All of her lore is under the cut:') (it's v long I was feeling big-brained)

Enya’s parents originally left the U.S. and moved to Kamorocho for her bio father's new job and also ran a goods and services shop and would launder money for the Omi Alliance in exchange for money because the shop her parents owned was not doing well financially and ran the risk of losing the business and home. even when Enya’s biological dad had a second job and it wasn't enough.

Her dad would work long hours often after Enya was born and didn't make much time for Enya's mother and would have countless arguments because of it leaving her mother and her alone most days. Enya was no more than 6 months old when this unfolded.

Every few months, someone is sent to collect the money from their business to be laundered. The person who would pick it up would be Tendo.

Enya’s mom ended up meeting Tendo one day when he came to collect the money they owed and Enya’s mom and Tendo had an affair (which Tendo just went along with it to make more money while Enya’s mom actually fell for him).

Tendo eventually let Enya’s mom know she didn’t mean anything to him and that he was just using her, in the end. She begged him to stay but he refused. Enya’s bio dad finds out and tried to fight Tendo, but with him being a skilled boxer, but he killed her dad from blunt force trauma.

Enya’s mother was mortified. Her mother decided wouldn’t launder any more money for the Omi and after a big fight Enya’s mom threatened to tell the authorities so Tendo made arrangements to have her killed. In that event, Enya was left alone in her crib wailing.

Eventually, the police arrived after complaints of a smell and crying in the small apartment and Enya was found and taken to an orphanage in Kamorocho. There was no information found on either of them in regard to their name as the Omi made sure the make them "disappear" Enya was spared simply because she was harmless and seemingly would "Never remember this" In the words of Tendo

Her foster dad, Okino Sasaki, a native of Ijincho finds her at the Sunflower Orphanage during a business trip while working at a corporate office in Ijincho. He always wanted kids but unfortunately, he is sterile. So in light of his successful business, he wanted to have the joy of changing a child's life giving them a healthy, happy childhood. That's where he finds 6-year-old Enya. To this day, she calls him "Oki-san" rather than father. Overall while living with Okino, overall she was happy, he made time to take her to parks and even took her to the library to look at magazines since she loves fashion so much. He also put her in Taekwondo classes after school when he worked late and even explained to only use self-defense in dire situations. Enya loved every second of it. The only strange thing was her reoccurring nightmare of screaming, and a man's face she's never seen before. She had these dreams practically once every year. Each time more fragments come out. The first figure would mumble incoherent words and the only word that was clear was the "Omi Alliance" which was one word the figure would say constantly. It wasn't until middle school that she temporarily stopped having them.

Over the years, Okino eventually falls for Kozumi Hideko who he later marries and allows her to move into Okino's 2 bedroom apartment. Kozumi is the bane of Enya's existence. She's overtly controlling, and combative, towards Enya, and eventually by weaseling in Okino's heart she quickly became head of the household. Okino allowed her to take over the home while he worked long hours at the office leading to screaming matches every day. Okino allowed her to do anything she wanted except one specific thing she wanted most of all. The biggest one is that Kozumi wants Okino to sell his business and move to Sotenbori, but Okino was adamant about Enya finishing school and avoid her from constantly uprooting her life as she went through that in several foster homes. Another part of it is because of her skin tone.

This rivalry between Enya and her stepmother led to her acting out a lot, cutting class, not paying attention in school, and eventually sneaking out once she entered high school. Due to her nearly getting expelled due to her retaliating against a bully, her stepmother got fed up and had a discussion with Okino and managed to manipulate him to send her to a boarding school for the rest of her time there.

While she was there, she was absolutely miserable. Some of the kids teased her more than others (apart from her skin tone, and the fact she was technically an orphan) She hated it. She hid in the bathroom most lunch periods until one day she meets Shoji Kazuhiro.

Enya fell for Shoji quickly, and from what it appeared he did too. He was her first for everything. And for a while, it was one big honeymoon stage, up until they both graduated high school. Enya did 2 years in college as a business major. Not exactly because she wanted to, but wanting to make Okino proud. Originally she wanted to be a fashion designer, but as she was told, "It wasn't practical" For those 2 years, she was under a ton of stress. Not only because of the heavy workload but because of her constant fight with Shoji. they've broken up and made up so many times. Sometimes she would go months and he would reel her back in with his charm. She really wanted it to work, but Shoji constantly ditched her to play pachinko and get wasted with his friends. There was even an instance he forget her birthday. Eventually, the stress of her relationship and doing something she didn't love in college caused her to drop out and move back home.

Enya was shooting to work with Okino, but at the time she needed experience (Even nepotism would save her) Not to mention when he's not home Kozumi makes it impossible for her (She couldn't even eat any of the food in the house because it was for "working members of the household" Some days Enya would be saved because Okino asked why she didn't eat one day he came home early and confronted Kozumi. In her normal fashion, she threw a tantrum. eventually, she started doing it covertly when he wasn't there.

Enya finally had enough of the fighting and constant struggle to even be able to feed herself and decided to go job hunting. She tried many places but to no avail, and she was rejected. Until she meets Saeko. Originally Enya came in for a drink and conversed with her, but eventually turned into her bawling her eyes out over how tough things have been, Saeko comforted her and commented on how beautiful she is and asked if she was willing to work at a cabaret. While her club was full, Saeko pulled some strings and got her a position at the Rose Blossom Cabaret.

Enya realized how quickly she had to shape up. Originally Enya is rather timid and anxious. Connecting with others wasn't her strong suit. but after getting to know some of the girls, they encouraged her that in order for her to get more tips, she needed to be more extroverted. So after a few rehearsals, she made more than enough to provide for herself, eventually getting her an apartment. And coincidently, Shoji comes back apologetically and made lots of empty promises "I wanna marry you!" "You're the love of my life!" "I can't live without you!" All that jazz was a load of crap. Unfortunately, Enya was still a tad bit naive, no, not even, just love-bombed to the point anything Shoji did or didn't do would either make or break her day. So he had a death grip on her.

It seemed like a great fairy tale at the moment for Enya because her thoughts were "Everything is going perfectly!" Until Shoji was back to his old ways. He hated the fact that she worked at a cabaret and guys would look at her. He never missed an opportunity to slut shame her in hopes she loses her confidence completely and quits. But she refused. One particular day she got into a heated argument with Shoji at her apartment to the point he punched a hole in her wall. She kicked him out and stopped seeing him for months. The final time they got back together, Shoji was allegedly "homeless" and his roommate kicked him out so we came to her house crying and begging in the pouring rain for her to "let him stay" And of course, they get back together. It was completely short-lived however while on her lunch break, she went to Gindaco Highball Tavern where she found Shoji on a date with a girl while they were still together. Enya made a big scene and threw a drink in his face. She cried for months. Until eventually she tried "casual dating" until she realized it was a terrible idea since no one took her seriously. Not to mention, being attacked and robbed after work, she quickly became paranoid. These events left her severely traumatized and with abandonment issues. After that point, she vowed to never date again.

Fast forward 5 years later,

Enya was working a normal shift at the Rose Blossom when she gets a surprise visit from Saeko, who she hasn't seen in years. This time, however, she wasn't alone. She was accompanied by Ichiban, Nanba, Adachi, Joon-gi Han, Eri, and no surprise, Zhao! With time after she was introduced to everyone she was quickly established as she gave Saeko the short of what has happened since a few years ago they met. She laughed and joked and even teared up with them all. Soon enough before their trip to Sotenbori, the Omi was mentioned. She explained to them that she has had a reoccurring dream where the word "Omi Alliance" was said several times and she saw a figure who she described in detail that immediately described Tendo. Han asked her a few questions about her childhood and recalled if she has adopted maybe there was a link to her bio parents. Soon it all started to make sense. She assumed that maybe Tendo may have something to do with her past and her bio parents. And soon asked if she could tag along on Ichiban's journey.

During that time she bonded with everyone. Enya and Saeko got really close and were inseparable. She enjoyed giggling at Saeko oogling at Han and even supported and hinted that she should go for it. She learned that Nanba was a former doctor and how met Ichiban. Adachi always made jokes and the occasional pick-up line she'd laugh at and Saeko would remark how bad it was. Enya chatted with Han about his past and how things are at the Geomijul and remarked on how reserved he is. She'd do the occasional "Han-chan" Saeko does just for giggles. Enya and Ichiban bonded instantly. She loved his high energy and how optimistic he was, and his also being an orphan made him the most relatable. She listened as he shared stories about his time growing up at Shangri-La. Zhao was the biggest mystery for her. At most, he shared he was once the leader of the Liumang (that she heard about briefly, only word-of-mouth) and how a coup was formed against him so now he's no longer the leader and tags along with Ichiban and company. She was intimidated at best. There have been times he has teased her and played pranks on her. Sometimes she would get fussy about it, but his charm always prevented it from escalating. And that was one of those things she was apprehensive about. Shoji had that same charm. She didn't know what Zhao was capable of, but she did stay distant at first. He did manage to get a giggle and some banter out of her every now and again.

It wasn't until after the fight with Ishioda and the bomb was planted, Zhao made an effort to help carry Enya out after springing her ankle during the fight. He even carried her up until they were able to take a train to Kamorocho. While they were friends of course and any friend would do it, Zhao showed a great deal of concern. (Especially with him being such an aloof nonchalant guy) That's when the gears started turning in her head. The inevitable "Uh oh." when she knows she's about to get a crush. Her immediate reaction? Run. She avoided Zhao as much as she could and by that, it's usually avoiding being alone with him. But on the inside, she knew it was getting worse. She found herself looking at him consciously, any time he interacted with her she was a flustered mess. Zhao had his suspicions but never pointing out, since teasing her relentlessly was far more entertaining

Enya later finds out the truth about her parents when Ichiban and company finally made it to the Millenium Tower to fight Tendo. Once they arrived in the room, Enya confronted him, saying that she feels in some way she may be connected to her parents and that they could talk it out, and that deep down he may be a good guy at heart. The words he spoke were "Huh, you have her eyes." Enya was confused until he happily boasted about him slaughtering her parents. It was an earth-shattering moment. She was filled with rage and wanted nothing more than to kill him. While they did knock him out, they had to hold Enya back as she grabbed a glass shard and planned to stab him while knocked out. She broke down completely at that moment.

Wrapping up to Aoki, and Arakawa's funeral, she stood outside with everyone when Nanba and Saeko mentioned that Ichiban isn't leaving. While the cheers went on, One of the coworkers that knew Okino frantically found her to announce that he was sick. He had a heart attack and was in critical condition. Everyone sat in the hospital with Enya as she spent her last moments there. Kozumi stood in the corner scowling while Enya cried. She talked about how she should have visited more and should have called more often. everyone stood to comfort her as she stood around him. She could have sworn she felt him squeeze her hand. And then his heart rate increased rapidly until he flatlined. Enya was broken

After the funeral, Enya stayed cooped up in her apartment. She'd have backlogs of messages from the gang, even Han suggested stopping by and "monitoring" her, but they voted against it since it would be an invasion of privacy. Ichiban did his best to pitch an idea of how they could get her out of the house when Zhao volunteered to propose a plan to get her out for some fresh air. He didn't disclose it, but the words of Ichiban said "We're counting on you, Zhao."

Zhao made some Yaki soba knowing it's her fav food and visited her apartment. At first, she shooed him away and said she didn't want company right now. But of course, Zhao persisted 🤣 he pestered her until she nearly bolted to the door to tell him off when she opened the door to him with an apologetic face and some yaki soba. She would have naturally turned him down anyway, but with her not eating anything for 3 days with no groceries, she was in no position to say no. Zhao kept the conversation light and avoided mentioning Okino. He didn't get a giggle out of her but he did ask if she'd be willing to do her a favor. She was about to say no, but knowing he went out of his way to get her some food she desperately needed even if she would never admit it, she relented. Only to find out this "errand" was a trip to Club SEGA. She kept asking what was the favor, and he just asked her to watch him play. It wasn't until he (purposely) kept getting stuck on a level of Space Harrier, she asked if she can try. Of course, it was easy, but he figured she would get impatient enough that she'd want to beat it. After that, she perked up more and they played more games together. There were incidences where he would brush his hand across hers, and she would jolt a little but tried to focus on the game. Enya laughed a lot more and even beat Zhao at a game (with pure luck of course) It wasn't until Enya found a huge Panda in the UFO catcher, she mentioned it's been there for years and no one has been able to grab it. She tried a few times until she ran out of money. Zhao offered to try, but just like her, was unsuccessful. Enya moped a bit, but Zhao mentioned maybe it was time to go for now since he was thirsty. So they went to get Boba and she ordered her favorite: Taro Tea. Zhao opened up a bit more about his upbringing and a bit more in detail about why he's no longer the leader. He did keep it light and made some jokes, and when he felt he was starting to shift the mood talking about cooking, working at You Tian, and some of the things he knew about the arcade games.

Once they finished up, he paid for the food with Yen he had in his pocket, but noticed his wallet was missing. Enya scolded how he should be careful, but he mentioned he may have left it at Club SEGA at asked her to wait outside. 30 minutes passed and she was just about to walk in to help when he came out with the huge panda in his hand. Enya was in awe and literally asked how did he manage. He explained he paid off the worker to hold his wallet while she was in the bathroom so he had a reason to come back and asked the worker to put an "Out of Order" sign on the UFO catcher so no one takes it. He spent 30 minutes because he kept getting everything but the panda, until it was the last thing in the machine and snagged it easily. He gave back all of the plushies and kept the panda instead. Enya practically teared up and asked why did he go through that for her when he mentioned everyone was pretty worried, that he hated to see her frown, and that she was great company since "everyone was too busy to hang out" Zhao walked her back to her apartment and she thanked him. Then kinda rambled blushing on about how she's grateful and he means a lot to her, staggering and trying not to lead on she likes him a lot (though she's failing miserably because Zhao can read her like a book) and just said "You sure do talk a lot." which threw her off and he leaned in to give her a kiss. And ended with "Soo... see you tomorrow?" Enya just nodded while blushing still bewildered by what just happened. And from there, Enya and Zhao started dating C:

Option substory things:

-Enya and Ichigang try to find Okino's will before Kozumi so she doesn't sell his business and his home so she can use her money to live with her rich boyfriend she was seeing the entire time Okino was feeling sick. They later find the will and find out Okino's death was deliberate for insurance fraud and she was sent to jail for life. Enya doesn't know what to do with the business so she asked Okino's assistant to help her with keeping things running while not actively working there since her passions now are working at the Rose Blossom Cabaret and studying fashion design (She even designed a dress for one of the hostesses :D)

Shoji returns and finds Enya while she's working constantly badgering her to get back together after him being divorced and not having custody of his kids. But now she's fully healed and wants nothing to do with him. He spots a hickey on her neck and get's all combative accusing her that she replaced him and promised she'd never leave him. The guilt trip doesn't work and that was his final passive attempt. Little does she know he is affiliated with some rinky-dink street gang. Usually, she's able to fight off anyone, but there was a huge group Shoji had with him that overpowered and kidnapped her. (At this point Shoji is very much in the "If I can't have you, no one can) and help her hostage. Ofc Han noticed that everyone including Zhao couldn't get in touch with her, so naturally they found her in a warehouse tied down. Zhao did not take that well :D Shoji was beaten so bad to the point his death would have been him being spared. Han was close to making arrangements when Ichiban stopped him. And instead they called the cops and he was lock up

There it is... Enya lore :D *passes out from writing*
