13 CARDS

Grandma (Granny) is a minor, yet colorful and highly recognizable supporting character in the "13 Cards" universe. She is Fyodor's neighbor on the landing. This character embodies the classic image of a grumpy, yet funny elderly neighbor who keeps a close eye on the order in the entrance hall. Grandma's appearance: Her face and glasses—her signature are the enormous round glasses with blue frames. Behind the thick lenses, her eyes seem unnaturally large. Teeth - one gold tooth is clearly visible in her mouth, which gleams amusingly when she grumbles or yells at Fyodor. Her hair is ash-gray and pulled back into an old-fashioned bun at the nape of her neck. Notably, the bun is pinned with two long red knitting needles. She wears a red dressing gown, underneath which is visible a white T-shirt with a neat flower-shaped collar, and a lilac skirt. She wears simple slippers. Role in the plot and character: Grandma is a typical menacing "guardian of the building." She constantly keeps watch in the stairwell, grumbling at Fyodor about noise, disorder, or the excessively frequent visits of suspicious (from her perspective) people. She is the one who regularly becomes an unwitting witness to the clones' strange behavior when they try to escape into the real world or divide up the space in the building.

The building and entrance hall where Fyodor lives (and all his clones in the real world) are a classic, slightly run-down Russian high-rise, typical of residential areas. The artists at Phoenix Studio meticulously captured the atmosphere of ordinary post-Soviet life. What the building looks like from the outside: The building type is a multi-apartment panel or brick building (a gray high-rise). From the outside, it looks rather dull, gray, and ordinary, contrasting with the bright and colorful clones. The courtyard is a typical city courtyard with paved paths, sparse trees, parked cars and nondescript curbs. What does the entrance look like: The entrance area is a massive dark-colored metal door with a combination lock/intercom, above which hangs a simple light bulb or canopy. The walls and interior—the inside of the entryway is standard and uninviting. The walls are painted in the traditional colors of such buildings (often dirty green, blue, or gray, up to the middle of the wall, with whitewash above). Here and there, the walls may have small cracks, teenage graffiti, or marker scribbles. Fyodor's stairwell and floor—this floor features old Soviet-era mailboxes, gray concrete steps with iron railings, and several apartment doors. The lighting on these floors is rather dim. In scenes showing the landing in front of Fyodor's door, a classic linoleum or concrete floor is visible, as are neighbors' doors. Incidentally, it's in this stairwell (in additional footage and sketches) that Fyodor and the clones periodically encounter colorful neighbors—for example, a gypsy woman or the Joker. This mundane, gray setting of the house and entrance was specifically created by the author to emphasize how strange and unusually bright card clones look in the harsh everyday reality of an ordinary teenager.

In the animated series and comics, Fyodor's apartment is a small, standard city apartment, where nine characters are forced to coexist. In the sitcom's first episode ("The Clones Clean the Apartment"), the characters literally allude to the "Land of Kings": they divide the entire living space into individual sectors, turning the corners of the rooms into tiny versions of their own states, creating complete visual chaos. Main locations and zones of the apartment: The living room-kitchen (combined) is the main common area, where most arguments, meetings and shared meals take place. The clones built their “zones of influence” along the walls: Felix's Corner is decorated with bright yellow smiley faces and posters about kindness and positivity. The Waru sector is covered in green paint, hung with hooligan attributes and traps for other clones. The Romeo Zone is decorated in pink tones and filled with fashion magazines and romantic accessories. Kuromaku's workplace is a strict scientific corner, littered with graphs, drawings and books. Fyodor's room is the Creator's personal space, which he initially forbade the clones from entering, trying to maintain at least relative order there. The corridor is a narrow passageway that characters also manage to divide and use for brawls (for example, Peak often bases himself there, masking his aggressive plans). The bathroom and toilet—due to the huge number of residents, there are constant queues and household disasters (for example, when clones tried to start the washing machine and flooded everything with foam). Overall, the interior has the look of a typical teenage or college-age mess, enhanced by the fact that each of the eight clones tries to impose its own unique style, color, and character on the space.

Fyodor Nechitailo (The Creator) is the main protagonist of the backstory ("Fyodor x9"), the demiurge and creator of all eight clones in the "13 Cards" universe. The character is directly based on the real-life creator of the project, animator and comic artist Fyodor Nechitailo. According to the plot, Fyodor is an ordinary schoolboy (later a college student) who disliked studying and chores. Using gypsy magic, he made a deal and obtained a magical deck of cards that allowed him to materialize his alter egos (clones) into the real world to perform all his chores for him. However, due to the ensuing chaos, he was forced to lock them away in the Card World. What does Fedor look like: Hair: Dark chestnut (brown), curly or slightly tousled.

Spade (King of Spades) is the leader of the spades suit, the eighth clone of Fyodor Nechitailo and one of the most powerful characters in the 13 Cards universe.

Dante is a philosopher, a sage, and the most calm and peaceful of the clones. He professes the principles of Buddhism and Taoism, meditates constantly, and is in harmony with himself and the world around him. His speech consists almost entirely of quotes, proverbs, aphorisms, and philosophical truths (often comically banal), which he generously shares with the other clones.

In "Land of Kings," he founds the quiet Asian village of Sukhavati, where the inhabitants take their time, meditate, and live a subsistence lifestyle.

He relies solely on logic, mathematics, facts, and dry statistics, completely rejecting emotion and magic. Kuromaku strives for total control, order, and discipline.

What does Kuromaku look like: Glasses—rectangular glasses with thin black or silver frames—are his main and indispensable accessory. His hair is short and neatly styled, ash-gray.

Clothing (casual look) - wears a strict dark gray or black two-piece business suit (jacket and trousers), a white shirt and a neatly tied dark tie.

Gabriel is the first clone of Fedor Nechitailo, a representative of the diamond suit and the Jack of Diamonds in the "13 Cards" universe. Gabriel is the most naive, lost, and misunderstanding of the clones. He's completely unaware of the basic rules of the real world, leaving him in a state of constant bewilderment. His main characteristic is asking endless, sometimes absurd and confusing questions about everything around him (his favorite phrase is "Huh? What? Why?"). Because of this, the other clones often avoid long conversations with him. In the plot of "Land of Kings," he's the only one who didn't build a full-fledged civilized state, instead remaining inhabiting an untouched natural area that has become a mysterious, foggy ecosystem. What does Gabriel look like: Elven Ears - Long, pointed ears that make him very different from the other humanoid clones. Hair is chestnut (brown), cut into a short, casual hairstyle with a funny protruding cowlick on the top. Eyes and facial expressions: Large, round brown eyes.
