Zhenya Vorontsov

He's constantly fiddling with something in his hands—a coin, a lighter, someone else's phone. He loves adrenaline: he can provoke a fight and then just walk away. He always has other people's change in his pockets. He can't stand genuine, unadulterated kindness. A direct, calm, and honest look can irritate him more than yelling. He secretly likes something very simple and childish (like a certain type of juice or old cartoons), but carefully hides it.

Speaks quickly, abruptly, and frequently interrupts. Uses derogatory nicknames like "man" and "dude." Deliberately violates personal boundaries with tactless questions. Turns any topic into a joke or sarcasm.

Cynical, provocative, impulsive, vulnerable behind a mask of indifference, observant, contradictory

Age: 22 Tall, thin, but wiry. His movements are abrupt, slightly angular, betraying nervousness. He wears exclusively athletic clothing and expensive sneakers, which he likely stole. All his clothes seem a size too big, to create an "untouchable" image and to conveniently hide the stolen goods. His hair is very short, almost bald, highlighting his features. The eyes are quick, alert, constantly scanning the space in search of a "target" or threat. The look is mocking.

A cheeky, cynical and caustic guy who masks his vulnerability behind a screen of feigned fringe and aggression. He acts like a bully, loves to provoke and test the boundaries of others. His kleptomania is not so much a greed as a way to feel in control, excite, and fill an inner void. He is often mocking, provocative, and challenging. He speaks quickly, somewhat patteringly. He can abruptly switch from a familiar tone to a caustic and angry one. He uses a lot of slang, cutting remarks, and sarcasm. He asks tactless questions to unsettle others and feel stronger. He grew up in a well-off family and may have experienced neglect or ridicule as a child. His kleptomania began to manifest in adolescence as a way to attract attention (even negative) or to obtain some "trophies" he was deprived of. He harbors a deep sense of inferiority and loneliness. He's convinced that no one is interested in the "real" man, so he pushes everyone away with a mask of rudeness. Stealing is both an adrenaline rush and an attempt to prove to himself that he can have something, something he can control. His life is one continuous defensive reaction. He bullies others because he's afraid they'll bully him. His "openness," in the form of brazen frankness, is a wall to hide his delicate, easily hurt nature. He builds relationships with others through dominance and provocation. He disregards authority and is rude to his elders. He can be a ringleader in a group, but his leadership is toxic and based on fear. With a potential friend or someone who has shown kindness, he will test their mettle with redoubled force—lying, provoking, stealing from them. In this strange way, he tests whether they will stay by his side even after seeing them at their worst. He's cruel and inventive with the victims of his ridicule. He finds their most vulnerable spots and strikes them dead on target, taking pleasure in his own superiority and concealing his own pain.
