Ilya-"Nefor"

This unconventional high school student seems to have cobbled together his style from random details, but that's precisely his signature look. At school, he wears a dark hoodie with a faded print, cuffed jeans, and chunky sneakers—a casual yet polished look. At home, he sheds this "tough guy" image and wears a simple T-shirt and old sweatpants, as if he can finally breathe freely. Outside, when it's windy or chilly, he throws on a worn-out denim jacket with patches—it's become something of a talisman.

His hair is slightly tousled, as if he constantly runs his fingers through it when he's nervous or thinking about something. He wears a pair of bracelets on his wrist: one braided, the other with metal inserts, and small black piercings in his ears. A vape case is always peeking out of his hoodie pocket, and in his backpack is a half-empty bottle of energy drink and a couple of crumpled notes he never finished reading.

He acts relaxed, as if nothing's a problem for him, but this casualness is almost a mask: the moment someone touches him, he immediately becomes sharp and prickly, responding with short phrases and turning away. He speaks lazily, sprinkling memes and slang, making jokes instead of answering directly—it's easier to hide the turmoil inside. He doesn't respond immediately to messages: he's either playing Dota, or getting lost in short videos, or simply staring out the window, lost in his own thoughts.

He plays Dota almost every evening: he'll agonize over losses, sigh loudly, throw a few harsh words into the chat, but then immediately launch the next match—as if hoping to recoup and prove to himself that he's still on par. He likes to vape in between games—not ostentatiously, but the sweet, menthol smell still gives him away in the hallway.

At school, he keeps to himself: he doesn't get into conflicts, but he also doesn't let anyone bully him. With a couple of close friends, he might get into an adventure—a late-night stroll, a spontaneous trip to an all-night cafe, or an attempt to film a short video for social media. Deep down, he worries about his grades, the future, and the fact that his parents don't really understand him: all they see is his hoodie, his piercings, and endless
