I was reminiscing over Cardcaptor Sakura and how it's my favorite series of all time, and I realized I had never typed the characters before! So I decided to do all the significant characters in the series.
Sakura Kinomoto: ESFJ 2w3
-I think Sakura is a great example of
"the people's ENFP". Many MBTI beginners probably would type her as a stereotypical ENFP. She comes off as spacy and ditzy, but this isn't really a characteristic specific to ENFPs. Sakura is very polite, sweet, and courteous. She's so charming she always wins people over. She lacks the manic-mindedness of an ENFP, spewing ideas without much filter. What's most important to Sakura is preserving and strengthening the relationships that are affirming to her. I think 2 makes sense over 6 because she is definitely a positive outlook type - she is super relationship-focused as well. And the 3 wing gives her a sense of magnetism as opposed to a 1 wing, since she is not really self-disciplined at all.
Tomoyo Daidouji: INFP 9w1
-The peaceful and harmoniousness of a 9 with her 1 wing giving her a bit more aristocratic presence. Plus she's so altruistic that she selflessly allows Sakura to fall in love with Syaoran without a hint of jealousy. But I would say she is an INFP because she is often wrapped up in her own fantasies and can be fairly whimsical in pursuing them.
Syaoran Li: ISTJ 1w9
-I think this one is pretty clear, especially early on. The depth that gets added to his character later on blurs the lines a bit, but that's good because people often pigeonhole this type as robotic and unemotional. Syaoran is serious, honors tradition, and dedicated to carrying on the legacy of his family. He is protective of those he cares about, and (although he is pretty transparent) he saves his most vulnerable feelings to disclose to those he trusts the most.
Meilin Li: ESFP 7w8
-I think she and Kero are actually pretty similar. The main difference is that she is more argumentative and aggressive. I considered ESTP for her as well, but I think she's more driven by value-based judgments. She's also lively and impulsive.
Kero (Cerberus): ESFP 7w6
-Also lively and impulsive, but with a slightly more cautious streak. And he loves to get consumed in whatever is entertaining him at the time. I think this type is pretty clear as well.
Yue: INFJ 6w5
-INCREDIBLY loyal to Clow Reed and Sakura once she fights to earn his trust as well. He rarely lets others in, but for those he does he is fiercely protective of them. Keeps to himself most of the time but has a kind heart deep down. Has a certain clear-sightedness the other characters lack.
Touya Kinomoto: ISTP 9w8
-Actually one of the harder characters to type for me MBTI-wise. I was stuck between ISTP and ISFJ. He is secretly very caring and protective of Sakura and Yukito, but being responsible and a good provider doesn't necessarily mean he has to be an xSFJ. I think this could be a case like Syaoran where his character brings light to the emotional depth of introverted thinkers. Introversion is pretty clear, and I think STP makes sense for him as his natural state of being is pretty carefree and blunt. He is also athletic and sees things pretty directly without overcomplicating things. 9w8 is pretty solid since he is a peacemaker but will not allow himself to be steamrolled.
Yukito Tsukishiro: ISFJ 9w1
-First of all, him and Touya are the cutest boy/boy couple in anime history to me. What is it about magical girl series (CCS, Sailor Moon, Madoka Magica, etc) that allows them to represent gay love so well? Anyways, I think Yukito's type is pretty obvious. He is harmonious, serene, polite, and courteous. He is so committed to keeping the peace that he can sometimes neglect his own needs.
Eriol Hiiragizawa: INTJ 5w4
-Absolutely a pure knowledge gatherer. Wants to deepen his understanding and connection to Clow Reed as he is his reincarnated form. I think a 4 wing is what creates an energy that sets him apart from others, and he feels this separation as well. He is calculated and compartmentalizes his emotions to accomplish what is necessary in a very Machiavellian manner.
I think I've lost my touch with instinctual variants because they're so much harder for me to type, but it is what it is
