History:

 Amaya was raised by both of her parents up until she turned ten. When she turned ten, her parents were put in jail for apparently stealing from other families and possibly making meth and selling it to people. Amaya was then put under the custody of her grandmother who raised her to live her own life in ways she liked. At the age of twelve, her grandmother had stopped working and retired. Around this time was when her grandmother started her own pottery business. Since then, Amaya has been helping her grandmother with pottery and would casually paint them when she had the money to purchase paint. In school, her grades were never steady. During logical assignments, Amaya would fail at it even with a tutor. When a teacher told them to make something creative for their assignment, she would get the best grade. At the age of fifteen, her parents were released from jail and they've tried to get their daughter back only to find that their daughter was far more happier with her grandmother than she was with them. Rena decided to allow her daughter to stay with her mother while Ryosuke still tries to convince his daughter to move back in with them. A month after their release, Amaya was diagnosed with Crohn's disease after she kept having abdominal pain after frequent fevers. Her grandmother, fearing for her granddaughter, had her have surgery taking the intestinal resection option over the other two. After the surgery, Amaya was put on some medication and her diet changed to mostly home cooked meals.

Trivia:

• No one in her family has had Crohn's disease.

• Amaya has a huge sweet tooth.

• She frequently talks to her doctor on the phone.

• Other people mistaken her doctor as either her brother or her lover when they are seen together.

• Amaya prefers to live with her grandmother because she fears others may bully her once they meet her parents.

• There are times she wishes she had a sibling, but is thankful she doesn't have one seeing how they wouldn't have parents to guide them.

• After her surgery, Amaya sang a song in a light voice quietly which scared the other patients in her room, so she had to be transferred to a room where no one else occupied it.

• All of the painted pottery in her grandmother's pottery store is painted by Amaya.

• Her nickname is Mochi because when she was six, she misspelled her last name as Mochi instead of Machi.
