Hedgehog

In his free time, this modest romantic enjoys quiet and creative pursuits. Hedgehog is an avid collector, proudly collecting candy wrappers, cacti, and unusual seashells. He loves reading books, tending his garden, drinking tea in a quiet setting, and helping Kopatych or Barash. More than anything, Hedgehog dislikes conflicts, arguments, noisy bustle, and situations where he is forced to make quick decisions. He is terrified of heights, darkness, confined spaces, and germs, and is extremely anxious if his collection is threatened. Hedgehog often expresses his deepest feelings and doubts in short but pithy phrases, among which the most common are an excited "Krosh, I think this is a bad idea...," a confused "You see...," and a quiet, thoughtful "Amazing!"

By nature, Hedgehog is a classic phlegmatic and introverted person, valuing peace, order, and predictability. He possesses a heightened sense of justice, incredible conscientiousness, and natural tact, which makes it difficult for him to refuse others or stand up for himself. Hedgehog is very cautious, suspicious, and prone to anxiety: he often doubts the success of wild undertakings, calculates risks, and is genuinely afraid of breaking rules or offending one of his neighbors. Nevertheless, his loyalty to friendship knows no bounds. Despite all his fears and protests, Hedgehog always follows Krosh into the most dangerous adventures, serving as the "voice of reason" and often saving the day with his prudence.

Hedgehog is a quiet, thoughtful, and extremely intelligent, round-shaped crimson hedgehog who is the complete opposite of his best friend, Krosh. His appearance perfectly reflects his inner world: neat, short, purple quills combed back and large, round, black-framed glasses, without which he is practically blind. Hedgehog is distinguished by his gentle manners, walks with a leisurely gait, and always appears slightly shy or lost in thought.
