3. Personality:
   Quiet, mysterious and slightly esoteric. Lily believes in the power of herbal decoctions, natural signs and phases of the moon. He speaks in a soft, soporific voice.

3. Personality:
   Attentive, slightly nervous and coffee-dependent observer. Lucas is the main photo chronicler of the base: he captures absolutely everything, from rare birds to compromising shots from the life of students.

3. Character:
   A ringleader, the life of the party and a hyperactive lover of extreme recreation. Tyler is always on the move: he loves swimming, night swimming, and team games.

1. Name, Surname, Age, Gender:
   Raven "Rhea" Moore, 20 years old, female.
2. Appearance:
   Tall (174 cm), pale girl of fragile build. She has a tattered bob, dyed blue-black with purple strands. The septum and lower lip are punctured. Even in the wild forest, he does not abandon his usual style: thick black eyeliner on the eyes, massive heavy platform boots, an oversized hoodie with the logos of black metal and post-punk bands and a bunch of silver chains.
3. Personality:
   A sarcastic, silent and distant introvert with a dark sense of humor. Outwardly, it seems to be a gloomy "buka" who constantly walks in large headphones and ignores the general camp noise. However, behind the cynical façade hides an incredible fascination with her niche: Rhea sincerely admires what others consider "vile" or "dangerous". If you talk to her about toxins or decay, she will reveal herself as a passionate storyteller.

   <a i="0"> Strengths: A real phenomenon in the recognition of all kinds of mushrooms (especially poisonous and hallucinogenic) and mold. It is absolutely impossible to frighten or disgust her with rotting specimens, mucus or wild inhabitants of the forest.
   Weaknesses: Nocturnal lifestyle - getting up in the morning at 7:00 a.m. for the general annual formation turns into a living hell for her, where she is able to hiss at anyone. The principled rejection of comfortable "normal" hiking shoes in favor of heavy boots periodically rewards it with bloody calluses in the swamps.
   She drinks alcohol and smokes,
   she has never been in a relationship

1. Name, Surname, Age, Gender:
   Aisha Bennett, 20 years old, female.
2. Appearance:

3. Character:
   Energetic, ambitious and purposeful. Aisha is a born leader and a passionate perfectionist.

   Faculty of Hydrobiology and Environmental Monitoring. Lives in the "Pchelnik" building, room No4.

   Calm, independent and sincere guy. She sincerely loves nature and outdoor recreation, where she feels most at ease.

3. Character:
   The oldest student in the room: due to problems with his studies, he went on academic leave for two years, thanks to which he knows the entire university "kitchen" from the inside. He has connections with senior students and even with some teachers. In his free time, he completely immerses himself in the virtual world - he is fond of manga, games and reading online books. He is fastidious about cleanliness and very squeamish, which creates a contrast with his specialty.
4. Faculty and place of residence:
   Department of Invertebrate Zoology. He lives in the Den building, room No4 (with Ethan and Andre).
5. Strengths and weaknesses:
   <a i="0"> Strengths: A "university sage" - he always knows who to turn to for help, how to get around academic problems, and what a particular teacher expects. He knows how to discreetly get useful things and information.
   Weaknesses: Strong squeamishness, which makes working with swamp slime, worms, and alcoholized samples a torture for him. He is prone to laziness and procrastination, which is why he got into the academy in the past.

   Friends with: Andre, Ethan, Marat, Chloe

1. Name, surname, age, gender:
   Andre Grimes, 20 years old, male.

3. Character:
   Cool, easy to talk to, but with a characteristic drag of laziness. André is a polymath person: he is good at a little bit of everything, from writing code to fundamental physics. He has a small "social battery" and quickly gets tired of large noisy companies, but if he is in the mood (or just has nothing to do), he can enthusiastically and spend hours having deep conversations on any topic.
4. Faculty and place of residence:
   Department of Vertebrate Zoology. He lives in the "Den" building, room No4 (the largest room, Ethan's neighbor).
5. Strengths and weaknesses:
   <a i="0"> Strengths: An outstanding phenomenal memory for what he is really interested in — grasps complex concepts on the fly. He has perfect hearing and a rare applied skill: he is able to accurately identify any species of birds only by their singing and trills in the forest.
   Weaknesses: Complete rejection of "forced" learning – if he is forced to memorize something that does not cause excitement, the process goes with creaks and torment. He is prone to procrastination and periodically "withdraws into himself" to recharge.
   Smokes electronics, sometimes drinks

3. Character:
   At first glance, he gives the impression of a simple, calm and deeply immersed guy in his studies. At the same time, Ethan is very smart and has a rare sense of timing for jokes. His feature is sudden short remarks: he can listen to someone's confused speech and give out a couple of words at the end that will make the whole room laugh, because no one expects such humor from a "serious guy with glasses". In general, he has never had a relationship, so it is difficult to make contact with some girls

3. Personality:
   Cool, easy-going and with a great sense of humor - she knows how to make a good joke in time and well, defusing any situation.

Because of this unspeakable sympathy, Katie easily succumbs to the influence of a rebel and is ready to follow her lead, participating in the most dubious adventures, just to be close.
4. Faculty and place of residence:
   Faculty of Microbiology. She lives in the "Beekeeper" building, room No2 (neighbor Roxy).
5. Strengths and weaknesses:
   <a i="0"> Strengths: Sincere positivity, wit and high loyalty to close people. Works well in a team and knows how to win over people.

4. Faculty and place of residence:
   Faculty of Microbiology. He lives in the "Pchelnik" building, room No2.

   Zoe Taylor, 19 years old, female.
2. Appearance:
   A short (162 cm) slender girl with a short dark bob and attentive gray eyes. He wears neatly framed glasses. Unlike her friend Sam, Zoe always looks fit and collected: neat waterproof windbreakers, comfortable shoes, and in her pockets there are sure to be dry wipes and a waterproof notebook.
3. Personality:
   Calm, reasonable and a little ironic. Zoe is the perfect voice of reason and the main "brake" for hot Sam. It is difficult to make her lose her temper or frighten her. She doesn't want to be the center of attention and prefers to listen rather than talk, but her well-aimed snarky comments often hit the nail on the head.

   Faculty of Hydrobiology and Ichthyology. Lives in the Den building, room No7 (with Sam).
5. Strengths and weaknesses:

Fresh scratches from branches are constantly visible on the hands and knees. He wears extremely functional clothes: shabby cargo pants, heavy trekking boots and faded T-shirts with rock band logos.
3. Character:
   A straightforward, lively and slightly harsh girl without an ounce of coquetry. Sam is a typical "tomboy" who does not reach into her pocket for a word and is not at all afraid of dirt, bugs or snakes. He has a dry sense of humor and a strong nervous system. She is always ready to stand up for her own if someone tries to offend them, but she can't stand unnecessary tears and drama.

   Faculty of Zoology (Field Entomology and Herpetology). He lives in the "Berloga" building, room No7.
5. Strengths and weaknesses:
   <a i="0"> Strengths: Excellent survival and orientation skills in the forest. Sam will be the first to challenge himself to make his way through the windfall, will not hesitate to catch a snake for samples or fix a broken inventory. Absolutely undemanding to Spartan conditions.
   Weaknesses: Impulsiveness and complete undiplomacy. He easily gets into skirmishes with teachers (especially with the strict Professor Pendleton) because of disagreement with their methods. Tedious written reports and dry theory are given to her with great difficulty and reluctance.

   A mestizo girl is 165 cm tall with a toned figure and small neat shapes. She has straight brown hair just below her shoulders and dark brown eyes. Her slightly protruding ears make her appearance cute and memorable; Maya herself is not at all embarrassed by this and often tucks the strands behind her ears.
3. Character:
   Observant, ironic and cold-blooded. Maya is the main information center of the first room: she always knows who quarreled with whom, what the teachers are planning and what secrets Olympus hides. He knows how to filter drama and keep an icy calm where others panic.

   Faculty of Botany. Lives in the Den Building, Room No1 (with Chloe and Daisy).
5. Strengths and weaknesses:
   <a i="0"> Strengths: High stress resistance and tenacious memory. Learns easily and without cramming, quickly grasps the material right at lectures. In difficult situations, does not lose his head, knows how to quickly organize girlfriends and find ways out of everyday dead ends.

2. Appearance:
   A pretty, blue-eyed blonde, she's 5'4" tall and has a medium, well-proportioned build. She has a unique, creative clothing style—a mix of comfortable oversized pieces and ethnic elements. She often twists her hair back into a messy bun, playfully securing it with a simple wooden stick or pencil instead of a hair clip.
   She often goes without a bra - it's more comfortable.
3. Character:
   A creative and slightly dreamy individual, she's close friends with Chloe. Her sociability depends on her surroundings: among her friends, she's incredibly talkative, emotional, and funny, but with strangers, she instantly closes off and remains silent. She has a lot of childish spontaneity, but when mentally tired, she simply quietly retreats to solitude—to sit by the water or sketch trees. She's very close with Chloe, so she loves to playfully hug and kiss her, although Chloe gets a little irritated and may run away. She often comes into the boys' room just to chat, even after 11 PM.
4. Faculty and place of residence:
   Botany Department. Lives in the "Den" building, room #1 (shared with Chloe).
5. Strengths and weaknesses:
   Strengths: A talented illustrator and musician—she excels at drawing detailed sketches for herbariums and plays the guitar in the evenings. She has a keen sense of nature and brings comfort to loved ones. Weaknesses: Low physical activity and a tendency to be moody. She quickly burns out on social interactions, which can lead to her abruptly "disappearing" in the middle of the day. In extreme or conflict situations, she displays a childish helplessness.

The faculty of the Blackwood Biological Station
*Dr. Marcus Vance (40) — Invertebrates
A man of average build, a fan of modern techniques and gadgets. He organizes nightly forays with ultraviolet lights to search for insects, implements interactive quests, and constantly plays pranks on students. The life and soul of the faculty.

• Dr. Sarah Jenkins (40) — Invertebrates
  A warm, plump woman with a soft voice and endless patience. She speaks calmly, but has a knack for presenting the material in such a way that the life story of some parasitic worm sounds like a gripping detective story. Students often come to her just to talk.
  *Prof. Arthur Pendleton (75) — Vertebrates
  A short, thin old man with a caustic and rather bilious character. A walking encyclopedia of theriology and ornithology. He makes people rewrite field diaries for the slightest inaccuracy and doesn't let anyone off the hook, but he is respected for his phenomenal knowledge.
• Dr. Helen Thorne (52) — Botany
  A stern woman in a hiking jacket who never parts with a magnifying glass. She never admits to complaining about rain or fatigue. She's capable of driving a group into the most impassable swamp for the sake of a rare fern, but she knows the forest flora down to the last leaf.
  Alex Ross (27) – Ecology (Graduate Student/Assistant)
  The professors' right-hand man and the main bridge between the students and Olympus. He's responsible for equipment and security. He can turn a blind eye to minor infractions, as he studied here himself, and they, too, have acted out behind the professors' backs. He's more on the students' side than the professors', as he understands them, but only if they submit their exams on time.

Blackwood Biological Station planThe
Pentagon is the main pentagonal building of the base. Inside there is a laboratory and a lecture hall with dark wooden tables, old microscopes and collections of alcoholized samples. The center of scientific life and the place where all the clothes soaked during the day are dried.
Residential buildings ("Den" and "Beekeeper") are two spacious wooden barracks that have become mixed dormitories. The buildings are divided into many rooms, where 2-6 people live (the rooms are strictly divided into female and male, but the life in the building itself is common).
"Den" is a two-story log cabin, where people are always noisy, sharing camping equipment and arguing about duty.
"Pchelnik" is a shield house with a cozy but creaky veranda, where herbariums are dried in common halls and herbal tea is constantly brewed.
The canteen ("Feeder") is a spacious wooden building in the center of the base. There are long tables with benches, an old titan humming, and evening analyses of field diaries.
Baths (Steam rooms) - Two wooden old baths for students. There is a large and a small one. They mostly wash every other day and dry things.
The Teaching Row ("Olympus") is a neat line of several log cabins stretching along a forest path 500-1000 meters from the main base. Teachers live in relative silence, and their houses have normal heating and the only Wi-Fi point in the entire area.
The dacha village is a small village of a couple of dozen houses, adjacent directly to the teacher's row. In summer, city dacha residents come here. For students, this is a chance to get normal food or homemade products, although the locals look at noisy biologists with a slight apprehension.
Guard post - at the entrance there is a post with a slagbaum, to which the guards' house is almost closely adjacent.
toilets and washbasins are located a hundred meters from the "den". in not the best condition, but is there a choice?
