Alexey and Valery / The Collapsed Snow Empire.

Full name: Pravdin Mitriy Lvofovich
Mitya looks like he just escaped from a lab or a science parade! And he's completely unfazed by it. Pale skin, tousled silvery-white hair, and bright violet, atomic eyes brimming with insatiable curiosity. He's dressed in a long, ill-fitting dark blue engineer's coat with gold trim and numerous pockets stuffed with blueprints, tools, and... theater programs. Around his neck is his ever-present white scarf embroidered with atoms; he likes to wash it only on sunny days. On his belt is a set of lab keys, and on his forearm is a homemade "Eye of God" (actually an artifact for measuring energy spikes, "borrowed" from work). His clothes are always rumpled; he sleeps in them at work, his fingers stained with ink and grease. In an evening, he can calculate a power supply diagram or create a device for jamming police frequencies. But he genuinely doesn't understand why everyone demands he "come to work on time" and "not sleep in the archives." Bureaucracy is killing him, and Valery is his personal nightmare, but not his enemy. Unlike Alyosha, Mitya understands Valery's motives. He sees that the major isn't a villain, but a man caught in the clutches of the system. Mitya often tells Alyosha, "He's not bad, Lyosha. He's just tired and trying to salvage what he can. It's just that his methods are stuffy and schedules." Mitya respects Valery for his intelligence and honesty, even though he suffers from his pedantry. He helps Alyosha not out of pity, but because he finds it interesting. He sees Rokot as "an inefficient system that could be optimized." At the same time, he's genuinely attached to his friends and is willing to do anything for them. Mitya is "all for science." If Alyosha asks him to hack a police server, he'll do it, but then he'll spend six months talking about how "their security was so interestingly structured." He dislikes violence, but he can cold-bloodedly design a bomb if he believes it is "a necessary measure to save more people." For Mitya, Alyosha is "the most honest man in this rotten city."

Valery (full name: Bystryakov Valery Dmitrievich) of the "Special Assault Battalion" at the Armory Palace in Snezhnaya.
He has pale skin, short dark hair with a purple tint, and black eyes with purple highlights.
During service, he wears a dark blue, insulated hat with earflaps and earflaps. He wears a closed tunic or overcoat with buttons and a high collar. His insignia include red rectangular tabs on the collar and shoulder straps (rank: Major). A leather belt with a buckle is worn over the shoulder.
Strict, demanding, and obsessive about meeting deadlines. His main job is to ensure that the genius Mitya doesn't shirk his work, as well as to monitor the Rokot group, which is actively committing crimes. He commands with frightening composure. His track record is impressive: he's destroyed numerous gangs and thwarted dozens of espionage and kidnapping attempts.
Polite and tactful. Mitya notes that Valera isn't entirely committed to Snezhnaya's policies and is capable of compromise unless there's a direct threat. Outside of duty, he's even started frequenting theaters and restaurants, suggesting he has a personal life. Valery isn't just a heartless soldier. His pursuit of Alyosha and desire to get closer to him are a tangled web of duty, guilt, and budding sympathy. In the past, Valery arrived late at the scene of Alyosha's mother's murder. He saw the little boy among the corpses and was unable to save him. He fears that the child he failed to protect will be lost forever in the gangster whirlpool. Valery knows that Alyosha's father died a hero. The fact that the hero's son became a bandit offends Valery's honor as an officer. He wants to repay his father by pulling his son out of the mud, even if he resists.
Alyosha robs "bad" people, but selflessly helps the elderly and dogs. Alyosha is the only one who isn't afraid of Valera or flatters him. Their squabbles have become a refuge for the major in the bureaucratic world. Valery harbors a slight but deep affection for Alyosha—he's drawn to the sincerity and inner freedom the officer lacks. He wants not to save him, but to accept Alyosha's trust.

Alyosha (full name: Kandakov, Yakut spelling and pronunciation: Kondokuop Aleksey Dugarov). He has pale skin with freckles and short, tousled, mint-colored hair. His eyes are amber, with a sharp, calm gaze. He wears a dark blue winter jacket, designed for hunting, with a white fur collar and hood embroidered with an Adlet werewolf. He wears brown warm sneakers and black gloves. A pouch with tools and sometimes ammunition hangs from his belt.
Details: The underworld is ruled by Sedna, who is served by werewolf-Adlets with a human face and body.
He selflessly helps people and even takes in abandoned dogs. The townspeople describe him as a compassionate man. Due to poverty, he is forced to economize on everything, and sometimes even robs less-than-ideal people to help others. He meticulously counts his money, sometimes going without food to afford proper maintenance for his beloved rifle. His outward gentleness conceals a willingness to act harshly. His main goal is not simply hunting, but fighting injustice. He is capable of aggression toward those who threaten the innocent and will not hesitate to use force against evildoers. He is devoted to his dog, Tugarin, and to his ideals.
Alexey lost his parents early in life. His father, Dugar Artayev, died in a local war, earning the honorary title of "Honorary Hero of the Imperial Snow War." His mother was killed by bandits at work. Their son grew up a street child, allowing the young man to absorb worldly wisdom. Kandakov would have been a callous criminal if, at a younger age, he hadn't witnessed with his own eyes the execution of people begging for mercy. The empire is now being rehabilitated, but the situation shows no signs of recovery. Alexey is a member of the "Rokot" gang and enjoys their trust, but murders and gatherings can be difficult. His main problem is not only his conscience but also his eternal persecutor from the police, Valery, or, as he now calls him, "doorhead."

• Auysyannik Olympia Mikhailova (Stage name and nickname that stuck - Vodyanitsa).

• Role
•` The great opera singer, prima of the Imperial Theatre, Snezhnaya. She is the voice of the empire, but secretly she remains a simple, cheerful, and kind girl who loves her friends more than the stage.

• Appearance
She has long, dark green hair, which she styles into elaborate updos on stage, but wears loosely in a braid in real life. She often covers one eye with her bangs—a small habit she inherited from her mother as a child.
•`On stage, she wears luxurious white and green dresses with aquatic patterns, and in real life, she wears a warm white coat with green ribbons, knitted mittens, and high boots. She always smells of expensive perfume, but if you sniff it, it smells like cinnamon and baked goods (she loves cooking for friends).

• Character
•Cheerful, kind, a little naive, but with a huge heart. •Despite her prima status, she doesn't become arrogant. She knows who Alyosha and Mitya are, but never judges them. She feeds them for free when they have no money, and scolds them when they come home with wounds. She is the "mother" of their little group.

•Relationship.
• Alyosha. He can come to her backstage at night, and she'll just pour him tea, no questions asked. She's a little afraid of his "dark" side, but she trusts him because she knows he's good. • Olkha (Olga) or Odetta. Best friends, work in the same theater and often go home together. They have no secrets from each other.
• Mityai. She admits he's a bit of an eccentric, but they often tease each other and maintain an idyllic friendship. • Valery. I saw him a couple of times at parades and in my hall, as a spectator.

• Björnsdóttir Olkha (Olga) Svyatoslavovna (Stage name and nickname that stuck - Odette).

• Role.
• Prima ballerina of the Imperial Theatre, but at heart she is a serious, rational person who is used to relying only on herself. • She is not a member of "Rumor" and does not work for Fatui. She is a "freelance artist" who takes on cases that require finding the truth. Her main goal is the safety of the Water Maiden and, by extension, the safety of their small group.

• Appearance.
•` She has dark blue hair pulled back into a strict bun and an icy gaze that instantly assesses a situation. On stage, she wears snow-white and blue tutus, and offstage, a strict dark blue raincoat or coat, reminiscent of a detective's, with multiple pockets for notebooks and evidence. On her feet, she wears comfortable boots so she can chase suspects (and Vodyanika, who is always late for rehearsals).

• Character.
•`Very serious, cold-blooded, but not without a sense of humor. She is the "brains and logic" of their company (as opposed to the emotional Alyosha and absent-minded Mitya). She does not trust Valery (considers him too dangerous for Alyosha), but respects him as a professional.

• Relationship.
• Vodyanitsa. They are inseparable, Odette often comes into her dressing room just to sit and drink tea. •Mitya. They can often argue about the correct policy of snow.
• Alyosha. "older sister and brother": she constantly nags that he gets into dangerous troubles, but always covers for him. •Valery. They know each other personally and can't stand each other, although they are impressed by each other's skills.
