-Neil is perceptive, which is necessary for life on the run. When Andrew picks him up from the airport posing as Aaron, he quickly realizes that it is not really Aaron and that he is not taking his prescribed medication. -Neil doesn't trust middle-aged men because they remind him of his father, whom he fears. So Coach Wymack scares him at first, although he promises Neil that he will never hurt him. -Neil doesn't trust other people. He doesn't accept their offers of help and tries to solve every problem on his own, which makes him withdrawn and secretive. Neil also tries to constantly control the situation. -Neil is almost as obsessed with Exy as Kevin, despite having to stay away from him for most of his life. This obsession drives him to risk everything to play for the Foxes. -He doesn't avoid a fight, although in the form of "Neil Josten" he wouldn't start one. -Neil has a hot temper, which he got from his father.

A short and athletic young man. Before entering university, Neil dyed his hair black and wore brown contact lenses to disguise his identity and blend in. His natural hair color is red, and his true eye color is a cool shade of blue. It has been noted several times that he greatly resembles his father, to the point that he cannot even look at his reflection without feeling sick. Neil's body is heavily scarred from abuse and injuries inflicted on him by his father, as well as from his time on the run. He gains additional scars while living with his father, as well as burn marks on his left cheekbone and arms. His wardrobe consists mostly of worn-out, basic clothing items such as t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers. He has no particular sense of style, valuing practicality above all else, and chooses his clothes based on their ability to hide his scars and make him blend in with the crowd, becoming a "gray shadow."

-Neil has the key to the Foxes' stadium. -Sometimes he goes to the library to use the computer. -Neil loves to run and is the fastest player in Exie's Class 1, running a mile in four minutes. -Because he enrolled so late, Neil missed the early registration period for athletes and had to register with the other freshmen in August. -Neil initially decided to study Spanish because languages ​​are useful on the run and he had no intention of staying in Palmetto, planning to go to Mexico if he found his situation too risky to continue here. Later, in his sophomore year, Neil changed his major to mathematical sciences. -While Neil keeps Stuart's emergency phone number in a folder, he hopes he never has to use it because then he'd just be turning to another crime family, which would mean escaping from one into the clutches of another. -He is good at picking locks. He inherited his skills from his mother. -Neil speaks French and German. To explain why he speaks French, he lies to Nicky that his mother is French, and he keeps silent about German. -Neil does not take drugs or drink alcohol, fearing that he might reveal something about himself while intoxicated. As a result, he has a very low tolerance for them. -He knows Matt's mobile phone number by heart. Neil once hitchhiked from New Mexico to Phoenix with various truckers. He pretended to be a sociologist conducting a survey. -Neil doesn't like sweets and prefers fruits to vegetables. Neil's favorite color is gray. Due to his life on the run, Neil had never been to Exie Stadium on a game night until he joined the Foxes. After Andrew's car was damaged, Neil used much of the blood money his mother stole to buy a Maserati. "Neil doesn't like baseball," he told the agent at the hospital in King's Suite.

-Neil smokes sometimes, but more often he lights a cigarette and lets it burn itself out. The smell of smoke reminds him of his mother, which is both comforting and painful. -Before Neil moves to Palmetto, all of his belongings fit into a bag, including the folder, so Neil either locks it in a safe, with a key, or takes it with him. -When Neil was on the run, he kept an elaborate folder full of newspaper articles about Kevin and Rico's careers, hiding important data under the guise of fanaticism. The folder also contains cash, emergency contacts, addresses of cash stashes, a fake note from an eye doctor to buy contact lenses (as well as a box of brown contacts), and the phone number of his uncle, Stuart. The amount of money is approximately $250,000, one-quarter of what his mother originally stole from his father. -To protect his folder in his dorm room, Neil buys a small safe on his first day at Fox Tower. -He wears old and unremarkable clothes to blend in and not be noticed. They are pale and faded, with frayed hems, and because of this, he was previously compared to street trash. When he starts at Palmetto, he has exactly 8 outfits. -Due to the extensive scars on his torso, Neil does not change clothes or shower in front of other people. To put on his gear, he goes into a toilet stall and changes there. -Every morning, when he wakes up, Neil gives himself 2 minutes to relearn how to breathe, calculate his next step and “talk” to his fear. -During summer training, Neil rides Matt's car to training with the others. -Afterwards, he runs back to Fox Tower. The others accept this and don't wait for him. When the semester starts, Neil rides in Matt's truck to save time. -Neil and Kevin train every weekday except Friday, from ten until whatever time Kevin deems appropriate (usually until midnight or later).

Family: Nathan Wesninski (father) Mary Hatford (mother) Stuart Hatford (uncle) Friendly: "Foxes"

Name: Nathan Wesninsky; Residence: Baltimore, Maryland; Nathan Wesninsky was Neil's father. He was a criminal based in Baltimore, known as the "Baltimore Butcher"; Occupation: Nathan secretly worked for the Moriyama family and was Kengo's right hand man. His territory is the eastern ports, his western border is West Virginia; Nathan Wesninsky was married to Mary Hatford. After his son attended the Ravens' internship and Tetsuji approved of Nathaniel, she stole $5 million and ran away with him. The Butcher chased them for 8 years; Appearance: Identical to Neil, but without scars and burns. Status: Neil's father and head of their family's mafia structure

Name: Mary Hatford, Natalia Vesninsky; Age: 38; Residence: Baltimore, Maryland (before escape); Has a brother: Stuart Hatford; Personality: She is patient, a trait that Neil did not inherit. However, he did inherit her paranoia and short stature.

The only time Neil remembers her smiling is during his little league Exies, but she hated his infatuation with Exies and told him to watch him from afar. Since Neil speaks several languages ​​due to his life on the run, it can be assumed that Mary also spoke languages. She also has enough medical knowledge to be able to clean wounds and apply stitches. She knows how to use a gun; She is British and her family are gangsters. Her brother is called Stuart and he is also a criminal. Stuart and Mary were close as Stuart always cared and worried about his sister. He also gave her a list of emergency contacts, mostly outside the US, when she ran away from her husband. Little is said about her life as Nathan's wife, but it is clear that she had no power over him in regards to his methods and did not interfere with the harm that came to Neil. It is implied that their marriage was due to Mary's connections to the Hatfords, and Nathan, being a Wesninsky, is connected to the Moriyamas (as Stuart can easily associate with the main branch of the Moriyama family); Appearance: A beautiful woman with a striking, memorable appearance. She had dark hair and blue eyes, which Neil inherited from her. She probably had Slavic features, as she came from Russia. Unlike the secretive and withdrawn Nil, Natasha had a strong and determined character, which was reflected in her gaze and demeanor. Even on the run, she remained collected and strong-willed, despite her fear of her husband, Abram Moryakov. On the outside, she looked well-groomed and elegant until life on the run changed her. Over time, her face became more haggard and tense, especially when she was trying to protect her son from persecution. Status: Neil's mom

Mary is extremely protective of Neil. Before going on the run, Mary allowed Neil to participate in the trials with Rico and Kevin. If the Butcher's son failed the trials and was not deemed worthy, he would be executed. Mary did not want to risk Neil's failure and decided on the night Neil saw his father dismember a man, before the second trial and its results, to escape. During the escape, she protected Neil, making sure he knew their names and the cities they lived in. Due to her paranoia, she always made Neil sleep in the same bed with her, back to back, with a gun under his pillow. If she caught Neil interested in and/or talking to girls, she would beat him.

Neil kept two of her lock picks. She taught him how many places he could shoot before killing someone. They had phones to contact each other, and Mary probably used her phone to contact the right people. After Neil saw his father kill a man, she took $5 million and ran away with Neil. She was the one who decided where they would go and what names/lives they would take. Her connections were sometimes perceived as unfavorable by Neil.

A year before the events of the books, Mary died while they were driving along the Pacific coast of California. This happened after meeting his father in Seattle. She was hit with a pipe and began bleeding internally. Afterwards, they fled through Oregon to California, where she made Neil repeat every promise he had ever made to her, and then died in their car. Neil took their things and then burned her body to ashes in the car. Afterwards, Neil took her bones, put them in a backpack, and buried them in the sand.

Name: Stuart Hatford; Age: 42; Occupation: Member of a criminal British family; Appearance: A tall and thin man with an unremarkable appearance, which helps him remain unnoticed. He has short blond hair and blue eyes, like Neil, but without the expressiveness that his nephew has. He looks haggard and aged, despite his age. His face is drawn, with a shadow of constant tension, reflecting his life of fear and attempts to survive. Overall, his appearance is unremarkable, but his behavior is abrupt, irritable and distant, making him unpleasant to deal with; Status: Neil's Uncle

The Foxes have a reputation for being mentally unstable and are the laughing stock of the nation.

The Foxes train on the Fox Hole court and in the gym. They live on the third floor of the Fox Tower, a dormitory for athletes.

He is known for his brutality both on and off the field, a trait attributed to his unstable upbringing in foster care, a stint in a juvenile detention center, and mania caused by court-prescribed antidepressants; While on antidepressants, Andrew was unpredictable and suffered from an addiction to the pills. He was aggressive and sarcastic, and quite talkative than after rehab. Often, his seniors referred to him as a psycho/sociopath. Soon after rehab and getting off the pills, his true character begins to show. Due to a difficult life since childhood, Andrew has become emotionless, silent, and pessimistic. He has strict personal values ​​and is completely protective of the people he cares about: his twin brother Aaron, cousin Nicky, close friend Neil, and a few others he deems worthy. Despite these feelings, on the surface, he cares little for his own life. Canonically, Andrew has manic depression, or, in other words, bipolar affective disorder. Moreover, he has more deep downs than ups. But despite his difficult character, Andrew loves cute toys that help him calm down and escape from his cruel life; Status: Neil's Friend

With blond hair, pale skin, and brown eyes with a golden tint, he always wears black bandages on his forearms that extend from his wrists to his elbows. Rumor has it that they are a sarcastic attempt for others to differentiate Andrew from his twin, Aaron. In reality, he hides scars on his wrists from years of self-harm, as well as a convenient sheath for his knives. At 5'1", with his goalie stick taller than him, he "doesn't look like much of a dangerous person", but most Foxes consider him a man to be feared.

Matt developed cocaine and heroin addictions, which Randi later discovered and helped him rehabilitate. During this time, they became very close, and she introduced him to boxing and Exy as an alternative to drugs. In Palmetto, Matt finds it hard to stay clean again.

Name: David Vincent Wymack; Nickname: Father of Foxes; Age: 40 years; Affiliation: Occupation: Trainer for the Palmettos Foxes; Place of residence: South Carolina, Washington (hometown); Exi characteristics: Team: Palmetto Foxes; Position: Trainer; Relationships: Family: Kevin Day (son); Romantic: Abby Winfield (rumored) Kaylee Day (former love interest); Appearance: Wymack is a large man with flame tattoos. He has brown eyes and often wears a white sweater and jeans; Life: Wymack was friends with Kaylee Day. They had sex once, and it was during that time that Kevin was conceived. Kaylee taught Wymack how to play Exy. After her death, Wymack kept in touch with Kevin, despite not knowing that Kevin is his son.

A couple of years ago, he injured his hip and was prescribed painkillers. During his therapy, he met Abby and was even able to find her a job as a nurse for the Foxes. The team is split about 50-50 - some think there is something between them, and some, on the contrary, do not; Personality: Coach Wymack founded the Foxes to give people from difficult backgrounds a second chance. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a PR stunt. For this, Wymack is considered an idealist. To ensure the safety of his players, he goes beyond what a coach should do, even temporarily housing some of the players in his or Abby's apartment. He is protective of them and offers to help Neil if the cousins ​​and Kevin cause too much trouble, but generally stays out of the team's personal affairs. At the Exy Winter Banquet, a year before the events of the main trilogy, Kevin went to Wymack's hotel room when he broke his arm. He asked Abby to set it and brought him back to Palmetto; Habits: Coach Wymack does not lock his door when he is inside, a habit that Neil finds annoying. When Wymak is too lazy to cook, he calls Abby to do it for him;

Wymak allows the Foxes to determine their own hierarchy. Instead of interfering in their fights, he only assigns them more grueling training as punishment afterward.

To make the team behave well, he threatens them to run a lap or even a marathon. Sometimes he also threatens to leave the team members behind if they are slow, for example, when boarding the bus, but these are just empty threats, and everyone knows it.

Wymack constantly tells his teammates not to overexert themselves on the court, especially if they are injured. He would rather lose a game than take a player out for future games.

This isn't a magical world. The world is a threat. Neil is used to seeing potential enemies in people and always expects the worst. Trusting anyone is deadly dangerous. Rules don't protect, they restrict. Laws and social norms are meaningless to him because he has always lived outside of them. Escape is the only way out. He knows how to change identities, hide, forge documents, and find temporary shelters. Money solves many problems. His mother taught him to steal, cheat, and save, because without money he is helpless. A normal life is an unattainable luxury. He has seen how others live, but doesn't believe stability, education, or a future are within his reach.

Long-term relationships. He never had friends, let alone trust or affection. How to be part of something. Team dynamics, caring for others, a sense of belonging – all of that is foreign to him. How to live without fear. He can't imagine what it means not to expect pursuit or violence.
