Dinky Bossetti is a 15-year-old girl who was adopted as a baby. Dinky is an unkempt goth kid who is constantly picked on at school, her antisocial attitude and behaviors are clearly caused by her intelligence, her adoptive parents not accepting Dinky for who she is and her bullying and being outcast by her peers. Dinky finds solace in her "Ark", a small cabin-boat beached on a lake shore. In and around the boat, Dinky has collected a menagerie of abandoned animals who are her friends/family.
