(Really old writing, pardon)
He would never hurt anything on purpose, even if it was attacking him. He hates seeing things in pain and would never want to be behind that pain. When handling creatures or anything else he moves slowly so that he doesn't drop them or hurt them in any shape or form. He would never forgive himself if something experienced pain and it was his fault.
As mentioned before, Basim hates pain. He is very sensitive to it and tries to avoid it at all costs. When he's out walking he will constantly examine the ground to make sure there are not thorns or rocks where he's about to step. He doesn't often do the risky things the other kias do such as climb trees and play chasing games.
He's subject to mood swings! He can quickly go from a cheerful mood to cowering on the ground as if hiding from something. This causes him to become very upset at times and rarely, angry. There is no good reason behind these mood swings half of the time and they often don't have any warning.
Easily offended or hurt even though he tries to hide his sensitivity from others. It's not hard to get him close to tears if you push all the right buttons. This makes him an easy target for teasing and bullying. Being a pacifist, he won’t lash out at the offenders and it takes a very long time to makes him mad. He often just has to sit there and take it like an older person is expected to do.
A sort of awareness resides in him, allowing him to 'sense' when others are in danger or hurt. This sense pulls on him constantly, making him hurry to the rescue of the poor creature. Sometimes it's hard for him to sleep, his awareness tugging at him, urging him to go help whatever it is that's gotten into trouble now. If one of his close friends or someone he knows well hurt themselves he will feel the pain as real as if it were his own.
Since he is subject to bullying, he is quite insecure and self-conscious. He has a slight fear of what others think of him that he can't seem to squelch. This can make him skittery and nervous when others try to talk to him. His friends try to assure him what others think doesn't matter, but he can't shake the insecurity, no matter how hard he tries.
Basim loves art, drawing especially. He often draws with a claw in the dirt, creating intricate sketches made of mud. He draws on whatever he can whenever possible. He finds it calming and sometimes he falls asleep while still drawing. He's not a perfectionist and is almost always pleased by his work. His creative abilities aren't limited to sketching, though. He will also sculpt out of mud and clay, paint with berries and other plant matter, and many other forms of art. Sketching is often the easiest thing to do as it requires no other materials, so that is what he is seen doing most often.
He has a way with words that are always soft and flowing, so he has no trouble comforting others. He always knows just the right thing to say to calm stress even if the species isn't his own. A sharp word hardly ever comes out of his mouth, as he tries only to comfort and not to harm.
His voice often cracks
Sighs to calm himself
Trusts others very easily
Can sense others emotions
He flutters his ears when embarrassed or very happy
