If so, he also has his alternate outfit on the left, or he sometimes wears just a black shirt and tattered blue pants. The staff he carries with him is something that was passed down in his family from his mother and father to him as a guardian. It is supposedly supposed to harness and help him train his elements that were passed from his mother.

History: Eiji grew up with his brother Riku in the city of Laviti and they've been inseparable since their father (Seiji Hara) passed away from disease (at around 8) and their mother (Fumi Hara) abandoned them (happened soon after his death). He received his element a little later than his brother, around the age of 13, though he always had an affinity for plants. Their mother had owned and managed a temple for the goddess that their race believes created them and introduced them to the world. After she disappeared, they started taking care of the temple themselves. People had always supported it, but as they grew older and people found out their mother had passed away, they stopped donating, so the twins had no means of income as children. Eiji continues to try and convince people to donate to the city, and has made some friends along the way that sometimes chip in the help with taking care of the temple and donate bits of money or food to the brothers. The younger brother usually cleans up the temple and prays, hoping that the goddess might answer their prays in some way soon. Once he reached the age of 18, he finally took over the role as "guardian" of the temple and his fellow single form shapeshifters around the city, inheriting the ceremonial clothes he currently wears and the staff he uses. He and his brother tend to keep in touch with a stray few shapeshifters in the city, but other than that they tend to spend a lot of alone time at the temple. Riku usually strays away when he gets bored or wants something to do and goes into the city or the forest while Eiji tends to spend a lot of his time cleaning up their temple to the goddess and planting flowers/caring for a garden in the forest nearby.
