JAPANESE PEONY (Japanese: botan)

Syaoran's profile in the Card Captor Sakura manga lists that his favorite flower is the peony. Throughout Tsubasa, there have been many instances where the peony is again associated with him.

Peonies carry the meaning of bashfulness, ambition and determination (thereby fitting dear Syaoran's personality to the letter). In Japanese culture, they also represent happiness, prosperity, love and affection.

LILY OF THE VALLEY (Japanese: suzuran)

Lilies of the valley traditionally represent purity, return to happiness.

The motif of the lily is first seen in Suzuran, the leader of the female clan of Sharano has the lily of the valley as her motif. The performing circus also has the lily of the valley as its identifying logo.

DREAMSEER

Creating characters who possess the ability to cross over into other people's dreams is not a new concept for CLAMP. In X, there are at least four characters who are capable of this feat. In Tsubasa, Princess Tomoyo communicates with the Tomoyo of Piffle World through a dream in order to inform her that there will be people who will be after the feather.

DOPPELGÄNGER

A doppelgänger is the ghostly double of a living person, adapted from German Doppelgänger (look-alike). The term has, in the vernacular, come to refer to any double of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called evil twin.

THE RIGHT EYE

Syaoran is blind on his right eye. The Ashura statue bleeds from its right eye.
