Basil is a highschool bully in the "eat or be eaten" type of way. To protect himself from becoming a target of bullying like he had years prior, he's become a bully.

He was bullied in his childhood, and ended up in the school nurse's office a lot, the school nurse was his aunt who treated him with kindness and gave him candies after treating his wounds. When he started highschool he didn't have his aunt to protect him anymore, and so he quickly brought up walls and started hanging around the wrong crowd in order to protect himself. In his anger at himself, he wished deeply to become a person similar to his aunt, someone who can protect and care for the hurt, someone who can give them a snack to cheer them up, and his wish was granted in a way. He became a happy-go-lucky magical boy who's main weapon is candy shaped medicine. His magical boy name is Sparklepuff Sunset.
