A little girl wished upon a star for her favorite doll to become real, and by some horrible miracle, her wish came true! In that moment, she went from just another kid's fashion doll to a sentient, human sized hunk of plastic! Unfortunately, children don't actually like life sized hunks of plastic that much. And neither do parents! After the little girl screamed from the shock of her wish coming true, her parents were understandably terrified and dragged the doll to a dumpster before she knew how to even move on her own in her cheap plastic body.
Not being able to move but remaining able to think isn't fun. She felt like she wasn't in her own body. Sitting alone in silence without any freedom really makes one wonder. Wonder what's going on, wonder where she was, wonder why she couldn't move like the little girl, wonder what she was, wonder why her body sometimes felt more wrong than his inability to move. It must've been a few weeks before someone found him next to the dumpster. That someone dragged him through school gates. Set him down in the corner of the art room.
His memory draws a blank after that point.
He still doesn't know who brought him in.
All he knows is that he goes to school here now. And that's all that matters to him, anyway. Why wonder why you exist or why your cheap plastic body will never match you, when you could spend that wondering on wondering why you keep falling down and messing up your body even more although you can never fix it without risking destroying it even more?
