Personality:

Sebastian, or Seb, is a kind, caring little cutie with simple dreams and big ideas. He loves his family and always wants to help others. Sebastian tends to be a little bit vain about his hair, but only his hair, not his fur. His chest fur and tail floof are often snarled and tangled, and he's quite disorganized and clumsy, and he is definitely an extrovert.

Not many people outside of Seb's family know about his PPS condition, and everyone always tell him that he's going to be a ladies man. Little do they know, that is what he regrets the most. Sebastian's greatest dream was to fall in love someday. He'd wanted to grow up, party, be part of a family... but unless he can be cured, that's not going to happen, thus, he has a really negative feeling about being PPS.

Seb loves to garden. It was only a hobby, until around 18 years old, when he realized that it was going to be really difficult to get a job as a news reporter like he'd wanted. After that, it became his job. Since he can't get married and such, he still lives w/ his father, Coda. Coda will often go out to lunch with Seb during his lunch hour and their favorite place to go is the cafe on the street where Seb sets up his flower stand. Sebastian sells flowers for a living, and he's good at it. Everyone seems to want to buy flowers from a "sweet young viscling" so he takes advantage of that. He is almost always eating, thus, the burger in the picture. It was a habit that started after he first found out about the disadvantages of his PPS condition. He kept eating in the hopes of proving the doctor wrong, but no matter what he did, he couldn't grow. He exercises enough that he doesn't get fat, but no matter how hard he tries he can't get muscled either. He still retains the small, lanky body of a ten year old viscet.

Relationships:

Coda has always been really supportive of Sebastian, and they're really close. Even though he was surprised by his ex girlfriend with a child that was abandoned on his doorstep, he never once thought of giving him up for adoption. Coda has always been Sebastian's Confidant and ho he goes to for advice. Coda tends to be a bit overprotective at times, but he always means well. Coda loves to play with Seb, particularly baseball. Viscet baseball is a bit different, of course. Well, viscet baseball doesn't exist, though Coda and Seb modified the game after watching some humans play. Viscet baseball consists of flicking the head up in the air or sideways to toss or throw the rubber ball, and batting at it with the tail to either redirect a throw or hit the ball. Also, since Viscets are made for running, any field is about twice as big. Coda and Seb normally just play catch, but baseball games are a favorite family past time.

Dakota and Sebastian have the typical brother sister relationship. They tease each other, and though his older sister is mature, Seb, for obvious reasons, isn't. This means he's always climbing all over her. His comfort place is literally lying on her back with his head between her ears. Dakota doesn't mind one bit, and she is an amazing comfort to him. Even though Coda is Seb's confidant, Dakota is his go to viscet when he's upset and needs to vent. The venting all started when he was diagnosed, and has continued since. Since Seb's mother isn't in the picture, his half sister acts in that role for him, but yet she teases him all the time. She takes on whichever role is needed at the moment.

Elly is considered his "little sister" even though she's actually older than him, but he protects her, lets her help in his garden even though she tramples the flowers, and often gives her vases of flowers for her room. She's also the only one he'll share his food with. She helped him find a bit of peace with his PPS condition and learn to be happy with himself after learning that he'd never be a news reporter. Elly was happy to be a child forever, and she taught Sebastian how to take advantage of the perks and have fun.

Shimo, Seb's brother, is his idol. Though he'll never be like the party play boy, he admires his brother and wants to be exactly like him. He did even before he was diagnosed with PPS, and it crushed his heart to know he'd never get the chance. Instead of bragging to the kid, Shimo let him come along to some of his parties, keeping him close the whole time, and also taught him how to play video games. The one thing that absolutely baffles Shimo about Seb is his love of flowers. Shimo is a boy all the way, whereas Seb can act a bit girly at times. Shimo just can't understand Sebastian's fascination with the plants. Little does he know, it's not the actual flowers Seb loves, but the colors, which he's addicted to.

Hobbies:

Now, gardening isn't the only thing Sebastian likes to do, though it does occupy at least 50% of his time, what with watering the flowers, weeding the plots, planting the new seeds for each flower he cuts... Anyway, Seb also likes to paint! He mostly like painting sunsets and sunrises as well as flowers... It's the colors! Sebastian is fascinated with colors, and he loves to blend them! He does sell some paintings on occasion, but mostly he just decorates his room with canvases full of colors. He will draw and sketch on occasion too, but he almost always paints them afterwards to see the vibrant colors.

We may as well elaborate on the gardening skills he has as long as we're here. Seb has always loved flowers. From the time he could walk he loved them. That love started out as loving the flavor of them... Coda was constantly snatching small dandelions or other wildflowers from the paws of the small Sebastian as he tried, sometimes successfully, to shove the in his mouth. Of course, these days he appreciates their vibrant colors and collects rare pressed flowers in his Flower Almanac. For his birthday one year, his father got him a picture album and a flower press. He grows and presses them all himself, and has made it his ultimate goal to collect as many flowers as possible. His whole family knows not to enter his greenhouse without permission, or to touch that Almanac if they value their fur. Seb may not be able to do damage to his siblings actual body, but he sure can pull out a chunk of hair or two...

So painting, gardening... what else? Oh, right! I did mention Viscet Baseball, didn't I? Well, that would be Seb's favorite and only sport. He loves to run, and this game became an outlet for the energy that gathers while he patiently waters his flowers. He may be small, but he's harder to tag and also faster than most. He can't hit a ball as far as the others, nor stretch his arms out to catch a ball, but he makes up for this with his speed and high jumps. Overall, playing viscet baseball helps him forget that he's different than everyone else.

Favorites:

Food - Well, Seb loves food in general, but his favorite foods are chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, chocolate bars... Basically anything chocolate. He's especially fond of chocolate covered fruit, as he feels that the variety in the flavor makes it all the more delicious.

Drink - Chocolate milk or hot chocolate... Hehe!

Scent - Lemon mixed with mint... He tested it once and it smelled amazing!

Color - Now, we know how obsessed Sebastian is with colors... but he'd have to say his favorite is super ultra neon green. It can't be yellow though... It has to be green. Lime green is good.

Fruit - Akai Berries. They taste the best when coated in chocolate.

Song - He loves anything by Oh Wonder. They inspire all his best paintings and really set a great ambience in his greenhouse. They're just so beautiful!

Class - When he was in school, he always loved his drama/theater class because it was so fun! He spent the whole time just being creative and being himself!

Number - 16; It's how old he wants to be at some point!

Quote - "Happiness is like jam. You can't spread even a little without getting some on yourself!"
Seb loves to give because being generous and seeing the smiles on people's faces makes him happy, so he can relate to this quote in a million different ways!

Season - Spring! It's when the flowers bloom best!

Place - Duh! On top of Dakota's head!

Memory -
Seb lay curled up by his dad's side, soaking in the warm sunlight. As a small amount of noise caught his attention, he turned his head to look. When he noticed some humans playing a game, he sat up to watch. Fascinated, he watched as the white sphere flew from corner to corner of the invisible diamond marked only by 4 white pads. Standing up and padding a bit closer, he watched as they swung a stick at the sphere and it flew across the field.
"That's called baseball. It's a human game," His dad informed from behind him.
"How do they do that? You know, fling the ball across the field?" Sebastian asked in awe, still awestruck by the flying white ball. His dad just chuckled.
"Why don't we get a rubber ball and try to figure that out?" He suggested, winking at his son. Sebastian nodded eagerly before going off to get his favorite ball.
