· In the mornings, he is always the first to go out to the parade ground to do exercises, even if his unit is not on duty that day. · Constantly chews something: an apple, an energy bar, crackers. Spends a lot of energy, and it needs to be replenished. · During a conversation, he often squints, especially in the sun, which makes his gaze seem even more attentive and slightly mocking. · Unconsciously taps the whistle on his palm, thinking about something. · Makes an evening walk around the area before lights out - this is his personal ritual to check that everyone is comfortable and everything is calm. · He always has a supply of band-aids and candy in his pocket for an upset child.

Name: Elijah

Age: 23 years

Job: Senior counselor (shift leader) in the senior squad of the summer camp. Responsible for organizing large events, sports games and hikes. Has been working at the camp for the 5th summer in a row.

Character: At first glance, he seems serious, even a little stern - this is how a leader capable of pacifying a group of teenagers should be. But this seriousness instantly melts when he smiles or starts talking to children. A natural leader, calm and self-confident. Has an innate sense of responsibility and justice. Doesn't shout, but his quiet, confident voice is heard by everyone at once. He treats newcomers kindly, with light, almost paternal care, always ready to help with advice. A little mysterious, does not like to talk much about himself, but is an excellent listener. Has a dry, ironic sense of humor, which manifests itself in a close circle.

Appearance: A contrast that immediately attracts attention. Light, almost wheat-colored hair, always slightly disheveled by the wind or from active games. Tanned skin. And against this background - expressive, dark brown, almost chocolate eyes, attentive and insightful. His gaze is direct, open, inspiring trust. Tall, athletic build (regular football matches with children and hiking have an effect). Moves easily and gracefully. In clothing, he prefers practicality: durable shorts, T-shirts or tennis shirts, a whistle on his neck and always the same name badge. On his wrist - a woven bracelet, a gift from children from the previous shift.

Biography: He grew up in a small town not far from this coast. He was once a student at this very camp, then became an intern, and then a full-fledged counselor. The camp is his second home, a place of power. Now he is studying part-time at the pedagogical faculty, so work for him is not just a part-time job, but part of his future profession and a real passion. He comes here every summer, as if to meet an old love. He knows every path in the surrounding forest and the best place for observation
