  Since Richard likes Yue so much, we let him do this one.....A little about Yue, the great winged servant of Clow Reed.
Birthday: Secret
Favorite food: doesn't eat anything
Favorite thing: Sleep
Favourite color: Silver
Least favorite thing: Trouble
 A bit on the name: 'Yue' is the chinese pronunciation of the kanji for moon.
 Such a mysterious and cool character Yue is! Aside from those things, Yue is attributed to the darkness and eastern school of magic. His symbol is the moon and he represents the ying, or feminine side of the whole. Yue is the true form of Yukito. That sort of explains why he's always around Sakura in the beginning, knowing all and seeing all as if he was some kind of overseer. Yep! He has a very significant part to all this after all! Of interest, Yukito looks a great deal like Fujitaka. This Yue things explains a lot; since both Fujitaka and he are cretions, so to speak, of Clow Reed. That,of course, and CLAMP's profound knowledge on how to make a man look good. ^_^ Drool.....
Yue and Cerberus are partners in the guardianship of the Clow Cards, though Cerberus was the guardian beast and therefore was assigned the book cover. Yue was especially close to Clow Reed, and was deeply hurt when he realised that he had been lied to in the end. I think there was more in his heart than just devotion. What's interesting about that is that Yue is neither male nor female, though looks like a male and is attributed to the ying. So perhaps that's why he loved Clow Reed so much and has such an attraction to Touya.
 Yue took on the duty of testing Sakura's power at the end of the second series and finding her to be the true guardian of the Clow Cards. Being he had such a bond with Clow Reed, he especially was not happy to see Sakura with his cards, therefore tested her in every way possible that would hurt her. However, she proved herself worthy once again, defeating even what Li could not. I think his final relent was after Sakura came back from visiting Clow Reed, and Eriol appeared. He didn't want to let the memory go of how he thought it should be. However, when Eriol proved himself to be Clow Reed, Yue felt betrayed and finally devoted himself entirely to his new mistress. To the end, I doubt he was fully comforted in his decision.
What do we think of Yue?
 Richard: Yue rocks rocks rocks!!!!!!! He is just so cool. Elegant, dark, mysterious, full of emotional baggage and attitude that makes him all the more exciting than so many other of the characters.
Viscay: I like Yue too. As a guardian I think I like Cerberus more because he's more fun, but I appreciate Yue's sensitivity and how he deal with his feelings for Touya. What a sweet guy!
Riki: I like Yue when he's fighting or saying snappy lines, and I like how he hesitates so to accept Sakura as his master. That's important in character depth. I didn't think he was that beautiful when I first saw him but the more I see him the more I see what his appeal is. I just don't like his eyes. Painted. Nope nope nope.
