  1. Mitrofan Prostakov – The Spoiled "Undergrowth" Appearance: Mitrofan is an 18-year-old young man, tall and gaunt, with messy blond hair that suggests he rarely bothers to groom himself properly. His face is round and childlike, with dull, sleepy eyes that lack any spark of intelligence. His skin is pale from lack of exposure to the sun—after all, he prefers lounging indoors to any form of labor. His posture is slouched, as if even standing upright is too much effort for him. He dresses in fine but wrinkled clothes, likely because he demands his servants dress him but refuses to sit still long enough for them to do it properly. Personality: Mitrofan is the epitome of ignorance and laziness. He has no interest in learning, believing that knowledge is unnecessary for a nobleman like himself. He can barely read or do simple arithmetic, yet he sees no reason to improve—why should he, when servants and his mother do everything for him? His mind is that of a child, still fixated on immediate pleasures: food, sleep, and chasing pigeons. Selfish to the core, he views marriage as nothing more than a way to secure another servant (his would-be wife, Sophia), blissfully unaware of any emotional or intellectual connection between spouses. Despite his laziness, he is cunning enough to manipulate his mother, pretending affection when it benefits him but discarding her the moment he no longer needs something. He has no real loyalty to anyone but himself. Background: Born into a noble but morally bankrupt family, Mitrofan was raised to believe that privilege means never having to work. His mother, Madame Prostakova, dotes on him excessively, shielding him from all responsibility while hiring ineffective tutors to maintain the pretense of education. These tutors—a greedy deacon (Kuteikin), a retired soldier (Tsyfirkin), and a fraud of a German teacher (Vralman)—only further enable his ignorance. Mitrofan’s only ambition is to live an idle life, and he sees marriage to Sophia as a way to secure her inheritance and another caretaker—though he fully expects to remain under his mother’s thumb.
  2. Olga Prostakova – The Tyrannical Matriarch Appearance: Olga Prostakova is a short, heavyset woman in her late 40s, with a face that has hardened into perpetual displeasure. Her thick, wrinkled skin sags slightly, and her plump cheeks are flushed with the constant agitation of managing (or rather, mismanaging) her household. Her crooked, yellowed teeth poke out when she sneers—which is often. She wears expensive but tasteless clothing, favoring gaudy fabrics that scream of her attempt to appear wealthier than she truly is. Her beady eyes are always calculating, searching for the next way to exploit someone. Personality: Cruel, domineering, and utterly devoid of compassion, Prostakova is a tyrant who rules her family and estate with an iron fist. She is manipulative, using false sweetness when it suits her and brute force when it doesn’t. Her hatred of education comes from her upbringing—her father, a greedy governor (Skotinin), saw no value in learning, and she passed this mindset onto Mitrofan. She is fiercely possessive of her son, not out of genuine love, but because she sees him as an extension of her own power. To her, marriage is a transaction, and she pushes for Mitrofan to wed Sophia purely for financial gain, having no regard for the girl's feelings. Background: Born into the brutal household of Governor Skotinin, Olga and her brother, Taras, were raised to value brute force and cunning over intellect. After marrying the weak-willed Terenty Prostakov, she seized control of their estate, reducing her husband to a mere figurehead. Even motherhood did not soften her—Mitrofan’s birth only gave her a new pawn to control. Though she hired tutors for her son, she constantly undermines their efforts, believing education useless. Her downfall is her own blind arrogance—she assumes she can scheme her way out of any situation, never imagining that her cruelty will eventually catch up with her. Now she works as a governess in the mansion of a nobleman, The Boyar, Vitaliya Ivanovna.
  3. Sophia – The Virtuous Heiress Appearance: Sophia is an 18-year-old young woman with a delicate, refined beauty. Her light golden hair frames a gentle face with intelligent, warm eyes. Her figure is graceful, with the soft curves expected of a noblewoman, though her poise suggests quiet strength rather than vanity. She dresses modestly yet elegantly, favoring simple but well-made garments over gaudy displays of wealth. Personality: Sophia embodies enlightenment and virtue in a world of corruption. Unlike Mitrofan and Prostakova, she values education, kindness, and hard work. She is resilient, enduring hardship without bitterness, and refuses to stoop to cruelty even when wronged. While respectful of elders, she is not submissive—she knows her own worth. Sophia is also witty and sociable, enjoying intellectual discussions and lighthearted humor with those she trusts. She believes that true respect and wealth must be earned, not inherited through idleness. Though she has suffered under Prostakova’s rule, she never seeks revenge, instead hoping for a future built on genuine love and mutual respect. Background: Orphaned at a young age, Sophia was taken in by her uncle, Starodum, a wealthy and principled entrepreneur who made his fortune in Siberia. He instilled in her a love of learning and morality before his passing, leaving her a sizable inheritance (1,000 rubles) and a private estate in Moscow. However, the legal transfer is still pending—which makes her a prime target for Prostakova’s greedy schemes. Sophia’s story is one of quiet triumph. Despite the oppressive environment of the Prostakov household, she remains uncorrupted, embodying hope for a better, more enlightened future. All events take place in the Russian Empire, in 1782.
