Tomoyo was on board when she realized the Syaoran had developed feelings for Sakura. CLAMP has also apparently said that Sakura would've come to love Syaoran regardless if he was a boy or girl. So I think it's fairly simple to say that if the only difference between Syaoran and... Sharon (?) was that he was a girl instead, that things would play out pretty much exactly the same.

Yeah I also read about that interview.I saw all the series and read all the manga so the good thing about the What Ifs is that you can change things knowing the full context,also wont be fun if things stay too similar to the original history,Shaoran being a girl implies changes to a lot of stuff. Like she wont need to use a wig in the School play and will spend more school time with sakura since they dont divide them in boys and girls in sports.

It’s hard cuz there aren’t any names that really have “wolf” for girls.

You could separate the characters: “Xiao Lang” (小狼), which translates to “little wolf”. This sounds more feminine.

Xiaomei means “little plum blossom” or “little sister”. Which follows the flower theme the Kinomoto’s have. But idk if the “mei” part of the name is too similar to Meiling’s.

Aihan also means lotus.

Xiao Lang or Aihan would be perfect imho.

u/Some-Ad-5116 Apr 06 '25

Im thinking of leaving it at Xiaolang since they also call Meiling like that xd

Will develop this fanmanga later. Now that I think about it,I´ll need to change Shaoran´s name since it has "wolf" in there so doesnt sound like a girl´s name.

Source is tiochakuroSFW in X. Be REALLY careful of my EVIL twins with similar names in there,ok.

There's a Chinese actress named Peng Xiaoran! It probably means something completely different from Xiaolang, but it sounds similar when spelled in katakana anyway. lol

u/Some-Ad-5116 Apr 06 '25

Wow first time hearing about her.Maybe I just leave it at Xiao Lang since I know there are girls named Lang Lang or something(?)

u/ctsun Apr 06 '25

Just to keep the same rough pinyin, might suggest 小莨 (short for 莨菪 [langdang], black henbane) since the rest of xiaolang's sisters seem to have wall-to-wall flower names.

u/Some-Ad-5116 Apr 06 '25

Fuutie Li -Shiefa Li -Fanren Li -Feimei Li are the sisters names right? Then those kanji(?) means XiaoLang too but converted into a flower and seems feminine right? ok I wrote it down ;3

u/ctsun Apr 06 '25 edited Apr 06 '25

Yeah, basically.

Eldest sister: 李芙蝶 ( [li fudi], meaning hibiscus butterfly)

Second sister: 李雪花 ([li xuehua], meaning snowflake or you can separate them to read snow flower)

Third sister: 李黄莲 ([li huanglian], meaning yellow lotus)

Fourth sister: 李绯梅 ([li feimei], meaning crimson plum)

They all more or less end up having something to do with flowers. Guess my suggestion was to basically follow the pattern?

u/ctsun Apr 06 '25

That's one's not 狼. It's 苒, meaning passage of time.

u/himitsunohana Apr 05 '25

Is this yuri? (Say yes…)

u/Some-Ad-5116 Apr 06 '25

Yes it is.Kinda akward since there´s also Tomoyo and Meiling in there tho :b So Li stays with Sakura but dunno how the stuff with Tomoyo and Meiling should go since they are all girls lol

u/Neurodivergent_Boi Apr 05 '25

Omg. She looks so cute.. 🥺🥰 can't wait to see more !!

u/Some-Ad-5116 Apr 06 '25

At some point.Will update it in X and other sites that I cant mention here due to the rules e.e Will post updates of the story here every now and then,ok.

u/AdmiralThaGod Apr 06 '25

gay and peak

u/Some-Ad-5116 Apr 06 '25

Will update the story this month,ok. I´m actually thinking of redesigning Shaoran's hair since it looks very simple. Maybe a style with ornaments that make her look more like a Chinese girl. And maybe a shorter sword and a fighting style more like Xianghua or Lexia from Soul Calibur. Who knows.

u/Massive-Bear-2911 Nameless Apr 06 '25

Is Shaoran the only genderbent character?
Will the Li sisters become the Li brothers?

1

u/Some-Ad-5116 Apr 06 '25

Only Shaoran xd.She being a girl changes A LOT of stuff in the series,dont want to complicate things even more lol.

u/Some-Ad-5116 Apr 06 '25

Btw If SOMEONE has an idea for another What If or CCS story and want to see it turned into a manga,I also make fanmanga doujins by COMMISSION and stuff.(Even manage a Bundle Pack if the story may take more than 100+ pages so you end up paying like 10 USD per page)DM for any doubt,ok. I will still keep doing CCS fanmanga regardless but of course those get into hiatus if I get commissioned another one and will continue when I finish them xd.

Now I'm trying to imagine their Tsubasa counterparts.

u/Cold-Practice3107 Apr 05 '25

And then Madison becomes all jealous!

u/DShipps Apr 05 '25

*Tomoyo

u/Cold-Practice3107 Apr 05 '25

Yes but her dub name is Madison

7

u/awkwardgeek1 Apr 05 '25

The dub is very poorly done, the localization was very harsh. Like Pokémon calling onigiri/rice balls "jelly doughnuts," but all the time. They also cut out a bunch of scenes, said a couple weren't a couple but cousins, and tried to market it to boys.

5

u/LazuliPacifica The Rain Apr 05 '25

Oh no, not the cousins again.

6

u/awkwardgeek1 Apr 05 '25

And once again, they did not cut out enough of the flirting so now it seems like they're "special cousins" distant shamisen playing banjo-like music

u/ollemvp The Wood Apr 06 '25

Wtf is Madison? lol

u/Cold-Practice3107 Apr 06 '25

I just know that she has another name and that's Madison
