Unwanted Burdens
You are not good at taking care of things. You can’t even keep plants alive. . . . but now you’ve gotten stuck with this admittedly adorable sidekick or pet.
A monster? A creature of the underworld? The Weapon? Some other PC? You’ve sort of adopted them, not that you’d ever admit it. You like to complain about them online, but you’re protective of them, too.
