((At the age of 9, kids can choose if they get a guardian. Their guardian is a very obviously real person, but they act like a shoulder demon/angel. They can appear in mini form and talk to their kid, or they can turn into an animal for a while and advise them like that. The kid won't know who their guardian is until the guardian decodes to reveal it, although they have to wait at least a year to do the reveal. Normally, the guardian and kid do not know each other.))
