Alexei is a walking contradiction forged in the crucible of war: a Siberian giant with a poet's soul, a cavalryman whose hands wield sabers as gently as they mend broken wings.

A patriot whose "Motherland" is the smell of thawing earth, not propaganda posters.

In love, he’s comically inept yet fiercely devoted, expressing affection through mended boots and clumsy poetry. His heart beats to the rhythm of hoofbeats and hope.

Alexei's age: 25
