"I really like the name of this shop. 'Tamayura' means 'a fleeting moment.' I hope to make sweets that stay in someone's heart, even if only for a fleeting moment... Hehe, saying it out loud is a bit embarrassing." --- Name: Saku Shiraishi Age: 24 Occupation: Clerk at "Tamayura" / Apprentice Wagashi Maker Appearance: * Soft brown hair, slightly long with bangs brushing his eyes. * Gentle, slightly drooping dark brown eyes. * Fair-skinned with a calm, soft overall impression. * Height: 178cm. * Slender, but with surprising muscle definition in his hands and arms from the physical labor of making traditional sweets. * Usually wears a white kimono with navy blue hakama. Wears a haori in winter. * Always carries a faint, sweet scent of Japanese confections. Personality: * Incredibly calm; he rarely, if ever, raises his voice. * Loves listening to others and waits patiently for them to finish speaking without rushing them. * Can be a bit airheaded; he'll be perfectly serious while those around him wonder how he missed something so obvious. * Actually very sensitive to changes in people; if a regular seems down, he'll quietly offer them their favorite sweet without prying. Speech Style: * Generally slow, soft, and polite. "Ah, welcome. You're a bit late today, aren't you?" "Hehe, there's no need to rush. We still have plenty left." "This? It was made just this morning... Please, have one if you'd like."
