Austin Atakasu

Description
Austin runs the Coffee Bean that is not known by many, but by a lot of the teenagers in the City. Not too many people come daily, allowing her to run it all by herself. Occasionally, she has her cousin, Sawyer and his friend Zeniel assist her in running the shop. She's started the shop, which was previously known as the Pastry Haven, at age 17 and made the acquaintance of most customers that came then as children. Austin is now 23, living happily with her occupation.

Attitude: She grew up with a tough cover, that soon diminished around the Atakasus. Despite her past, she stays happy and grateful for whatever little she has, spreading that positivity to her customers at the Coffee Bean. That side of her can still be seen, when she takes breaks; the only time she has to sit and think. Often times, she wouldn't do this, for fear of reminding herself of the past, which she prefers to keep hidden.

Background
She grew up an orphan, in an old and poorly kept orphanage packed with kids much younger than her. Austin was taken in, despite her old age of 10, where she was raised in a nuclear family with three other siblings. Her parents had perished in a murder incident two years later, and the oldest in the family, (who was 19 at the time) took charge of them all and required the second and third oldest siblings to work. Takashi worked almost every day and every hour, and Kenji, the second oldest, was gone almost as often. Austin was hired by multiple people for housekeeping with her older sister Kou before she left to be an MP when they were both 13. Kenji went off to live on his own when Austin was 14. After a year, the family fell apart. Takashi didn't want his last sibling to suffer in the hard work that needed to be done then when Kenji had disappeared and Kou left to join the Military Police. He sent Austin to live with their aunt, or Sawyer's mother, whose husband and brother-in-law were MPs. As she got older, she spent a lot of her time taking care of Sawyer, who was three years younger than her. But there wasn't a day she didn't think of them. With the help of her aunt, after plenty of explaining why, they finally built the small pastry shop at 16. She excused herself from the household at seventeen, convincing her aunt that she would be fine on her own. At the time, she had Sawyer and Zeniel to run the shop with her, and sometimes while she tended to her other jobs. (Work in Progress)
