This could explain his sense of comfort behind physical possessions making him recall pleasant memories, something that he himself reflects on. Īlthough he does not let it show much due to the aforementioned tendency to distance himself from them, BASIL misses his friends and has the wistful desire for things to go back to normal. From this, BASIL can be described as immensely selfless and loyal, doing everything he can to protect SUNNY from any harm no matter how much he hurts himself in the process. It can be noted that when BASIL grows deeply attached to someone, he can develop a strong sense of devotion and protectiveness toward them: his desire to protect SUNNY and their secret led him to go as far as to subject himself to the HOOLIGANS' bullying and deliberately withdraw from his friends for multiple years, the latter shown by how he never lets himself cry in front of others, always locking himself away in either his room or the bathroom. Due to being a witness to MARI's murder, it can be inferred that he suffers from guilt or worse, possibly in the form of SOMETHING. This more melancholy demeanor is most likely the result of a deep depression over the aftermath of MARI's death combined with AUBREY and her friends' bullying further whittling down his self-esteem. He doesn't learn to battle, although he eventually does with enough encouragement from his friends during the console-exclusive BASIL RUSH event.Ĭompared to HEADSPACE BASIL, his FARAWAY counterpart is more anxious and sensitive overall. It is noted that he avoids conflict due to his kind, sentimental demeanor. His empathy stretches to his plants as well, showing a lot of worries when they're in danger of being hurt, and talking to them as he would with his friends. BASIL notably shows great care to plant flowers with flower language, each one corresponding to how he sees his friends. He's very sentimental, keeping memorabilia of his friends and happy memories through photos, and planting flowers that remind him of his friends. BASIL is also quite friendly, and his shyness seems to stem from thinking lowly of himself and putting others' needs above his own.

He is quick to forgive, as shown with his encounter with BOSS after hide-and-seek, and is rather empathetic in nature. BASIL seems to develop strong emotional attachments to many of his possessions, as he will never throw away anything, no matter how worthless it is.īASIL's HEADSPACE counterpart is rather cheery, yet shy and humble. He also enjoys taking care of flowers, art, and reading. He enjoys taking pictures, as his memories with his friends are his most treasured belonging, perceiving them as a way to permanently capture the moment. He also appears shorter than most of his friends, being as tall if not shorter than SUNNY.īASIL is depicted as a relatively shy boy, well seen right after being introduced to the friend group, being rather insecure and fearing the thought of being perceived as a burden. He wears a green knitted sweater vest over a white button-up shirt, beige shorts, and black shoes, resembling the same clothes that SUNNY wears. In the real world, he has blond hair and has a single pink flower tucked behind his left ear. He wears knee-length denim overalls with a large pocket on the chest and a yellow button-up shirt under.

In HEADSPACE, BASIL is a medium-height boy with pale skin, teal eyes, mint green chin-length hair, and wears a purple-blue and pink flower crown.
