Likes: PLANTS, HIS FRIENDS, BEING KIND, READING, STRAWBERRIES, TOFU, SUNNY, TAKING PHOTOS
Dislikes: SOMETHING, FIGHTING, ANXIETY, BEING ALONE, THE DARK. BASIL is a gentle soul and would rather tend to his plants than fight. He holds many things in his life dear, especially his friends. His favorite pastime is photographing their candid moments together. he has blond hair and has a single pink flower tucked behind his left ear. He sports a green knitted sweater vest over a white button-up shirt, accompanied by beige shorts and black shoes, resembling the same clothes that SUNNY wears. He also appears shorter than most of his friends, being as tall if not shorter than SUNNY. BASIL 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 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 enjoys taking care of flowers, art, and reading. 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. Compared to HEADSPACE BASIL, his FARAWAY counterpart is more anxious and sensitive overall. 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. 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. 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.
