Fye's Background [known as: Fye D. Flowright/ Fay D. Flourite]

When Fay's past is finally revealed, as his real name is Yuuy. It is shown that "Yuuy" was born in Valeria Country, with a twin named Fay. Though the birth of the second prince's son was highly anticipated, the birth of twins was considered to be a bad omen. Shortly after their birth, the second prince died, and their mother committed suicide out of guilt for giving birth to them. In addition, the country suffered many misfortunes, and the twins, when combined, bore powerful magic that rivaled that of the current king.

The king decided that making them unhappy was the only way to break the "curse", and since both refused to kill each other, they were locked up separately in a place where magic is ineffective and time does not flow: a tower residing in a deep valley; Fay was imprisoned atop the tower, and Yuuy was confined at the base of the tower. Both were condemned to stay there "until the world's destruction."

Despite their unhappiness, the number of bodies dumped into the base of the tower began to grow. Yuuy tried endlessly to climb up towards Fay, so they could escape, but he did not succeed. Eventually, the king became insane, and he executed every person in the country, except for Yuuy and Fay. He then jumped into the valley himself and committing suicide in front of a horrified Yuuy, reminding him that their birth was the reason for the country's misfortune, and that they would now "pay for that sin" by being the only people alive in Valeria.

Eventually, Fey Wang Reed appeared from another world, and offered to free one of them. Fay chose to save Yuuy, resulting in Fay being thrown from the tower to his death. Fei Wang then tampered with Yuuy's memory to make him think that Yuuy had chosen to save himself at the cost of his brother's life, allowing Fei Wang to use Yuuy's guilt in order to turn him into his servant. In order to bring his twin back to life, Yuuy allowed Fei Wang to bestow two curses upon him, one of which was removed from Yuuy's memory. Fei Wang then told Yuuy that someone would free him from the valley, and that he would have to go on a journey, protecting "a princess" (Sakura), and killing any obstacles along the way. Fei Wang then tells Yuuy that when he finds a magical feather, he should put it into Fay's body to prevent it from rotting, and that he should begin his journey when he finds a second feather, which he should give to Sakura.

Later, King Ashura came to Valeria from another world in order to retrieve Yuuy and took him to Celes. When Ashura asked what Yuuy's name was, Yuuy said it was "Fay". Ashura later gave Fay the last name "Flouright", the name of a precious talisman mineral, and he eventually earned the title 'D', given to the highest magician in Celes. And thus, Yuuy became the protagonist "Fay D. Flowright". He found his two feathers while helping villagers during an avalanche, and decided to use one to create a person in his mother's image; Chii.

Ashura eventually tutored Fay in magic and comforted him whenever he felt unable to overcome his dark past. When Fay discovered that he could only learn "magic that kills people", Ashura told him that his smile held the ability to heal others. In exchange for everything that he had done for him, Ashura asked Fay to promise that he would eliminate anyone who threatened Celes.

Due to Fay's first curse, Ashura traced a magical seal on Fay's body in the form of a Phoenix tattoo, which suppressed his powers from growing any further, and though Fay protested, Ashura told him that Fay's first curse would break after it was fulfilled once, and he wanted to be the one that Fay would kill. Ashura then erased what he had told him from Fay's memory.

Several years later, a mysterious and deadly monster began to kill Celes's innocent civilians. Fay swore to defeat the beast, but found out that Ashura was the monster. Fay, at first, blamed himself for what happened to Ashura, thinking that "the curse of the twins" was what had caused Ashura to kill, but Ashura told him that his magic grows when he kills, and that he always knew that he would become a murderer, even though he was not sure why. Fay realized that Ashura had brought him under his care for the sole purpose of killing him when he reached this state. Unable to bring himself to kill Ashura, Fay cast a spell on him, putting him into a deep sleep. However, no magic spell was permanent, so the king would eventually awaken. In order to avoid having to face Ashura when he woke, Fay used his magic to teleport himself to the Dimensional Witch, where he began his journey.
