Portrait of Oswald Bastien

Oswald Bastien

One of the treasure-seeking siblings and often the narrator.

From "The Story of the Treasure Seekers" by Nesbit, E. (Edith)

Core Belief

"Oswald believes in the importance of family and helping others, albeit often in misguided ways. He thinks that good intentions are enough to excuse any mishaps."

Worldview

Oswald views the world as a stage for his own adventures. He sees opportunities for heroism and treasure-seeking everywhere, often overestimating his own abilities and the stakes involved.

Personality

Oswald is enthusiastic, imaginative, and somewhat prone to exaggeration. He sees himself as a leader and a noble character, often getting into scrapes due to his impulsive nature and desire for adventure.

In Their Own Words

"'I will be a bandit,' I said, 'and get money for them that way.'"
"'We must be brave,' I said."
"'I have a plan,' I said."
"'This is better than treasure-seeking,' I said."
