Mana is Allen’s foster father. The exact circumstances of the adoption are unknown, but it’s assumed that Allen was abandoned at birth and picked up by Mana later. Mana gave him his name, and birthdate (Christmas Day), and taught Allen the values that he shows today. Three years ago, when Allen was about twelve, Mana passed away.

In the ancient city of Matel, the inhabitants used to build dolls to entertain themselves. Miraculously, these dolls came alive, but were abandoned when the inhabitants moved out of Matel. Lala is the last of these dolls. About seventy years ago, Gsor wandered into Matel and found Lala. Gsor was disfigured and often buillied by other children. With Lala, he finally found acceptance and peace, and decided to stay in Matel with Lala for the rest of his life.
