An elderly woman, until recently, was in charge of the place for many years. She always held love for all living creatures, both human and otherwise. Whenever she found a poor abandoned creature starving out on the streets, she couldn't help but bring it home and nurse it back to health. This happened to many times that eventually, her house became filled with pets and one could not go into a room without seeing at least one of them. Fearing that she cannot take care of them all, she decided to turn Cherrywood into an orphanage for these animals. The elderly woman's son was a handsome young man who married a well-off young woman. Together, they gave the old woman a beautiful grandson. Tragedy struck the small family one day as they were taking a drive. A drunk driver collided with their car, killing the parents on the spot. The child, miraculously, survived though were badly injured from the accident. A zombie, who saw the accident, rushed to help. However, passing Subetians misread the situation, thinking the zombie meant to harm the baby. They slung hurtful insults at the undead woman, some even attempting to physically harm her. The young woman, knowing the bad state of the child, stole away underground with the boy, turning him to a zombie in the process. For many years, the child lived underground with his surrogate mother and grew up into a fine young man even though he lost his jaw from the accident. When he was deemed old enough, the zombie woman told the young man about his real family and, although he grew to love her like his own mother, he left to find whatever was left of his real family. By chance, he happened across Cherrywood Manor and immediately, the old woman knew he must have been her grandson. After all, he grew up to be the exact replica, albeit undead version, of her late son. Upon finding his grandmother, the young man chose to stay at Cherrywood Manor to take care of her, the pets she cared for, and the manor itself. Eventually, the elderly woman passed away peacefully in her sleep and her grandson assumed the position of caretaker of Cherrywood Manor. Not many know that he is a zombie as he uses a vanishing cream while dealing with customers. Hearing stories about what happened to his surrogate mother was caution enough. But he knew that there are some wonderful people willing to care for these animals and he didn't want them to leave before even allowing them to meet. To Subeta, he is known as the orphanage caretaker. To the pets, he is known as the man who gives them food. To friends, he is simply Ryuya. |
