 Tomoya's and Nagisa's characters were written in a style to exemplify a "growth to adulthood" by the end of the story.Fuko's and Kyou's stories have their sisters playing an integral part, and Tomoyo's story is influenced by her entire family.A minor motif of Irish words continues with the opening theme of the game, "Mag Mell", which means roughly "plain of joy" and is connected with Irish mythology.
