is the Paladin of the True Cross Order after all.
134	* BunnyEarsLawyer: He is an amazing exorcist with mastery over all major branches of skills in the order, is the highest ranking of all exorcists, who is also a reasonable authority figure and teacher to those under him. He is also very quirky, loves to tease his sons especially, is a camera fiend and amazingly embarrassing parent, and he gets along with Mephisto.
135	* CameraFiend: Has a tendency to stalk Rin and Yukio with a camera whe never possible.
136	* CoolOldGuy
137	* FantasticRacism: Seems to have had it in the past. By the time the twins are older he has [[TookALevelInKindness taken a level in kindness]] and despairs against the institutionalized racism of the True Cross Order.
138	* TheGadfly: Loves to tease his sons, such as calling Rin a shorty when Yukio become an inch than him and handcuffing his sons to each other to force them to spend time with each other.
139	* GoodParents: For all his flaws, he is a supportive and loving parent to his adoptive sons.
140	** In spite of the Parental Neglect stemming from all the secrets he does make an effort to give Rin attention and is supportive of his friendship with Sekki.
141	* TheGunslinger: Favors a shotgun as his weapon.
142	* PapaWolf: Is very protective of both of his sons, though especially Rin due to his percieved vulnerability.
143	** When learning Rin was attacked by what he believes to be a demon (actually the [[MakingASplash Watery Card]]) at the swimming pool he immediately leads a team there to exorcise it.
144	** Yukio at one point in IOC thinks about how Shiro has used the call desk as punishment for being reckless.
145	** He nearly panicked the first time Rin passed out from using Time and Sekki called him to pick Rin up.
146	** He was also very concerned when Dream kept Rin asleep.
147	** He worries about Yukio overworking himself and may regret starting his training so early.
148	** He was terrified to the point of anger when he figured out that Rin was learning magic and had been in who knows how many dangerous situations without his knowledge.
149	** Anytime he hears about anything weird happening at school or anywhere else his sons might be spending their time he prioritizes it or pushes someone to deal with it quickly.
150	* ParentalNeglect: It is not intentional on Shiro's part, but the combination of everyone at the monastery being busy and actively keeping Rin out of the loop about so much of his life has in turn resulted in Shiro himself missing a lot of critical development in Rins life and growth.
151	** He also does not often seem to notice if Rin is upset until it leads to him lashing out and it does not seem like he gives Rin much guidance or help with everyday life to the extent he does with Yukio.
152	** At one point in IOM he is forced to go to work while Rin is recovering from magical exaustion even though he wants to stay and take care of him.
153	* ParentsAsPeople: He loves his sons, but he can't be as helpful as he wants to be. He unintentionally neglects Rin due to his work and can't really help him with his bullying problem. He also does not seem able to help him with school work or his social issues.
154	** Related to poor communication kills is the way he never talks to either of his sons about their feelings or problems.
155	* PoorCommunicationKills: He knows that Rin is in some supernatural trouble and knows Rin isn't telling him anything, but he doesn't tell Rin anything or call him on his secrecy. A great deal of the family drama we see could have been avoided with a bit of honest communication.
156	* [[spoiler: PutOnABus: As of the end of ch 1 of [=IoD=] he is in a coma and will likely remain that way until after ch 23, where WordOfGod says the story really starts to diverge from aoex canon.]]
157	* [[spoiler: SparedByTheAdaptation: He is alive but in a coma.]]
158	* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler: Perfectly willing to kill a pregnant Yuri Egin.]]
159
160	!Okumura Yukio
161	Rin's younger twin brother. Youngest exorcist in history.
162
163	* AlwaysSecondBest: He really doesn't like it when his brother is better at things than him. Unless it involves Rin's cooking skills.
164	* BadassNormal: Offscreen and unknown to Rin.
165	* BadassBookworm: The same.
166	* BigBrotherWorship: He adores his brother and wants to be there for him. This is slowly changing as time goes on.
167	* BrokenAce: Is adored throughout their school for being handsome, cool and smart but has major self-esteem issues and hates his classmates' cruelty to his brother. He also has a tendency to overwork himself and neglect his brother.
168	* ButNotTooForeign: His mother is half German, making him 1/4 German.
169	* CondescendingCompassion: Yukio unwittingly treats Rin like this. He believes that Rin can't function on his own in society and Rin should step back and Yukio take care of things. He really doesn't like when this superiority comes into question such as when Rin starts getting better grades on his own or making friends of his own.
170	* DesignatedVictim: He is frequently a target of magical attacks due to sharing the same magical signature as Rin.
171	* GreenEyedMonster: He gets very jealous of Rin spending time with friends, especially of Ying Hua.
172	* TheGunslinger: Favors handguns as his primary weapons.
173	* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Zigzagged. He studies every hard in school and is their top scorer as a result. Although Rin is stronger than him despite not having any of Yukio's training. Which he's beginning to resent Rin for.
174	* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: In Chapter 14 of [=IoM=], he finally realizes that he has been distancing Rin due to his exorcist training.]]
175	* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Most of Yukio's problems are self-inflicted. Said problems include being overworked from the amount of missions he requests in order to advance faster and growing apart from Rin due to how little time they can spend together.
176	* InnocentBigot: He's beginning to look down on his brother, believing that Rin needs to be coddled and controlled of to be kept safe. Something the monastery unintentionally reinforces.
177	* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Downplayed. He sees himself as being the stronger twin, being a trainee exorcist but has very low self esteem especially when it becomes obvious that his brother is still stronger than him.
178	* InternalizedCategorism: To his father's despair, he's beginning to internalize the exorcist's institutionalized FantasticRacism towards demons. So he starting to hate himself for half-demon traits.
179	* JerkassHasAPoint: He thinks very little of Ying Hua and suspects that's she planning something. Which he's absolutely right about.
180	* NeverMyFault: Whenever Yukio laments his splintering relationship with Rin, he blames it on Rin's secretiveness and how busy Rin is. This is despite the fact their relationship splintered in the first place due to Yukio keeping his exorcist training a secret and the training's grueling hours.
181	* TeenGenius: Is the youngest exorcist in history and book smart enough to get a full scholarship into the best school in the area.
182	* TerribleArtist: Much to his frustration.
183	* WeirdnessMagnet: Due to his latent magic and having the same magical signature as brother, Yukio is subjected to many magical attacks.
184	[[/folder]]
185
186	[[folder: Southern Cross Junior High]]
187	Where Rin and Yukio go to school for the first two arcs. Often the site of magical attacks.
188
189	!Tropes specific to the school
190	* AcademyOfAdventure: A lot of Rin's adventures take place in the school.
191	* OriginalCharacter: Rin's classmates are original to the author, justified due to the cast of ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' being too young or not going to Rin and Yukio's school.
192	* WeirdnessMagnet: The school is always subject to some sort of attack by the cards. Justified as the school is built directly over a LeyLine, drawing the cards to power themselves through its magic.
193
194	!Abe Eiji
195	* AbusiveParents: His dad was so abusive that police intervention was required and he's happy that his father is no longer around.
196	* AscendedExtra: Originally to be a minor character for Rin to get exposition from but became a major character due to his growing feelings for Rin.
197	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He becomes fascinated with Rin when Rin is very friendly and polite despite his terrible reputation, leading Eiji to want to know more about Rin.
198	* CrushBlush: Happens around Rin a lot.
199	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Had an abusive father and he and his divorced mother now live with his aunt and little cousins.
200	* EveryoneHasStandards: He refuses to sell Rin's weakness to bullies even when offered money or threatened.
201	* FreudianExcuse: He always charges for his services because he's very poor at home.
202	* KnowledgeBroker: Rin often goes to him to seek out information he needs to find the Cards. He gets his information through various means: rumormongering, other students and a secret backdoor to a police database.
203	* MrExposition: Gives Rin information about their school or rumors going going around.
204	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He is very sly and will sell the information for the right prices.
205	* PromotionToParent: He has to take care of his little cousins because his mom and his aunt are too busy working.
206	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He actually refuses to take Rin's money when he is asked for advice when he sees that Rin is very scared.
207	* SecretSecretKeeper: Sees Rin fighting Storm in Chapter 18 and knows about his magic, but keeps it a secret.
208	* StraightGay: He has a crush on Rin.
209
210	! Watanabe Naoko
211	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's a bit out there.
212	** TheCuckoolanderWasRight: While she's a bit of a spacecase and kinda ditzy, she's one of the few to figure out Rin's character on her own, keep her memories of Rin using magic (because she thought he was a ghostbuster, admittedly) and figured that Rin is magic and gets away with it.
213	* HiddenDepths: She's a very talented singer, one of the best in their grade.
214	* MsExposition: She would frequently keep track of supernatural activities and would Rin inform for him to take care of.
215	* NightmareFetishist: She adores supernatural things like ghosts, demons and mages and tries to become Rin's friend to get closer to the supernatural.
216	* SecretKeeper: Initially Rin hides the fact that he's a Cardcaptor by making her believe that he's a ghostbuster. But she figures out on her own that Rin's a mage.
217
218	!Oota Sayaka
219	* HotBlooded: She's very gung-ho and doesn't back down without Hiromi holding her back.
220	* {{Jerkass}}: She's extremely rude to Rin and calls him a demon to his face.
221	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: But she only does so due to his bad reputation and is willing to tolerate him and put side her enmity for Hiromi's sake.
222	* {{Tsundere}}: She is very sweet to Hiromi but has a mean streak.
223
224	!Minami Hiromi
225	* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She loves the stuffed animal that Sayaka won for her.
226	* NiceGirl: She tries to be nice to Rin and implores that Sayaka not pick fights with him.
227
228	!Kaida
229
230	!Chikafuji Manabu
231	* AsianAndNerdy
232	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Wishes he had more courage and a way to defend himself. Cue [[DemonicPossession being possessed]] by the Armour Card and beating the hell out of the bullies.
233	* CuteBookworm: He enjoys reading all sorts of different topics.
234	* DemonicPossession: Gets possessed by the Armour Card in Chapter 6
235	* {{Protectorate}}: Rin protects him from his bullies.
236	* ShrinkingViolet: Is extremely shy at first, being too timid to look people in the eye.
237	* VictimOfTheWeek: Falls victim to the Armor card.
238
239	!Ruan Ying Hua
240	A powerful mage there to help transform the Cards.
241
242	* BeneathSuspicion: No one suspects Ying Hua of anything after a background check. No one thinks the sweet, kind foreign exchange student is capable of anything.
243	* CruelToBeKind: She puts Rin through the ringer in her trials but she does it in Rin's best interests. She wants Rin to change the Sakura cards into Rin cards in a controlled environment and train in him in his magic in preparation for him to fight demons and exorcists.
244	* {{Expy}}: of Eriol Hiiragizawa.
245	* HistoryRepeats: She is to Rin what Eriol was to Sakura.
246	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Despite her reluctance, she puts Rin through trials to make sure that he turns the Sakura Cards into Rin Cards to save Rin's life and preserve the cards.
247	* NiceGirl: Willingly befriends Rin despite other students telling her of his bad reputation and is genuine about her friendship with him.
248	* NewTransferStudent: She's an exchange student from Hong Kong.
249	* MeaningfulName: Her name is Mandarin for Sakura.
250	* SheepInSheepsClothing: When she starts getting close to Rin, Shiro has her background researched in fear that she was a plant from the Vatican Church. To his relief [[DramaticIrony she is just an ordinary girl.]]
251	* SilkHidingSteel: Despite her sweetness, she keeps Ruby Moon on a tight leash to make sure the latter will not force things to make Yukio give up his magic.
252	* VerbalTic: "Hoe?"
253	[[/folder]]
254
255	[[folder: Magical Beings]]
256	Beings made of magic. Includes the Cards and the guardians.
257
258	!The Sakura Cards/The Rin Cards
259	A deck of magical cards created by Clow Reed. Each card is actually a spirit with its own power as described by its name. They grew so strong that Clow Reed created the Clow Book to keep the cards in. They were later mastered and expanded by Clow Reed's successor [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Sakura Kinomoto]]. They were originally 53 cards, [[AdaptationExpansion only to be expanded to 62 cards when Sakura made her own cards.]] [[HistoryRepeats Rin accidentally lets the cards loose]] leading to the series GottaCatchEmAll story. He later has to transform them into Rin Cards so they can be kept alive via her magical energy.
260
261	* AdaptationExpansion: The story uses the anime's AdaptationExpansion number of 53 only to boost it to 62 with the addition of Sakura's creations. [[spoiler: The number later increases to 63 when Rin creates the Balance card.]]
262	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Cook is a genuinely sweet Card who just wants to create food and let others enjoy it. However, when Rin is accidentally harmed by careless exorcists, she makes full use of her ability to control kitchen implements to go after them. [[LethalHarmlessPowers This includes knives and a deep fryer.]]
263	* CameraFiend: Record, which is no surprise considering Sakura modeled it after Tomoyo.
264	* CardsOfPower: The Sakura Cards, of course.
265	* DemonicPossession: Sword pulls this off on Yukio in Chapter 7. Rin [[BerserkButton is not happy with it]].
266	* DreamingOfThingsToCome: [[spoiler: While under the influence of Dream in Chapter 27, Rin sees a number of events that have not yet occurred, including the discovery of the Illuminati’s artificial Gehenna Gate by the Angelic Legion, having discussion with his future love and what appears to be the Judgement.]]
267	* ElementalPowers: The four high elemental cards and several of the higher level cards under them.
268	** ShockAndAwe: The Thunder
269	** AnIcePerson: The Freeze is an ice koi and The Snow is easily mistaken for a yuki onna.
270	** MakingASplash: The Watery, The Wave, and The Rain.
271	** DishingOutDirt: The Earthy and The Sand.
272	** BlowYouAway: The Windy and The Storm.
273	** PlayingWithFire: The Firey
274	** CastingAShadow: The Shadow
275	** TimeMaster: The Time and The Return.
276	** PoisonousPerson: The Mist
277	** NonElemental: Most of the lower tier cards.
278	** GreenThumb: The Wood
279	* ElementalRockPaperScissors: The Cards have a complicated version that combines the Eastern and Western versions. The four high elemental cards represent the classical western elements with their advantage over each other also being effected by the presence of their guardian. The Eastern elemental system alows 'lesser' cards representing elements the high elementals are weak against to overpower them such as when Wood was able to capture Earthy.
280	* EmbarrassingButEmpoweringOutfit: The Armour grants whoever is wearing it enhanced protection and strength, being more portable than the [[DeflectorShield Shield Card’s effect]]. Unfortunately, it takes the form of ancient Samurai armour and looks utterly ridiculous.
281	* HealingHands: The Heal Card,
282	* HealingMagicIsTheHardest: however the Heal Card has limitations. The first being that it cannot heal something that cannot be healed by normal methods, like cancer, and it is limited by the knowledge of its wielder or their surroundings.
283	* HistoryRepeats: Rin ends up scattering the Cards by accidentally activating Windy, the same as Sakura, prior to Kero waking up, Kero muses that [[LampshadeHanging it is just like the time he first met Sakura]].
284	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Any Card with more mundane abilities can still make serious trouble when they get creative. So far we have seen:
285	** Cook chase a bunch of exorcists with kitchen impliments.
286	** Jump attack with animated toys.
287	** Float use garbage against Rin.
288	* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: Light hid inside Rin just as it hid inside Sakura. [[spoiler: It turns out Hope was hiding inside him as well, waiting for the [[SecretTestOfCharacter Judgement]].]]
289	* KillAndReplace: [[spoiler: Attempted by Mirror in Chapter 21]]
290	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The purpose of the Memory Card is wipe memories of {{Muggle}}s not in the know and to replace memories with something more explainable. Which Rin does take advantage of.
291	* MundaneUtility: Sakura continued Clow Reed’s legacy in creating Cards for the most mundane of reasons. The Artist Card creates artistic masterpieces, while the Cook Card is a SupremeChef.
292	** In Chapter 2 Rin uses [[ShrinkRay Little]] to shrink [[BigEater Kero]] so he can better enjoy a tiny piece of cake.
293	** In Chapter 14 Rin uses [[MasterOfIllusion Illusion]] to help tell and show stories to Natsuko.
294	* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Sakura designed the chest the cards were held in to go to whomever would be a good master to the cards and would greatly benefit from their help. This resulted in the traveling to Rin's dimension and the chest appearing empty to whomever else that opened it.
295	** Sekki being able to do so is an early clue that [[spoiler: she is Yue.]]
296	* OriginalCharacter: There are new cards made by Sakura, they are the Memory, the Heal, the Record, the Repair, the Mask, the Armour, the Switch, the Artist and the Cook. [[spoiler: Later, Rin creates the Balance.]]
297	* OutsideContextProblem: The Sakura Cards to the exorcists – being used to dealing solely with demons, they assume that the Cards are also demons, however they do not have the abilities or equipment to be able to deal with the rogue Cards. Encounters between the two tend to end poorly for the exorcists.
298	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Sakura cards are pink and when they are turned into Rin cards they become blue.
299	* ThePrankster: Many of the Cards are mischievous when loose. Kero particularly mentions Mask and Rain.
300	* SingleMindedTwins: The Twin card.
301	* StalkerWithoutACrush: Record (being based on [[StalkerWithACrush Tomoyo]]) turns out to be this to aspiring manga-ka [[MrFanservice Hanamura Hibiki]]. It is revealed she thought he was incredibly talented, and was trying to show him how amazing she thought it was. She is horrified when she discovers that it was actually stressing him out.
302	* WingedHumanoid: Heal. It is the reason why Natsuko believes she is an angel.
303	** Fly can turn Rin into this.
304
305	! Yue
306	The Moon guardian of the Cards, created by Clow Reed.
307
308	* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: While Yue presents as male, he admits that gender identity doesn't matter to him and doesn't care whether he's seen as a man or a woman.
309	* CharacterDevelopment: Yue is less harsh and cold than he was when Sakura first met him during her own Judgement.
310	* HistoryRepeats: His first real visit to the monastery as himself plays out almost exactly like his first visit to Sakura at her house.
311	* LaserGuidedAmnesia. Same as Kero his memory was altered with his permission as part of the process if passing the cards to Rin. He gets his memories back once the transfer is complete.
312	* {{Lunacy}}: Has Moon type magic in opposition to Kero.
313	* SuperGenderBender: While Yue is male, his vessel is a woman. [[spoiler: Especially so in ''Inheritance of Magic'', as Sekki can no longer use magic to conserve energy.]]
314	* TheNeedless: He doesn't need to eat since he's sustained by magic nor does he enjoy eating. But Rin manages to get him to snack along with him.
315	* SugarAndIcePersonality: While he's still a bit cold, he is more open and friendly to Rin than he was to Sakura at first and is willing to spend time with Rin when asked.
316	* TookALevelInKindness: Thanks to Sakura, he's much less cold to Rin and is willing to socialize with him when prompted.
317

323	* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Its implied that she's a hostess, but is otherwise a loving sister.
324	* LifeDrinker: She wants to eat Yukio's magic.
