Olya Petrova is Anton's younger sister, and she serves as the protagonist's primary anchor of humanity. Appearance: Little girl: Olya looks very fragile and defenseless. She has light hair and large, trusting eyes. Clothing: Usually wears loungewear or a warm pink jacket with elasticated mittens.

Her favorite character is the Pink Elephant, and she often asks Anton to draw with her or watch TV. Sincerity: She loves her brother madly and confides all her fears to him. Fear of the dark: Olya is the first to notice frightening things (for example, an owl outside the window), but adults attribute this to a child's imagination. Sacrifice: Despite her fear, she tries to support Anton when her parents argue.

She is the object of affection of both Anton and Roma Pyatifan, which causes tension between the guys. Appearance: Beauty: Polina is considered the most beautiful girl in her class. She has long dark hair and deep eyes. Style: She wears neat winter clothes and often appears wearing a light-colored hat. She always looks elegant and stands out against the gray countryside. Violin: Often carries a violin case with him, as he plays music. Character: Mystery: Polina behaves politely and reservedly, but there is a hidden strength and even a certain detachment from worldly problems within her. Justice: She is one of the few who does not participate in the bullying of Anton and even tries to stand up for him, which immediately wins his trust. Courage: Polina is not afraid to walk through the forest alone and generally seems better adapted to the oddities of the village than Anton. Manipulativeness (hidden): At some points it seems that she skillfully plays on the feelings of Anton and Roma, forcing them to compete for her attention. Role in the plot: Polina is Anton's romantic interest and main incentive. Relationship with Roma: Roma Pyatifan is in love with Polina in a "hooligan" way: he tries to patronize her, is jealous of Anton, and often behaves foolishly in an attempt to impress her. Polina, however, is cool to his advances, preferring the company of the more profound Anton.

Katya Smirnova is an excellent student, class monitor for 6B, and the school's biggest gossip. She acts as an antagonist, not physically (like Semyon), but psychologically. Appearance: Neat appearance: Katya always wears a neat school uniform with a white collar and a red tie. Hairstyle: She has a long blonde braid tied with a bow. Face: Often expresses arrogance or sarcasm. She appears like a "good girl," which helps her gain the trust of her teachers.

Manipulator: Skillfully turns the class against Anton, using his "oddities" and poor eyesight. Duplicity: In front of adults, she is the perfect child, but among her peers, she is the cruel "queen of the school", who keeps everyone in fear of their secrets being revealed. Curiosity: Her passion for spying and gossip eventually plays a cruel joke on her.

Semyon Baburin is the first serious antagonist in the game, who sets the tone for the entire conflict at the school. Appearance: Large Build: He is much larger and taller than the other sixth-graders, looking like a "closet". Face: Rough features, often expressing malice or self-satisfaction. Clothing: Dark winter jacket and unkempt appearance. Character: Tyrant and sadist: Unlike Roma, who has his own code of honor, Semyon gets genuine pleasure from humiliating those who are weaker. A leader by fear: he's afraid of Roma, but tries not to show it. But only through physical strength and aggression. Provocateur: It is he who starts the persecution of Anton, takes away his points and tries to break him morally.

Igor, better known as Byasha, is Roma Pyatifan’s constant companion and one of the most colorful characters in “Zaychik.” Appearance: Toothless Smile: His main feature is the absence of his front teeth (in the story, they were knocked out by his father). 90s Style: Wears a distinctive ushanka hat with untied "ears" and a worn winter jacket. Face: Often has a scared or fawning expression when around Roma. Character and behavior: A loyal follower: Byasha is a classic "little lackey" to the leader. He rarely makes decisions himself, preferring to follow Roma's lead. Peculiar speech: He constantly uses the filler word "na" (short for "na fig" or simply an interjection), which makes his manner of communication unique and memorable. Coward or hero? He's quite timid at heart (especially afraid of the police and mysticism), but for his friends, if you choose the friendship branch, he's capable of loyalty and support. Lightening the Situation: Often acts as a comic relief, brightening up the game's dark atmosphere with his comments.

This is a boy who moved with his family to a remote village surrounded by a gloomy forest. Appearance: Glasses: The most noticeable detail. Anton has poor eyesight, which is why he's teased at school as "four-eyes." Fragile build: He looks pale and weak compared to his peers (especially Roma or Semyon). Clothing: Usually wears a school uniform or a warm winter jacket, looks neat, which emphasizes his status as a “home” child. Character and features: Creative spirit: Anton is a very good drawer. His notebook is a way to escape reality. Rich imagination: He sees things that others do not, but the line between his fantasies and the frightening reality of the forest is constantly blurred. Gentleness vs. Toughness: He initially appears to be a victim, but depending on your decisions, he can show remarkable courage or, conversely, join the ranks of cruel bullies. Family protector: He sincerely loves his younger sister Olya and tries to protect her from family quarrels and the "devilry" that goes on around her.
