Character's backstory
Early life
Saki Kawano was always a wonderful child: smiling, active, she was always running around, sharing her joyfulness everywhere she went. She was well-educated by her parents “as every Kusarian citizen should be”, would say her father.
Her parents were not poor, and she discovered the joy of the flight training simulations. That is when she got the passion for space, and space travels. From 7 to 18 years old, she would practice in the simulator. Space and its mysteries accompanied her throughout her academic curriculum, as she graduated from Honshu Space Engineering School.
That is where she met her future husband, Koyama Nao. They lived the perfect life together: he asked her out, and they went to the restaurant together, in a very polite way. Their relationship was merely platonic for the first six months but the two of them were deeply in love. They eventually married three years later, more as a social convention than for true belief for marriage – at least in Saki’s mind.
At the age of 23, she enlisted for Samura Heavy Industries. A position in such a prestigious company, nothing would have been more rewarding socially. More than that, she was able to find way to where she considered she belonged: space. She was trained at Tsushima Depot, in Kyushu system. There, she learnt the basics of trading, and got to know her future work tool: the “Ryujiin” Kusari Train.
From heaven to hell
For seven years, she served House Kusari through Samura Heavy Industries. For seven years, she did what was asked, transporting goods throughout Sirius, went through the toughest situations and standoff, from the Taus blockade to the Gallic raids, from hours and hours of flight to the high-risk missions she had to go through, under fire from criminals all over Sirius.
Until one day, she was asked to transport a very special shipment to an unidentified contact: human organs. As a good Kusarian citizen, she took upon herself to alert the upper hierarchy of the company. She was completely shut down. Should she go to the Kusari State Police, she was warned about the high cost of her actions – what she really heard was that her family would be executed.
She was kindly asked to make the worst mistake a Samura employee could do: drop the cargo to the competition. She was given 4 million credits and a month to complete her mission – the only mission she would be given until her dismissal. She shipped the optronic arrays to a Daumann Heavy Construction base on Planet Holstein, and then came back to Yokohama Shipyard, in New Tokyo system. There, they retrieved the black box as evidence, and was immediately fired afterwards, without any possibility of appeal.
From then on, Saki conserved a strong resentment towards Samura Heavy Industries, but not just for the fact that they tricked her in such a manner. The consequences of this event were even worse.
Her husband Koyama, worried about the outcome of this matter on his own position within the company, decided to end their marriage. He left her, leaving only a note explaining what happened. Her father, traditionalist but most importantly engulfed with pride, died of anger towards his daughter for having been fired from “the most prestigious company in the Universe”.
As for her mother, when her husband died, she left without any notice, and no one knows where she is now.
