Backstory: Their father was an ab*sive alc*h*lic and they never knew their mother. They were ab*sed daily and.. Well, that still slips into their behavior currently. They will flinch, shake, and put themself in a defensive position whenever they feel threatened or scared. They used the Dark World around 3 years ago to escape their father, and figured out how to use their SOUL rather quickly without any help. They made themself a body to possess that fit in better, that monsters wouldn’t attack.. which was powered off and automatically deleted 9 months after creation. They have a lot of bad habits for coping, like sm*king and s*lf h*rm. They are 12, so they can’t exactly buy c*gar*ttes, so they steal them. Their personal favorite is menth*l c*gar*ttes, they like mint quite a lot. Speaking of mint.. Would you like a mint milkshake? They had to work at a diner and bar in order to support themself, which is where they learned that, and had to fake their age at 9. The main thing that was ordered at the diner was mint milkshakes. They were always told they made the best ones, and sometimes they would try making other flavors for themself, but stuck to mint. Their dad refused to feed them, so they always seemed to resort to fast food or things that really shouldn’t be eaten. For example, flowers. Whole flowers. They always cough them up bl**dy a few hours later, they don’t know why, it just happens. They can’t be p*is*ned by flowers, though. It seems weird for a 12 year old to feel the need to eat anything to survive and not complain, but that’s just how they survived.

As you can tell, I have a small obsession of giving my characters trauma.. some trauma even relatable. TW for the lyrics in the new design's costumes the changes aren't because of anything specific: i just want basil to have a design change that resembles an old oc of mine
