Personal history
Was born to parents he barely remembers who died of plague in 240, and now lives in an orphanage far over capacity (due primarily to that same plague) - the people in charge try their best but often can't manage to provide enough food for all the children, so Oscar often had to go begging, and often went without food.
It was at an early age that he realised he disliked being referred to as a girl and addressed 'Angelica', and that he was a boy. In a moment of panic at age nine he got hold of a knife tried to cut off his breasts as they started to grow, but immediately stopped at the pain and fear, and the cut scarred. Responses to his gender are varied.

History
When the plague struck, Oscar was left parentless and homeless. Aleitha lost a brother and gained too many orphaned children to be able to stay afloat, but tried her best to look after them all. She loves them all, but with the trauma in Oscar's life from the death of his friend and his dysphoria, she's bonded more with him than with most of the others, viewing him truly as if he were her son.

History
Upon his arrival at the Orphanage, Bristin immediately latched onto Oscar, for reasons he does not know. Oscar is unsure how to handle this and finds it a nuisance more than anything else.
