This story just came to me in a dream, and I decided to make it a reality. I hope you guys like it.

By the way, in the tags, Hapakepani means "part Japanese" in Hawaiian. I thought it would be fitting to for this story since the sisters are part Japanese.

The Sisters:

Kira Kobayashi, 26

- Single, successful lawyer, ambitious. Wants to be proud of her Japanese heritage, but her mother would constantly badger her about adopting a more European appearance. Had a privileged life. Mother is a supermodel. The younger of the sisters.

Denise Kobayashi, 29

- Engaged, college professor at Harvard, very intelligent. Very proud of her Japanese heritage despite facing subtle bigotry from her colleagues. Mother was also a professor, but has since retired to be with her family. The eldest of the sisters.

The Parents:

Raymond Kobayashi, 56

- Father of the sisters. Is still married to Denise's mother. C.E.O. of a very successful record company. Used to be a solo artist during his prime, but has since given the spotlight to newcomers.

Phylicia Rashad Kobayashi, 54

- Mother of Denise. Was once a professor at Harvard, but has retired. Emphasized independence and intelligence to her daughter. Very proud of Denise. Wants to be a grandmother soon.

Diane Morris, 49

- Mother of Kira. Still holds a grudge against Raymond for leaving her. Praised around the world for her agelessness and loves her daughter deeply.

Others:

Choi Dong-wook, 30

- Fiancé of Denise. Loving and devoted to Denise and is very excited about the wedding. A DJ signed under Denise's father's company, which is how they met.

Gwendolyn Stewart, 29
