Mini History
The family was started by Rikuto and Mami Matsumoto who combined their surnames after getting married and getting away from their respective families.
The two lived in downtown Yang-Tzu leaving peacefully of Mami's amazing cooking and Rikuto's bakers job. He made noodles at a local cafe and other dough related things creating his own recipes over time by adding and removing things he thought were needed.
They had two sons Haru and Sabrou. One filled with passion for his own business and the other a lazy drunk that felt ashamed every time he got home jobless. Mami loved them both and got a job herself to help fund Haru's dreams of opening a tailor shop to create Kimono's and other garbs to sell on the isle or outside of it.
Both of the brothers moved out when they were twenty. One finding loving and starting up the business he had always dreamed off and the other disappearing from the face of the planet. Haru shared his passion with his now wife Aiko whom he married after a few years of being together. Together they worked in their own shop called 'The threaded swan' Where they had two sons and one daughter later on all living above the shop itself and helping out when business got tough.
Their children's names were Akira, Hiroto and Hana. Hana and Hiroto named after their father's first letter and Akira after his mother's. Akira and Hiroto first seemed like a mirror of their father and uncle but after some time passed settled their differences just spending life the way they wanted to while Hana strayed off slightly enjoying her peace and not enjoying the boys company.
Akira and his father Haru closed the business after a few years of running it having collected a large amount of designs and help from their children and other family members. They turned the shop into a noodle bar the recipes of their grandfather being used to create a lovely environment to live in.
They now all have children of their own as even Sabrou's child appeared out of nowhere ready to help out the family while still ashamed of her past.
Family Traits
Physical Traits:
- Females
- The Matsumoto family mostly consists out of females it for some reason being in their blood to at least all have two daughters after being married to the same men for a few years. They have bright golden and round eyes almost all wearing something in their hair so people can keep them apart. They have dark black hair with sometimes brown tints or dark blue hues and wear bright colored Kimono's each main or cousin line sticking to the same color patterns in their clothing out of respect for their grand father who ran a business of selling and creating the outfits they are still wearing.
- Males
- The males of the family have dark black hair sometimes with a hint of brown and sometimes with an almost blue hue to it. Hair is long and uncut kept up in buns or over the shoulders. If the hair is cut it is seen as a sign they don't want to be part of the family. Their eyes a duller gold than their female counterparts with their bright round eyes. They are archers having been trained by family friends or scholar and are almost always a bit witty, stoic and flirty in their actions due to having to put up with the overwhelming amount of female presence in each household.
