Basil is very hated by his town. Since he was very young, all of his family was victim of gossip due his mother’s numerous boyfriends and husbands and after Violetta’s death and him being a suspect, the hate focused on him and he did nothing to clear it, instead, he would become the face of trouble; telling horrific stories to children, leaving inverse pentagrams painted at abandoned places, making crude comments about everyone and... briefly dating the mayor’s daughter among others.
Basil cried a lot when he was around seven years old, he was just as sensitive as his twin sister Victoria, but when she started to get bullied as well, he Wonder-Womanned-up and started burying his feelings to defend her.
He suffered from ADHD which caused his disperse mind.
He decided to study medicine to study the human body and mind and because as a doctor, he could have control over people’s lives and control is something he really likes.
He is not a cheerful person, but aside of Victoria, Sutton Holloway is the only person who has made him laugh in a long time. It was just once and he promised himself it wouldn’t happen again (yeah, right).
He’s good at ballroom dancing. Victoria and Vanessa forced him and the oldest sibling Bernie to take classes; their grandmother (from their mother’s side) was a showgirl and Vanessa and Basil seemed the only ones to get the dancing gene. Nobody knows this. Nobody shall ever know.
Most of his outfits include jeans, shirt, flannel and jacket.
He’s prefers to improvise and go with the flow than to make a plan.
He is very adventurous, but one of the things he wouldn’t do would be to take a ship into open sea, he is more of a land kind of guy.
New York has softened him a lot in different aspects (although he hasn’t realized yet). He has made some friends and started to show tolerance towards people, although he dismisses it as common courtesy.
He’s not a touchy person although hand contact is very important to him. His siblings, specially Tori, used to hold his hand as reassurance. He is like a small angry animal, if he really REALLY trusts you, he will let you at least nudge him. Otherwise, touch him and you risk losing your hand.
