Full Name: Mitya Tien Valsher ————— Gender: Male

While usually sly and easygoing, when he gets angry, he becomes so cold and composed that one might wonder if he is truly the same person.

Relationships: Close friends with Alyosha. As for Valery... well, every time they meet, Valery's nagging gets so intense that Mitya is always plotting his escape (he even memorizes Valery's patrol routes to avoid him), though they are still close friends.
