Sakuya was born to Ray's oldest son, George, and his wife Lauren; later, she was joined by her sister, Lisa, and her brother, Raymond. She grew up in a loving and politically active household (George and Lauren have been active in the local Democratic party since their college days). At an early age, she became impressed with the strong female figures in her life (her mother runs the business side of the restaurant chain, and her mother's best friend and her unofficial aunt Donna Lo is a well-known attorney), and decided she wanted a career where she could make a difference. Wanting to follow in "Aunt Donna's" footsteps, she set her sights on law school at Berkeley. She was active both academically and socially in high school and college, playing shortstop on both her high school and college baseball teams and meeting most of her close mundane-world friends while doing her undergraduate studies. While studying contract law, she met Robert Donnelly, and they quickly fell for each other and married just after graduation.

She dove right in, quickly distinguishing herself with diligence and sheer ability. The work was rewarding, but the situations many of her clients dealt with had a wearing effect on her. Robert, having gone a more lucrative route with a different firm, was not unsympathetic, but his focus was more on their financial well-being. The philosophical disconnect, combined with the stresses of their jobs, began fraying their relationship, revealing incompatibilities that neither of them had noticed before. One stormy argument in May 2010 led to them sitting down and facing the uncomfortable truth: theirs was essentially a college romance that had run its course without them noticing. They were amicably divorced by summer's end, and remain on fairly friendly terms. |
