Writing Prompt #166: Holy Toothbrush

Write a character with the idea that they are "set apart" for something specific. Where does this concept of being different, being made for something different, come from for them? What do they have to give up in their pursuit of what they're "made for"?

The best description of "holy" I've heard came from an ex-rock star computer programmer of my acquaintance: "You don't use your toothbrush to scrub a toilet."

Your toothbrush is set apart for a specific use, so there are things you just don't use it for. Can the same be said of a person?
