Nakamura Sakura

Hello! I am Sake's younger and oh so adorable sister, Sakura Renée! I currently reside in small town known as Pet Society. I've lived there for about two and half years and my brother recently moved in with me. But before living in this peaceful and quaint town, here's my story . . .

As you may know already our parents are divorced, they got divorce a few months before our fifth birthday which would be the first of many that we would spent apart. Mama and I moved back to France and to Paris where she learned her trade.

Age 5

Mama sent me to private, very privileged schools up until Junior High School   

Age 14

Everyday after school, I'd go to Mama's shop. While I was elementary school, I'd greet her customers as they came in and learnt every item on Mama's menu. By middle school, when I wasn't doing homework or studying I'd work in the shop assisting the wait and floor staff. In Junior High, I had learn't many of Mama's recipes by heart and enjoyed very much assisting her and her apprentices in the kitchen

I'd go to Mama's Pâtisserie everyday after school

The beginning of the summer of my before my last year of Junior High, I got news from Sake that he and Papa were moving back to Papa's hometown in Japan to stay there semi-permanently while Sake attended High School. I begged Mama to allow me to go to school with Sake and for me to live in Japan for a while. After months of both Sake and I begging her, she allowed me to live Papa and Sake for the duration of my three years of high school on the condition that I would return to her after and I spent part of summer vacation with her and Sake and I both stay with her Christmas every year I lived in Japan. After Papa also agreeing to Mama's term, I attended High School with my brother.

Age 16

When we graduated High School, I returned to Mama and to France as promised with a heavy heart, I would miss living with Papa and Sake. Traveling with them on Papa's Archaeological Trips during Spring and the latter Part of Summer Vacation. I'd miss the beauty and liveliness of the seasonal festivals and something else you'll have to hear about another time! 


I attended a university that offered a two year culinary arts programme, which I focused more on french pastry making  

Age 19

After finished that programme I was 20 and then worked under Mama at her shop for another two years

When I completed my apprenticeship with Mama, I moved to Pet Society after loving the small town while visiting it once while I was university with some friends.

Au Revoir la France! 

Living in a small town!

When I first moved to the small town where my sister had been residing for the past two and a half years. I thought I'd try settling in one place and so I decided open up an Italian style restaurant

After a few months of running the restaurant and living the quiet town life of Pet Society, I quickly became bored of normalcy of it all and had a strong desire to go traveling and going back what really held my passion, archaeology.

 after receiving a call from an old college professor who wanted my help in an excavation site on the outskirts of Cairo. I packed up shop (the restaurant) and was flying off to Egypt. After being nagged by Father back in college to get my pilot's license, it sure does come in handy now!

On arriving at the dig site, I was pleasingly surprised to find the Captain of the Airship, The Black Paw. Helmholtz also calls Pet Society his home port, where he docks his Airship when he's not traveling. Helm was there exploring the dig site

  After weeks of excavation and digging, the team managed to located the tomb that we were hoping to find. I was allowed to take a few artifacts back home to study and display at makeshift museum I set up.

While in Egypt I made a friend and that I couldn't bare to leave her behind. This is Layla!

Nakamura Sake

I'm Sake Franҫois, the older of the Nakamura Twins. I currently reside with my sister, Sakura in a small quite town called Pet Society. 

I haven't always lived with my sister, our parents divorced while we were still young and spent my childhood with our father traveling the world. Our father is Japanese and our mother is French. Father is an archaeologist and Mother is a patissier by trade and is also an expert in french cuisine.

I spent my younger years in archaeological dig sites mainly in Egypt and India. From a young age, I found myself enthralled with the beauty of ancient Egypt and archaeology quickly became not only my father's passion but mine as well. I was home schooled by Father at elementary level.

Age 9

 

We moved back to Father's hometown in Japan while I attended high school, but we'd still travel during school breaks and summer vacation. Mother allowed Sakura to attend high school with me for her to experience her Japanese heritage. Father was never much of a cook, so I did most of the cooking for us, using what I learned while we still lived with Mother and my little sister. Over the years of traveling I learnt the culinary styles of every place we visited. 

Age 16

I attended university in Egypt, studying the History of many ancient cultures and archaeology. I spent most of my time at college heavily engrossed in reading and studying the artifacts at my disposal at the university.

Spring a watercolour,

Summer an oil painting,
