PROFILE

APPEARANCE

In the dream world, BASIL is a medium height boy with pale skin, teal eyes, teal chin-length hair, and he wears a purple, blue, and pink flower crown. He wears denim overalls with a large pocket on the chest and a white t-shirt under. He doesn't wear any shoes.

In the real world, he has blond-greenish hair that he has a single pink flower tucked into. he wears a grey knitted tank-top over a white t-shirt, beige shorts, and black shoes, the same clothes that SUNNY wears.

PERSONALITY

BASIL is shy and socially anxious but cares deeply about his friends. He enjoys taking pictures, caring for plants, art, and reading. It is said in the game that "He will never throw away anything, no matter how worthless it is." He is incredibly haunted by his and Sunny's actions after Mari's death, making him severely more anxious than he used to be.

DREAM WORLD

BASIL's DREAM WORLD counterpart is rather cheery, yet shy and humble. He is quick to forgive, as can be seen by his encounter with BOSS after hide-and-seek, and he is very empathetic. He is friendly, and his shyness seems to stem from having low self-esteem and putting others' needs above his own.

He is incredibly sentimental, keeping memorabilia of his friends and happy memories through photos, and planting flowers that remind him of his friends, taking great care to plant flowers that he associates with his friends. His empathy stretches to his plants as well, showing a lot of worry when they're in danger of being hurt, and talking to them as he would his friends. It is noted that he avoids conflict. He doesn't learn to battle, even after his friends nag him to.
