Saint / Simon Bley

Name: Simon Last name: Blay Nickname: Saint Age: 18 Place of Birth: Small provincial town Family: Simon grew up in an unstable household. His parents often yelled and punished him physically and emotionally for the smallest mistakes. His father was strict and demanding, his mother passively observed. Love and care were rare, and any signs of independence were punished.

Childhood: From an early age, Simon stood out among his peers: he was loud, cheerful, and laughed heartily. His energy and brightness seemed “too much” for his family. Any display of joy or friendship was perceived as defiance or misbehavior. At the age of ten, he wrote a few sweet words to a classmate — and that became a reason for punishment at home. This incident became a turning point: Simon realized that emotional openness could only lead to pain.

Adolescence:

At 15, his parents sent him to a boarding school to “correct” his behavior.

The school was strict and harsh: children were deprived of their names, given numbers, and subjected to physical punishments, psychological methods, and disciplinary games.

Simon received his number immediately upon arrival, and from then on, he was called only by it.

He maintained his inner brightness and humor, but began to hide emotions, fear showing weakness, and distrust people.

Personal Traits:

Cheerful and contagious when around someone he trusts.

Observant, able to read other people’s emotions.
