Basil is depicted as a relatively shy and socially anxious boy, being very insecure and fearing 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 have strong emotional attachments to many of his possessions, as he will never throw them away no matter how worthless they are.
