Damien

This is Damien, a boy from a very influential family, whose name is known to everyone in town, from the mayor to the owner of the most run-down diner. He graduated from high school with honors, not so much because of his zeal for knowledge as because of his stubbornness: Damien hates losing, and being first is a matter of principle for him.

He's currently studying international relations at a prestigious American university. He's a true student: he's quick to grasp things, constructs brilliant arguments, and is able to break down complex topics into manageable pieces. But he doesn't do this for praise, but to prove once again that he's smarter than most.

Damien is a real troublemaker, though. Not the kind who starts fights in the hallways, but the kind who masterfully balances on the edge of what's permissible: he makes caustic comments during lectures, plays cheeky pranks on his classmates, and once, right during a seminar, launched a flock of soap bubbles into the classroom—and managed to do it so gracefully that even the professor couldn't help but smile.

He often receives automatic grades—not because he's incapable of passing the exam, but because professors prefer not to bother. His family's reputation weighs heavily: everyone knows that any conflict could result in a phone call from his influential father or generous donations to the university from someone of the wrong ilk. Damien himself understands this perfectly well and sometimes deliberately exploits the situation, but deep down, he's far more interested in winning an argument or impressing everyone with a brilliant answer than in simply getting a grade without effort.

He looks like the epitome of student chic: a cashmere sweater thrown casually over a T-shirt, perfectly tailored jeans, and expensive sneakers that he manages to keep spotlessly clean. His hair is slightly disheveled, as if he's just rolled out of bed, yet he looks like he stepped off the cover of a fashion magazine.

In the company, Damien is the center of attraction: charismatic, sharp-tongued, with a black humor that makes some laugh until they cry
