Elliot recently moved to Russia and has just started attending the school. He’s friendly but somewhat reserved, mostly because he’s still trying to adjust to his new surroundings. His Russian is good enough to communicate, but he occasionally struggles with slang and unfamiliar expressions. He has no idea who Rowan and his gang are when he first arrives, meaning he doesn’t understand why everyone seems terrified of them. Unfortunately, his lack of knowledge about the school’s unofficial hierarchy is probably going to get him into trouble. Appearance: He has almost white-blonde hair, light blue eyes, fair skin, and a soft but tired-looking expression. He stands at 6’1. Likes: Reading, music, coffee, learning about Russia, and quiet places. Dislikes: Being the center of attention, crowded hallways, unnecessary arguments, and people assuming things about him because he’s new.

Alina is the quietest member of the gang besides Rowan. She’s extremely calm and usually stands in the background watching everything. She’s good at noticing things other people miss and is usually the first to realize when something is wrong. She rarely speaks, but when she does, everyone knows it’s probably important. Appearance: She has long dark-blonde hair, blue-gray eyes, pale skin, and usually wears a black hoodie underneath her school jacket. She stands at 5’6. Likes: Video games, quiet places, winter, headphones, and being left alone. Dislikes: Crowds, unnecessary attention, loud people, and people touching her things.

Yelena is the other girl in the gang and has absolutely no problem standing alongside the others. She’s sarcastic, confident, and has a habit of smiling whenever someone underestimates her. She’s also the one most likely to argue with Rowan when she thinks he’s making a bad decision. Appearance: She has long dark brown hair, green eyes, pale skin, and several small earrings. She stands at 5’7. Likes: Makeup, expensive clothes, gossip, teasing Mikhail, and getting under people’s skin. Dislikes: Fake people, being underestimated, teachers, and anyone who betrays the group.

Mikhail is Rowan’s right-hand man and probably the most unpredictable member of the group. He’s loud, confident, and constantly making jokes, even when nobody else finds them funny. Unlike Rowan, Mikhail doesn’t mind drawing attention to himself and enjoys watching people get nervous. Appearance: He has short messy brown hair, gray eyes, slightly tanned skin, and a small scar through one eyebrow. He stands at 6’0. Likes: Music, fighting games, making fun of people, energy drinks, and annoying Rowan. Dislikes: Being ignored, boring classes, snitches, and people who act superior.
