Editing Scion2e:StairwaytotheHeavens: Maya Ikeda (section)

==''Cosmo and Onigiri? No sweat, but that guy over there wants your number.''==

Like more than a few Scions, Maya grew up raised by a single parent. Her father Ken would have honestly preferred the stark honesty of having Maya left on his doorstep in a basket, rather than her mother disappearing less than a week after giving birth, but he committed himself to raising her just the same. His job prospects didn't exactly increase to match his new responsibilities, and the combination of only being able to afford rent in better-off neighborhoods and constantly working multiple jobs left Maya unsupervised and educationally under-served.

Things seemed to get better when Ken won a small local lottery when Maya was in her teens. He used the money to open a bar and restaurant with a few of his brothers and Maya dropped out to work there as soon as she'd worn down her father enough to allow it. Kagura Sushi has become a popular spot while maintaining blue-collar charm, especially since Maya moved up from washing dishes to run the Izekaya-esque bar. A desire for a more stable community has always led her to set aside extra food for struggling families and let local kids hang around the restaurant patio instead of more dangerous areas, but recently the clientele seems to be getting stranger and the problems much harder to solve.
