Monarchkit grew up as an only child, but with an extra pair of legs, and as a result was babied by his parents. His parents would call him special. Though he is self-conscious of them. His parents taught him lessons, some of the lessons included sensitive material, "Liking another cat of your gender isn't okay, it is, in fact, rather bad," they would say. Later on, before becoming an apprentice, his parents died from greencough, which is also when he discovered and fully accepted he was transgender.
