Saya and Shin were always together. It was expected of the twins. However, while Shin was very good at sports and at studying, Saya loved the arts. She was considered to be an excellent painter and pianist. The twins grew up in Suita with only their mother, after their father died in a traffic accident when they were 5 years old. Though it was difficult raising them without a father, their mother did her very best to give them a good quality of life. She worked two jobs in order to provide for their basic needs, and has always managed to spend time with them. Mrs. Tegoshi would always hear wonderful things about her twins, and how good of a mother she was. She took pride in knowing Saya and Shin had good principles and always cared for each other. She insisted on learning all she could about them, so she could understand the kind of goals each wanted to achieve for themselves. Shin studied very hard in school so that he could enter Osaka Gakuin University, while Saya thought it was good enough to find a job and give back to their mother. Though she enjoyed painting and playing the piano, Saya had no intention of pursuing either. She decided to attend whatever college would accept her because her grades were not as impressive as Shin's.
