Sakuya

咲夜

She/Her

Sommalier in Training/ Currently an Apprentice in Culinary School/ Occasionally helps and shadows her mentors as waitstaff at various restaurants and events as part of that. She likes when she gets to cater for a few celebrity events. Meeting celebrities aside, she just genuinely enjoys helping people discover new flavors they can enjoy.

Dresses in formal wear or uniforms for work. But off-work, her sense of fashion is minimal. She likes being extra comfy in her downtime. Loves to unwind over drinks. And she has so much fun visiting not just drink establishments, but fields, wineries and vineyards, to learn about how things are made. While it's certainly not her specialty, she's also a fan of coffee.

[ More Personality ]

Sakuya is a work hard and play hard kind of gal whose temperament between when you catch her at work and off the clock varies drastically. On the clock? She is passionate, focused, and determined to put on a good face so she can give her teammates and her customers her best service. She spiritedly calls out, "Yes, sir/ ma'am/ boss/ chef!" according to her role. And she dresses rather neatly. She doesn't seem to have much time or interest in flirting unless she's showing off a particular dish or drink and senses it'll earn her a better tip maybe. She'd actually rather NOT get flirted with in general when she's on the job.

But off the clock? Sakuya is far more laid back, languid, and sociable. She enjoys drooping over tables, people, and wherever seems comfy. And considering she spends a lot of time serving others at work? It's wild that she apparently still has all the patience to really listen to people and try to comfort them in her free time. Her littermates tease that she ought to become a nun or something, which Sakuya snorts at the thought of. She's happiest being out among people and getting to know others casually.

Sakuya likes taking people home with her some nights. Will very much try to pick up buns at the bar for one nighters. But as a personal rule, she doesn't sleep with anyone out of pity or take advantage of them when they're sad and vulnerable... or too drunk to be reasonable. Oddly, she seems to hone in on those types or even attract them. So, more often than not, she ends up bringing such messy people back to her place to simply take care of them or helping them get home safely. Sakuya is super fine with simply spending some nights cuddling if whoever she ran into had a bad day.

As far as her own well-being? Apart from drinking and practicing her cooking (for her career, of course), Sakuya likes yoga, meditation, most kinds of card games, giving herself mani-pedis, watching game shows, and playing with make-up. She follows a lot of make-up influencers and is part of various recipe sharing communities, even if she doesn't have much of an online presence herself. Because despite her enthusiasm for drinks, this culinary student isn't quite there yet as far as having the confidence she needs in her own cooking. Rest assured, she's working on it! Does like making stuff to share with her neighbors and calls up her friends to come grab free food since she sometimes makes extra.

[ Side Facts ]

- Aquilla and her are internet strangers in a certain cooking community, and they swap recipes sometimes.

- Sakuya is a poor swimmer and a bit fearful of being in deep water. She will lounge or wade in the shallows.

- Sakuya refuses to date selfish lovers. Both in an emotional and physical sense.

- Sakuya enjoys a lot of open conversation, to the point that overly meek personalities are something of a turn off for her. So while she may befriend quieter buns, she very much tends to friendzone them fast. Also, it's not a hard rule, but her usual 'types' seem to be stressed officials/office workers, pretty itty-bitty-titties, and people who can really hold their liquor.
