Syaoran Li had it all.
He's handsome.
Damn, he's so good-looking, some people thought he was gay. (Well you couldn't blame them. Syaoran actually had suitors! Male. Suitors.)
But the wonderful thing about that is, simply put, he wasn't.
He's athletic.
He's into soccer and a bit of basketball, but there's almost no one that could deny: Martial Arts was his passion. He was trained since he could hold his head up, and he constantly trains in his free time. (Which was becoming less and less now, considering the busy schedule and all…) Ah. Reasons why his body is gorgeous. No need to drool, just stating the facts.
He's extremely charming. And by extremely, I mean… Extremely. Period.
He's rich.
He's the heir to the Li clan (obviously), and he was already Executive Vice President for Marketing in a company that's eventually going to be his. And he's just 20 years old!
He knows how to have fun.
He believes that all work is not right, and neither is all play. He knows how to balance it. His idea of "fun" is much like a little boy's view of it: Hanging out with friends, playing sports, eating, relaxing. You know, nice, innocent fun. He knows you could have fun even if there are no excessive alcohol, drugs and prostitutes involved.
Most importantly, he has morals.
He knew right from wrong, and he did whatever in his power to make sure he did what was right. He knew how to respect superiors, peers and employees alike, and everybody was his friend. Well, of course, jealous employees and opportunistic "friends" aside. He's a bit on the tough side, but he knows when to be sensitive, and when to be a gentleman. Although he tends to be aggressive most of the time, that's just because he's a little competitive. If you were the next leader of a clan so important to the people, you're going to have to be trained to fight for what you thinks is right. And that's exactly what his parents did. Nothing too wrong with that.
See? Ideal guy.

Sakura Kinomoto did it all.
She's beautiful.
She was usually the cause of stupid fights in the school. Though she repeatedly asked them nicely to stop it, her barbaric schoolmates just can't stop. She never understood why: She never entertained any attempts to court her.
She's hyperactive.
Being a cheerleader in her high school days, it was just fitting. She's really fit and lively. She also loves soccer and swimming, and also a bit of volleyball. She liked to try out new sports, and she excelled in almost all of them. But most of all, she was a legendary runner. If Michael Jordan owned the court, she owned the track. Not even older guys could run faster than her. So much for guys chasing after girls.
She's extremely cheerful.
Her smile could brighten up anyone's day, her laughter is contagious. It just is.
She's successful.
She started out small, but she started young. She and her brother often took part time jobs to make ends meet. They started with a small cozy café (since they both know how to cook), and now, the siblings' business is Asia's Starbucks. With her brother and her as CEO's, they led the way for the business to enlarge and expand. Aside from that, the Kinomoto brother-sister tandem now owns a group of companies that revolves mainly around hotels and resorts. As if that wasn't enough, Sakura has just started her own line of designer clothes while Touya (her brother) plans to enter the advertising business. All under the Kinomoto name. By the way, Sakura's just 19.
She's always cheerful.
She knows that a smile is always the first step to success or to whatever you may want to achieve.
And of course, she's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
She's really friendly, and rarely snaps at people (besides Touya, but that's accepted. They're siblings, after all.). She maintains morals that are now diminishing from the world, and she possesses godly characteristics that girls nowadays tend to neglect. She's always down to earth, and she never forgets where she came from. She has very strong principles, and she's not afraid to show them and stand up for what is right. She's a kind, gentle girl who always thinks of others. However, the gentleness sometimes disappears when the sexism toward the males is evident. She is a feminist, and by feminist I mean, she wants to lift the world's views on women so that both sexes could be equal. She hates being treated soft and weak just because she's a girl, and she could go all out trying to prove otherwise.
See? Ideal girl.

So... everything seems pretty normal...
Of course. You have heard of the calm before the storm, right? In their case, it was a 19-year calm period.
