P H Y S I C A L . DESCRIPTION 𝕭asil is a rather small boy, 4'10" and thin to match. He doesn't look similar to his family's common appearance of tall, blond hair, and blue eyes, rather he has brown hair that is slightly curly, hazel eyes surrounded by long eyelashes, and warm olive skin. He wears comfortable sweaters and blazers, that always look a bit more like they belong on a sixty-five-year-old librarian than a thirteen-year-old boy, and the big wire-framed glasses he wears complete the look.

M E N T A L . DESCRIPTION

......................................

𝕭asil is incredibly shy and quiet. Used to the quiet company (or lack thereof) of homeschooling, libraries, and high society, the excitement of Ilvermorny or the rest of the outside world has the boy hiding behind whatever he can. Whether that be a book, family member, or even a reasonably tall hedge. He's kind-hearted to a fault, and very academically inclined, but incredibly sheltered due to his upbringing. He doesn't know any better, so he's afraid of the so-called "abnormal", a.k.a the half-breeds, halfbloods, or even muggleborns of the world. All because of the stories his grandmother tells him not of their evil doing, but rather of the terrible life they are doomed to suffer. She is always warning him not to let them rub off on him lest he suffer the same fate, ostracized from the "right" kind of society. Just about the only thing that can get him out of his shell is his incredible fascination with dragons.

Basil was born December 17th 2010, and belongs to the Blackwood family, an elitist pureblooded family that lives in the southern United States where they own a large estate. They are an old family, with their claim to fortune coming from a long history in the ebony wood trade business. They specialize in wand wood, but since that sort of quality wood is rare and far between, they have spent the generations selling the leftover iconic dark colored wood to wizards and witches (and a few muggles when money was tight) around the world.

Coming from this family of old money is quite isolating for a young boy, especially one as shy as Basil by nature. He spends most of his time in the estate with his grandmother, Elaine Blackwood, and his fathers, Alexander Blackwood and Jonathon Blackwood. Elaine is a severe woman, with a firm view on what is right and wrong and what is to be expected from every member of the family. While that may sound cruel, she did truly love every member of her household, and never held back when buying gifts, mostly in the form of books and magical pets for her grandchild, despite her strict nature. His Dad, Jon, came from another pureblood family and works as a bookkeeper for MACUSA. His father Alexander is in charge of inheriting the estate, and the two spent most of their time around the house together reading and learning. His dad Jon is an eccentric man, antisocial at the best of times, but loving with those he cares about. His father Alexander on the other hand is very affectionate and has a habit of caring for anyone or anything he can.

B A C K S T O R Y His biological mother is a surrogate from a pureblood family of similar status, but she has never been very present in his life, and he has no interest in her beyond the distant curiosity of a blood relation. He would very rarely hear of his aunt, a woman named Margaret. His grandmother was adamant that she was living a terrible life in England, stuck with no fortune on a small farm with a Muggleborn wife and a daughter attending Hogwarts named Tesla Stone (see: Tesla's family mentioned here). She'd tell him this was the true curse of lycanthropy and dirtied blood- a lonely existence struggling simply to survive.

This of course made him hesitant to reach out and explore the world, afraid of being cursed like his aunt. Instead, he preferred to spend his time in the house with his fascinating encyclopedias on dragons and hippogriffs and all manner of creatures. He didn't have many friends growing up, so his closest companions were his pets and his family. His first instance of magic was when everyone in the house was attending to business and he was left alone for a few hours, without more than a nanny to check in on him every now and then.The seven-year-old grew so bored that his wooden model of a dragon came to life and flew around the room, causing the whole house to come investigate the source of the delighted laughing and screaming from the normally quiet boy.

Hornet... ...Serpents.

He attended Ilvermorny starting September 2022, where he remained quiet and withdrawn; shy and antisocial. He was chosen to be in the Horned Serpent house, which he was overjoyed about, seeing as it strongly resembles a dragon and Basil thought that was very cool.
