Spook is the very reason science, art, and a six-year-old are a bad combination.

Once upon a time, a somewhat-mad scientist was given a picture drawn by his six-year-old daughter, Lizzy. One it was a drawing of a fox, colored purple with white and green patches. In the top left corner, in shaky handwriting, was the word "Spook". Proud of his daughter's growing artistic ability, the scientist taped the drawing to the wall of his lab in their basement.

One day, hired thugs broke into their house. Lizzy hid upstairs under her bed and remained unseen. Her father wasn't so lucky. Whether he was killed or just kidnapped was never determined. His laboratory was utterly destroyed. Dangerous chemicals spilled out over the ground, protective cases broken, and the drawing fell from the wall directly into the mess. In a moment of something like magic, the fox in the drawing came suddenly to life.

When Social Services never came for the girl, Spook became Lizzy's constant guardian and beloved playmate. They left the ruined house for safety reasons and now live in an abandoned warehouse.
