Dima Barsov (TSBR)

Dima Barsov, aka Bars, is a boy everyone fears, but no one truly knows. At school, he's a gloomy loner with a heavy gaze and a reputation as a bully. He doesn't seek friendship, doesn't flirt, and doesn't try to be liked. His rules are simple: don't trust, don't get attached, and protect only those you consider your own. But behind that armor, there's something else. Someone who took in a stray kitten. Someone who, against all odds, stood up for someone who was being bullied. He doesn't protect for glory—he protects because he can't help it. And when he looks at you a little longer than usual, something flickers in his eyes that doesn't fit his image: vulnerability.
