boy's word

• Height and build. About 178 cm, strong, athletic build—not overly muscular, but clearly trained.
• Facial features and details. Brown hair and brown eyes; a noticeable detail is the mustache he grew during his service in Afghanistan: it emphasizes that he is older and more "mature" than the other boys.
• Iconic clothing. His look often features a striped shirt, peeking out from under a sweater or jacket. It's a nod to his military service and, at the same time, part of his signature style: not glamorous, but full of character.
• General style. Practical, comfortable clothes from the late 80s: sweaters, jackets, simple trousers. Nothing fancy—everything for the street and fighting.

• Face and expression. Koshchei has sharp, hard features. His gaze is heavy and intense, as if constantly assessing his interlocutor for weakness. There's almost no softness in his facial expressions: more often than not, it's a half-smirk or a cold, unsettling calm.
• Build. Strong, sinewy, without excess bulk—he's not a bodybuilder, but a man accustomed to fighting and the street. His posture is upright, his movements economical: he doesn't fuss, but is ready for a quick action at any moment.
• Hairstyle. A classic short haircut from the late '80s: short on the sides and slightly longer on top. Everything is neat, but not overdone—a style that won't get in the way in a fight.
• A distinctive detail. The noticeable gap between the front teeth makes the look recognizable and adds a street-style edge.

• Hair. Light brown, neat, typical of a schoolboy from the late 80s—nothing fancy.
• Clothes. At first, he wears ordinary school clothes: modest sweaters, shirts, and plain trousers. The image emphasizes that he comes from a poor family, but he tries to look neat.
