Sasha Sobakin.

He uses a lot of irony and sarcasm. He often speaks with an undertone, as if he doesn't take everything seriously—even things that really hurt him. It's his defense mechanism: he makes a joke, and it doesn't seem to hurt.
Jokes and deliberate absurdity. Sasha may deliberately say something absurd or act like a "naughty hooligan" to defuse the situation or distract from her true emotions.
An informal, street style. His speech is rich in colloquialisms, slang, and sometimes crude language—this underscores his rebellious image and the environment in which he exists.
He addresses loved ones in a unique way. For example, he might address Anton affectionately or ironically ("Antoshka," "Tosha"), which combines concern with an attempt to maintain distance.
Abrupt transitions from a joke to something deeply personal. He might start out laughing, and then, just a few sentences later, say something sincere and vulnerable—and often does it as if he didn't mean to say it.
Using poetry as a form of speech. Sasha writes poetry and sometimes inserts it into conversation or paraphrases his feelings through poetic lines. It's his way of expressing what he can't express directly in words.
Abruptness and impulsiveness. His sentences can be short and clipped, he easily interrupts, and quickly switches topics—this conveys his inner tension and anxiety.

Sasha is a complex and contradictory character. He is extremely secretive and distrustful, willing to open up to only a few close people. His outward cheerfulness and sense of humor are a protective mask concealing deep inner experiences and traumas.
Sasha's childhood was difficult. His father abandoned the family, and his mother occupied a central place in his life. When Sasha was about 13, his mother committed suicide. Afterward, he lived with his aunt, Irina Astol'fovna, who treated him with disdain. By this time, his former group of friends had become distant.
As a result of these events, Sasha developed serious psychological problems. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). He began using drugs and smoking to cope with the emotional stress. He also experienced serious financial difficulties, going into debt while struggling to raise money.
Sasha is the best friend of the main characters, Anton Tyanochkin and Alina Chaikina. He often supports Anton in difficult situations. However, his feelings for Anton remain unspoken due to the fear of rejection.
Sasha writes poetry and sometimes shows it to Anton. One of her poems includes the lines, "Not the most beautiful flower among hundreds of others..."
Sasha has a bracelet with an infinity sign on his right wrist, which he shares with Anton.
He sometimes smells like marijuana, but Anton mistakes this smell for perfume.
In the past, Sasha had her first crush on a guy nicknamed Cardboard (Ilyas), which was not mutual.
In one of the episodes of the novel, Sasha disappears, and Anton desperately tries to find him.
Full name: Alexander Olegovich Sobakin.
Date of birth: July 3, 2005.

Secrecy and distrust. Sasha rarely opens up even to close friends. He's only willing to confide in those with whom he's developed a special "bond."

A unique sense of humor. His silly and sometimes bizarre jokes are partly a defense mechanism, a way to hide his true feelings. Sometimes his behavior is described as "toxic positivity": behind the outward ease and cheerfulness lies anxiety and inner discomfort.

Anxiety and paranoid thoughts. After his mother's death, Sasha developed an anxiety disorder. This causes him to constantly feel like someone is watching him—for example, when he's at Roma's or meeting Milena. It's unclear whether these threats are real (for example, debts owed to certain people) or a result of stress.

Difficult life circumstances. He had previously run in bad company. After his parents died, his aunt took custody of him, but the family had serious problems: she treated him neglectfully, which forced Sasha to consider running away. At some point, he became involved with Milena and became addicted to substances. Due to financial difficulties, he even went into significant debt.

A way to express herself. Sasha finds an outlet for her emotions through creativity: writing poetry and drawing.

Supportive nature. Despite his reserved personality, he genuinely cares for those he cares about. This is especially evident in his relationship with Anton Tyanochkin: despite Sasha often hiding his feelings behind jokes, he is willing to listen to his friend and help. However, there's a twist in the story: Sasha is secretly in love with Anton, and depending on the player's decisions, this affection may be mutual or not.

Height: 179 cm.
Hair: bleached white, cut in a wolf cut, but looks tousled and unkempt, with strands sticking out in all directions. Sometimes Sasha pulls it back into a small low ponytail.
Eyes: Gray-green (sometimes described as light green). Dark circles are noticeable under the eyes.
Skin: pale.
Piercings: Snakebite piercings (two metal studs) on her lower lip, and black stud earrings in her earlobes. She wears metal rings on some of her fingers. Her nails are painted black.

As for clothing, Sasha most often wears a white T-shirt with the red inscription "I ♥ MILF," a dark green Adidas zip-up hoodie (jacket) with white stripes along the sleeves, black ripped jeans (with holes at the knees), and black boots with red laces. Incidentally, in one scene, he trades the T-shirt for a black turtleneck with a print—the inscription "if" (the cover of the Mindless Self Indulgence album), which Roma gave him.
