PERSONALITY 
In canon, Clow is something of an enigma - he only appears in a handful of flashbacks, and, once, speaking directly to Sakura. He's a very cheerful sort, always miling, although there's always sort of the sense that he's smiling /at/ you, rather than /with/ you. He has absolutely no qualms about manipulating people for what he thinks of as their own good, and seems to even enjoy it (for example, planning out the events that unfold in the series itself, particularly the Sakura Card arc, where his partial reincarnation affects events directly; and a one point it becomes clear that he's altered the memories of his Guardians of the time surrounding his death). At one point, Keroberos accuses him of having a 'twisted personality', which is generally taken in fandom to mean that he's totally nuts. I tend to view Clow as being a little bit like a little kid on the inside - he's one of the most powerful mages in the world, which means he can do pretty much whatever the hell he wants to, and so he /does/. This can make him seem on the surface like he's airheaded and has zero attention span, as he tends to jump from one thing to another rapidly - however, if something really catches his attention, he can be incredibly thorough, and underneath the smile, he's an incredibly intelligent man with a passion for scheming. He's not actually outright evil or malicious, but he does have a very strange sense of humor, and a tendancy to pull pranks which can seem a bit unfunny to those who doesn't share his outlook. He finds people in particular interesting - the more unpredictable, the better.
HISTORY 
Clow is half English, half Chinese - his mother was a sorceress of the Li family, and his father was a British mage. He himself was an immensely powerful magician (the most powerful in his world, before Sakura comes into her power) and combined the traditions of each side of his family to create his own tradition of magic, which ultimately led to the creation of the Clow Cards - a deck of oversized cards, each one holding an anthropomorphic semi-sentient magical being which is essentially the personification of the spell written on the card. He also created two fully-sentient magical creatures, Keroberos and Yue, both as guardians of the cards, and as companions for himself. At some point before his death, he purchases and moves into a large mansion in Tomoeda Japan. At his death, Clow is several hundred years old - it is strongly implied he chose his death because he was tired of life, as he is a strong enough mage to ensure virtual immortality for himself. This version is taken from after he moved to Tomoeda, but before he started planning for his death and the future of his legacy - sometime in the early 1900s.

For [info]cityofdesai. Clow belongs to CLAMP, this is all just for fun.
