Younger by two minutes, Waka is the more exciteable and enthusiastic twin. His childhood was punctuated by scraped knees and bumps on the head, usually from climbing the trees planted in the family backyard, or helping out around the family bakery. Whatever he lacked in patience, he made up for with effort and determination.
As Waka grew older, his interests began to branch from typical childhood fare into more elaborate concepts such as the construction of spells. His parents encouraged his study, arranging to send him to one of the magic universities to begin his study as a Wizard. However after the first few weeks, Waka was sent back, deemed a failure by his teachers. Leya tried to comfort him, but Waka shrugged her off.
From there, Waka became bitter and irritated. He started to fail in his standard classes, and more often than not, skipped to hang out around the bakery or somewhere else in the city. His failures made him feel powerless, and his anger at himself drew a wedge between himself and his family. At one point, he considers making a Warlock Pact, bringing the topic up with his mother only to be aggressively shut down in an uncharacteristic fit of rage. Later that evening he was visited by his estranged uncle Shuu, who explained his own Warlock Pact, and the impact it'd had on him, and why Leya had reacted so harshly.
