Name: Basil Charbonneau
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Major: Political Science with a minor in Creative writing
Personality: To start off, Basil is sort of a happy virus. If you were to summarize his personality, he's a benevolent charismatic young man. He has a habit of smiling and laughing too much around other people. Even alone, you can see that beam on his face. The young lad practically thrives off of any interaction with someone. One of his favorite things to do is have conversations with someone. Aside from talking, the lad loves cuddles, kisses, and all of that. He tends to be very affectionate towards close friends and possible crushes. Basil likes to ponder on certain matters although it can lead him to having self-critical dark thoughts. He keeps so much of his own inner thoughts to himself then ignores them by being too much of a soft-heart and selfless.
Appearance: Basil is a pretty skinny person. He stands at 5'9 (175.2 cm) and weighs around 135 pounds (61.4 kg). His body shape is ecto-mesomorphic. There some muscle tone to it although it's not a lot. Upper part of his lip is skinny while the lower is heavier. His skin tone is very fair, it makes him look like a vampire at times. He has nut brown colored monolid eyes. Typically, Basil styles his dark brown hair neatly with it being parted in the middle. Sometimes he'll put it up in a tiny ponytail to keep it out of his face. Basil likes to wear white dress shirts, suit vests, black dress or high waist pants, and loafer shoes. He has an over sized coat that he loves. On his finger is an opal ring that used to be his mother's. Basil isn't really an accessories type of person so it's either the ring or a silver cross necklace with his birthday engraved on the back. He also has a satchel that he carries around a lot.
Fears: Not fitting in is his probably his biggest fear; he always feels like he's unusual and out of place. There's also his fear of heights, snakes, and being alone (especially in the dark during night).
Likes: Fencing, football (soccer), classical literature, dancing and singing, cats, fashion, spending time with others, and social gatherings (especially parties)
Dislikes: Waking up early, snakes, being teased, alone or pushed away, bigotry, and anyone that bullies others
Backstory: Basil was born in Korea but his birth parents abandoned him for an unknown reason. At six months, he was adopted by a famous wealthy French couple and that's where the adventure begins! His adoptive parents already have a biological son and daughter, yet they always wanted to adopt. Misses Charbonneau named him "Basil" since it meant "king" in Greek and also after one of her favorite book characters too. From the start, Basil was an energetic ball of sugar. He spent a lot of his childhood playing outside, being with his family, acting in his made up plays, and watching the parties/gatherings his parents would throw parties.
Other: He likes to make gifts for people like desserts or a poem. English is his second language, he also knows French (obviously), Korean, and a little bit of Spanish/Italian. On the side note, Basil likes to do make up and paint nails time to time.

(Hope he's okay, definitely open to critique)

Autumn wind rustled through the trees and Kai's hair as he shoved his hands into his coat pockets. The day was still warm; the sun shone brightly through the deep blue sky, warming the breeze, but the hint of coolness in the air reminded him that summer was over. He headed for his first class –an Honors class that he and his friends had enrolled in together. They were the only people in the class, which wasn't much of a surprise, since the Honors classes were so small.

He turned into the large Honors building, made of old cobblestone arches and heavy wooden doors, and headed into the classroom.

(Do we have something to call the school? Like…somethingy University or something?)

(hmm idk how about a flower? like Abelia University)

Autumn felt the other students staring at her as she made her way toward the Honors building. To them, she was 'the foster kid.' She was used to it though. She shot a glare at a group of older boys as they whispered to each other. At least she got to spend her first year at Abelia University with the few friends she had.

On the way to class, Basil stopped on the cobblestone path as the wind glided across him. Not wanting his hair to get messy this early in the day, he opened up his satchel and put on his ebony beret. Wind was always something welcoming as the seasons changed; it always lead the leaves to fall down from trees or make little blossoms sway from side to side. The leaves in Abelia have only just started descending to the ground. Ah, they look so pretty in early autumn.

His dark eyes caught a glimpse of a dark crimson leaf sitting next to his foot. Basil couldn't help but smile as he picked it up. Holding it by the petiole, he went back to walking over to his first class. Even with six hours of sleep, the young man couldn't help the huge gleam on his face. Who else gets to have a class with their good friends?

As he was approached the entrance of the Honors building, he quickly took off his beret and stuffed it inside his satchel. Then he tucked a notebook under his arm before going inside. Basil made sure his steps were quiet as he entered the classroom.
