Basil Thornshield was born as the youngest child of the Fae Queen, but he did not receive the same attention and love from his mother as his sisters did. Instead, his eldest sister, Eponine, took on the responsibility of raising him. She taught him about the world, how to fight and defend himself, and instilled in him a sense of loyalty and duty.
Growing up, Basil was always playful and mischievous, often causing trouble and getting into fights with other fae children. Basil always felt like he didn't quite fit in with the rest of his family. He was often more interested in tinkering with machines and gadgets than in traditional fae activities. Despite this, he had a close relationship with his sisters and often played pranks on them, showing his playful side.
As he got older, Basil became increasingly brooding and distrustful, likely as a result of his early experiences with his neglectful mother. He found it difficult to trust others, and this made it hard for him to form deep connections with people outside of his immediate family. However, once he did form a bond with someone, he was fiercely loyal to them.
Despite his mother's neglect, Basil still loved her and looked up to her as the Fae Queen. He believed that she had a grand plan for the Fae Kingdom and was determined to do his part in serving her. However, as he grew older, he began to see the flaws in her rule and how she put her own ambitions before the well-being of her people.
Eventually, Basil decided to move to Creation Peaks to be closer to Eponine, who had taken up residence in the area. He opened up a mechanic shop there, where he could indulge his passion for tinkering with machines. Although he was still somewhat distant with others, he found a sense of fulfillment in his work and was able to form a small circle of friends in the town. Throughout his life, Basil has struggled with his identity and his place in the world. He yearns for the love and acceptance of his mother, but also recognizes the flaws in her rule.
As for his sexuality, Basil is openly bisexual, but he doesn't make a big deal out of it. He's never been one to conform to traditional gender roles, so it feels natural for him to be attracted to people of all genders.
