	One day, Topping reportedly got seperated from his siblings during a family outing to the market and could not find them again. Tired from wandering, he fell asleep in a crate, which was later moved to the mobile stores of a traveling circus. Fascinated by the nomadic lifestyle of the circus performers, Topping stayed with them, absorbing all the knowledge the acrobats, harlequins, and ringmasters had to offer.<ref name="Topping Database"/>		One day, Topping reportedly got seperated from his siblings during a family outing to the market and could not find them again.
