EXTRA INFORMATION
Aya isn't exactly what most would call friendly. While he's not blatantly rude to others, he's not someone that often breaks the ice, and even more seldom talks to his fellow butlers about anything other then their jobs. He takes his role (and himself) quite seriously, and while he's been told countless times he should let himself go more often, rarely does he listen.
When he's not doting on his lady, Aya can be found cleaning his own room, or else practicing his culinary skills for hours in his kitchen. Out of the house, he enjoys bike riding and is even prone to hiking during nice weather. Mostly, however, his hobbies include solitary work, as he's an introverted sort of person. It's not that he particularly dislikes people, but he finds his own company more beneficial to his mental health than with others.
While Aya is patient with others for the most part, it's not terribly difficult to get on his bad side. When this happens, he's very likely to give someone the cold shoulder and, if his current annoyance continues to bother him, he's prone to blunt and often hurtful remarks.
history ::
Aya was born to a Japanese father and French mother in the city of Paris. His parents met while on a luxurious cruise, his father being a server on the ship and his mother a wealthy heir to an estate. They claim it was love at first sight, and most will agree when they witness the way the two swoon for one another, even after 23 years of marriage.
Contrary to this happy marriage is Aya, who, to the befuddlement of his parents, was never a particularly happy child. That isn't to say he was depressed, or even displaying signs of being sad. He was simply described as bored by most of his teachers growing up. They were always quite pleased with his work academically, and he was usually active in class discussions, however his social life left much to be desired.
Personally, Aya generally found himself unchallenged as a child. He found the work dull or else too easy, and combined with the constant display of physical affection his parents bestowed on each other and him, he was prone to a somewhat unhappy childhood. He rarely complained, however, and typically didn't put up much of a fuss from day-to-day, which went without saying puzzled his primary caregivers even more.
Being an intelligent and intuitive boy, each time his family attempted to get him to be more open about his thoughts and feelings, Aya would deflect the conversation, usually with some offhanded, but distinctly rude personal comment. With an expression of bemused apathy, it was all too easy to become aggravated with the boy and, close to his 14th year, his parents stopped trying to pry into his life.
His father was always much more sympathetic and understanding than his mother, Aya frequently thought. While he did try to get to know his son, he knew when to stop and, though it obviously pained him not to be able to talk amicably with his own child, he respected his boundaries. As such, Aya felt more respect for his father than mother, and, during his later adolescent years, grew interested in the art of servitude his father was so dedicated to. To his surprise, after agreeing to shadow his father's work and help to some extent, the boy found the profession to his liking and spent his remaining high school career learning what he could and preparing himself for a job in that area.
After his graduation, Aya moved out of his parents' home and, with a meager sum they donated to him, he opted to rent a flat. For some time, he picked up odd jobs here and there, all pertaining to serving or cleaning in some manner. From on-call housekeeping work to full-time at hotels, he found himself actually enjoying this type of work. However, it wasn't long before these various unreliable jobs weren't enough for Aya. Choosing instead to travel away from Japan, he tapped into his savings and booked a ship to America. While sailing, he was known for receiving tips from the staff, as he frequently requested to lend a hand serving and all around charming women and men.
On board, after sharing his ambitions with the head of the waiting staff, Aya was informed of a prestigious academy off the coast of California. Intrigued, the boy researched the subject and, his curiousity piqued, arranged transportation as well as a job interview.
everything else
love life: Aya, who has witnessed 19 pink, sickeningly affectionate Valentine Days, isn't all that keen on romance. He's been a solitary man all of his life, and the notion of a significant other definitely unnerves him. While he's more than capable of displaying a charming face to customers during his working days, there's no real feeling behind it and, should he ever develop feelings for someone, Aya's fairly certain he would crawl under a rock and die.
reputation: He's a cold person, without a doubt. On the whole, Aya isn't loved by everyone he interacts with due to his standoffish demeanour, something he finds perfectly suitable for his taste.
best known attribute: Aya's more than willing to demonstrate his elegant and graceful mannerisms, generally accompanied with carrying large quantities of food. He's never been seen losing his footing.
