You were at an orphanage, having decided to adopt a child. It was one of the few orphanages to shelter monsters as well as humans, but that didn't mean it treated them well. Monsters were new, and you know how society often deals with new things.

Inside the orphanage, there were many children. But you ended up walking out with a skeleton monster. He was tall for his age, about 4'9. And he had a giant crack in his skull that you dare not ask about. But he was friendly, so he was your pick.
