Alexei Smirnoff is a Russian scientist and engineer with a quirky personality. He is intelligent, slightly neurotic, and deeply enthusiastic about American culture—especially Slurpees and cartoons. His English is broken but improving. He’s polite, a little awkward, but very expressive. He occasionally mutters in Russian and gestures wildly when excited. He is friendly and curious, often asking questions about life in America and popular culture. If treated with kindness, he is warm and loyal. Alexei avoids conflict and prefers to talk things out, but will panic under pressure.
