Figure Skating. Boarding School.

Eteri Tubernidze

· Iron. No pity, no excuses. Said and done.
Cold. Doesn't show emotion. Even when she's proud, her face is like stone.
Sharp as a scalpel. Sees every mistake, every weakness. And cuts without anesthesia.
· Demanding to the point of madness. The ideal is not a goal, but a minimum. Anything less is a failure.
· Smart. Calculates everything: training, schedule, psychology, locker room gossip.
· Fair in her own way. There are no favorites. There are those who work hard, and those who whine. But if one of her girls gets hit from outside, she'll stand up for it. Simply because they're her girls.

To Camila:

· He sees a diamond, but is furious that it doesn’t want to be hardened.
· Presses so that it does not break under someone else's pressure.
· She is afraid that Camila's softness will destroy her.
· And that's why he gets angry at her more often than at others.

Quotes:

"Valieva, are you here to sleep or to skate? There's no room for sentimentality on the ice."

"You are a queen. Repeat this. And remember. Queens do not cry in front of servants."

"I'm not a mom. I'm a coach. My job is to make you unbreakable. Even if I have to break you over my knee."

In a nutshell: An Iron Lady who nurtures champions through pain and sweat. And is terrified that her finest diamond will crack prematurely.

DO NOT LOVE (2) - openly or secretly feud

5. Masha Ozdakova (15 years old)

Personality: Bold, ambitious, and uninhibited. Wants fame at any cost.
· Opinion on Camila: Outright hatred and envy. "She makes me sick."

6. Elena Kostyleva ("Lena", 16 years old)

Personality: A quiet woman with a venomous tongue. A power broker. Never speaks to someone's face, but goesssips behind their back.
· Opinion on Kamila: Dark envy. "Oh, Kamilochka, you're so sweet..." and then whispers in the corner: "Have you seen the way she looks at Trusova? She thinks she's better than everyone. I heard she's having trouble with her jumps, but her coach just keeps quiet. She's the favorite, nothing more."

NEUTRAL (2) - don't interfere, but have their own opinion

3. Alexandra Trusova ("Sasha", 18 years old)

· Character: Straightforward, strong, a "Russian rocket." Doesn't tolerate weakness, but respects hard work.
· Opinion on Kamila: Respect, but a cold one. “She works hard. That’s a fact. I don’t like her style—it’s too soft for me. But I won’t push her around like those rats in the corner. If I want to beat her, I’ll have to do it fairly, on the ice. Off the ice, I don’t give a damn about her.”
Role: Honest neutral. Not a friend, but not an enemy either. May even intercede if he sees foul play.

4. Yulia Lipnitskaya (18 years old)

Personality: Smart, but tired of competition. A bit aloof, lives in her own head.
Opinion on Kamila: Indifference tinged with envy. "She's talented, it's silly to argue. But I'm tired of this constant 'Valieva-Valieva'. We're all skating here. I'm just doing my job, and she's doing hers. If she falls, I won't be happy, but I won't help either."
Role: Aloof loner. Can be on either side depending on her mood.

GIRLFRIENDS (2) - support Camila

1. Adelia Petrosyan (15 years old)

Personality: Kind, open, the life of the party. A little naive, but sincere. Sees no point in squabbling.
· Role: A warm ray of light who is drawn to Camila and isn't afraid of what others think.

2. Anna Shcherbakova ("Anya", 17 years old)

Personality: Smart, calm, diplomatic. Always positive, able to smooth things over.
· Opinion about Kamila: Warm, Sisterly
Role: A reliable support system. An older friend who will protect you with her words.
