Leiyun Li

Li Leiyun is the cousin of Li, Syaoran. He first appears on Chapter 52: On the Night the Lone Wolf Calls. He is seven years older than Syaoran. Leiyun was the original Chosen One candidate until he was thought to be dead. His name means thundercloud.

Leiyun is from the infamous Li Clan of Hong Kong, a highly traditional clan that settled in Hong Kong cenuries ago and a huge power in both the non-magical world and the magical world. Syaoran first talks about him in Chapter 27: Galloping Through Thundercloud when Sakura asks about him. Leiyun was like a brother to Syaoran since he took care of Syaoran after his father died. Leiyun was thought to be dead by the whole Li Clan while on a mission until he appeared in Chapter 52.

APPEARANCE
Leiyun has long, silver hair and ice blue eyes. He is said to resemble Li Ryuurun.

PERSONALITY
Before Leiyun disappeared, he is, as described by Syaoran, bright and sunny all the time, always with a smile. Yet, when he was angry, he can be your worst enemy. He was optimistic, talented, kind-hearted, and admired by everyone. However, when he returned years later, he seemed to change. He is more cold-blooded and distant, shown in Chapter 61: Fantasia in Memoriam when he tries to use The Memory card on Syaoran to force him to forget Sakura. Leiyun is very cold when he returns to the Li Clan. He states that the Li Clan didn't come to save him when he went missing on his mission. He is difficult to read at times.

ABILITIES
Leiyun is an expert swordsman, said to be the best in the Li Clan aside from the Great Elder. He also has magical abilities, though he hasn't used it yet.
