ok um!!! they live in a world where your magical ability will manifest when you're scared and will like.... represent that fear? but if it gets out of hand you turn into a monster that basically has to be fought/worn out to bring you back. It happens much more often to young kids and tapers off as you get older. But the younger the kid the more sudden the transformation and the shorter time you have to defeat the monster before the kid is gone forever. So there are people who hunt monsters and bring the kids home or find them somewhere to stay. Its a really risky but rewarding job and they're generally well loved. Kids who've turned before will look weird and reminiscent of their monster forms. Any given person will usually have a trait or two relating to their anxieties though! And the same type of anxiety or fear could manifest differently in different people. 

Witch and deer here were both turned into monsters as kids, deer got lost in the woods for days and turned into a deer monster that could confuse and disorient people from the same woods, whereas witch nearly drowned in a lake when the ice cracked under her and her family and she turned into an ice fish monster that drags people under.
After they were rescued by the same person, they met and gave eachother their silly nicknames, but then went their separate ways and grew up apart.
They met again when they were adults when deer was rescuing a kid-monster near witch's village, she helped him out and then offered to help him with the rest of his current list of monsters - but then it just escalated into her becoming his permanent companion.
They still have powers relating to their monster forms. Deer has magnetic powers that are SUPPOSED to confuse compasses and cause disorientation but he can use them to recall his weapon and other metallic objects. Looking in his eyes can make you forget where you're going or get lost.
Witch can walk on water and freeze things around her. She's gotten really good at manipulating this power

Bootstrap was a very very young child who turned years and years ago. The monster had been haunting an abandoned church and no one remembers who it used to be. Deer and witch tamed them, but they dont seem to change back or remember they used to be human, so at this point they're just a very intelligent owl more than anything. 
Named bootstrap because deer was trying to figure out their name by calling random things and witch proved it'd come to anything you called enthusiastically by yelling 'bootstrap' and it worked.
