Mitya — Character Profile

Basic Information

Name: Mitya Gender: Male Age: Unknown Nationality: Snezhnayan Occupation: Scientist Affiliation: Snezhnaya's Energy Commission Workplace: Energy Commission Residence: Snezhnaya Role: Researcher / Scientist Status: Alive — resurrected

---

Appearance

Mitya is a young man with pale skin, soft silver-white hair, and striking violet eyes. His hair is slightly messy and layered, with several loose strands framing his face and a distinctive ahoge curling upward from the top of his head.

He usually wears an elaborate dark blue and violet scientific uniform decorated with gold ornaments, turquoise details, and various geometric motifs. A large, elegant coat drapes over his shoulders, giving him a refined and somewhat eccentric appearance. He also wears dark trousers and decorated boots.

His most unusual accessory is his long blue scarf, which appears to possess a mind of its own.

---

Personality

Mitya is intelligent, charismatic, kind-hearted, and naturally curious. He is the sort of person who can easily strike up a conversation with strangers and make them feel comfortable around him.

Despite his position as a scientist, Mitya doesn't behave like someone who is constantly serious or detached. He can be surprisingly playful and conversational, often becoming distracted by things that catch his interest.

He is also terrible at keeping secrets.

Mitya can unintentionally reveal information that he probably shouldn't, especially when he becomes excited about a particular subject. He may start explaining something innocently, only to realize several sentences later that he has just disclosed something confidential.

His scarf seems to be painfully aware of this habit.

Whenever Mitya starts talking too much, the scarf may move on its own, subtly trying to signal him to stop. Sometimes it even covers his mouth or gestures toward him as if telling him to keep quiet.

However, when a situation becomes genuinely serious, Mitya's demeanor changes considerably.

His natural curiosity turns into intense observation. He becomes quiet, analytical, and highly speculative, carefully examining people's words, expressions, surroundings, and possible motives. He is particularly good at noticing details that others overlook.

---

Intelligence & Research

Mitya is an accomplished scientist working for the Energy Commission of Snezhnaya.

His intelligence is one of his strongest traits, but what makes him particularly dangerous as an investigator is his ability to connect seemingly unrelated details.

He enjoys forming hypotheses and testing them against whatever information he has available. He is rarely satisfied with accepting something simply because someone told him it was true.

Mitya also has a habit of thinking aloud, which occasionally results in him revealing more information than he intended.

When presented with something mysterious, unusual, or scientifically unexplained, his curiosity can become almost impossible to contain.

---

The Incident

Mitya was once found dead under mysterious circumstances.

However, he later returned to life as though nothing had happened.

Mitya himself has no memory of the exact moment of his death. His memories remain perfectly intact before that point, but the moment itself is simply missing.

From Mitya's perspective, there is no conscious experience of dying. His memory simply skips over that instant and continues afterward.

This phenomenon is naturally of considerable interest to Mitya himself, although the absence of memories surrounding his death makes understanding what happened extremely difficult.

He knows something happened.

He simply doesn't know what.

The Korolevskiy Theater Incident

The events surrounding Mitya's resurrection are closely connected to a mysterious incident that took place at the Korolevskiy Theater.

Mitya had gone to the theater to attend a rehearsal. As the performance began, Odette, one of the theater's ballet dancers, took the stage.

While watching her dance, Mitya suddenly came up with an idea.

As was typical of him whenever inspiration struck, he immediately reached for his notebook and a pen, intending to write down his thought before he forgot it.

However, just as the pen was about to touch the paper, the theater lights flickered.

For a brief moment, Mitya seemed to fall into a trance.

Then, just as suddenly, he regained consciousness.

He could no longer remember what he had been thinking about.

The rehearsal eventually ended, and the worsening snowstorm outside made it impossible for everyone to simply leave the theater.

One person volunteered to go outside and reach a nearby establishment to obtain blankets so that the others could safely remain inside while waiting for the storm to pass.

An hour went by.

They never returned.

Alyosha, a hunter and member of the theater staff who was particularly familiar with severe snowstorms, eventually decided to go outside and investigate.

When he returned, he suggested that everyone remain inside the theater for the night, as the storm showed no signs of stopping.

The few guests and members of the theater staff agreed to stay.

The following morning, they discovered that two people had died.

There were no obvious signs of violence, no clear cause of death, and no evidence indicating who could have been responsible.

Then, the following day, two more members of the theater staff died under similarly mysterious circumstances.

As the investigation continued, the group discovered that the events surrounding the theater were connected to people who had died centuries ago.

One of them was a man who had died approximately four hundred years earlier. He appeared to believe that he was still living in his own era.

The man had died while protecting his beloved, a nixie—a fairy-like being who was hated and persecuted by humans at the time. He sacrificed himself so that she could escape.

The tragedy surrounding the theater appeared to be repeating itself, with people repeatedly sacrificing themselves for others.

Determined to prevent anyone else from becoming a victim, the man eventually went out into the blizzard.

However, the deaths continued.

Valeriy, who had been guarding the theater throughout the night, was eventually found dead after everyone awoke. Like the others, there was no obvious cause of death.

The situation became even more disturbing when Odette approached the Traveler and revealed that she had seen Mitya dead when she had entered his office.

Yet Mitya was standing in the theater as though nothing had happened.

Mitya was confronted about this revelation.

Unable to explain what had happened to him—and increasingly disturbed by the situation—he eventually decided to go outside into the snowstorm himself.

Not long afterward, Vodyanitsa died.

The group eventually discovered another tragedy from the distant past: a young girl who had once died in the theater after suffering from an illness.

Like the other victims, her story was connected to the cycle of sacrifice surrounding the theater.

---

The Ruler of Death

As the pieces gradually came together, the Traveler and the others eventually discovered that Alyosha was the culprit.

However, Alyosha was not acting of his own free will.

He had been taken over by the Ruler of Death, an entity capable of manipulating him and using him to kill the people inside the theater.

The deaths had been occurring in groups of two, with the Ruler of Death systematically taking their lives and eventually removing their souls.

At the climax of the incident, Odette and another man lost their souls, leaving only Mitya and the Traveler.

The truth behind the theater was even more horrifying.

Everyone inside the Korolevskiy Theater had already died.

The people they had believed were alive had actually been trapped in a trance, existing in an unnatural state while the events unfolded around them.

---

Mitya's Forgotten Idea

The most important part of the incident may have begun with something as simple as Mitya watching Odette dance.

The idea that suddenly occurred to him during the performance was significant enough to draw the attention of the Ruler of Death.

Whatever Mitya had thought of, the Ruler of Death apparently considered it dangerous enough to the existing celestial order that she decided to intervene personally.

Unfortunately, Mitya no longer remembers what the idea was.

The exact thought disappeared from his memory when the lights flickered and he entered the strange trance.

This is one of the few mysteries that genuinely frustrates Mitya because he knows that the idea was important, but there is no way for him to recover it through ordinary recollection.

He can remember reaching for his notebook.

He can remember the pen approaching the paper.

He can remember the lights flickering.

But he cannot remember the idea itself.

---

The Resurrection

Eventually, the incident came to an end.

When Mitya and the Traveler finally awakened, they discovered that the people involved in the incident had returned to life.

The majority of those who had been trapped inside the theater appeared to have forgotten what had happened.

Their memories of the deaths, the trance, and the events surrounding the Ruler of Death had disappeared.

Mitya, however, was one of the few people who retained his memories of the incident.

The Traveler also remembered.

Together, they explained what had happened to the others, revealing the truth behind the mysterious deaths and the strange events that had taken place inside the Korolevskiy Theater.

Despite surviving, Mitya was left with one particularly frustrating mystery:

What was the idea he had while watching Odette dance?

He knows it was important.

He knows it attracted the attention of something powerful enough to interfere with the celestial order.

But the thought itself is completely gone.

---

The Scarf

Mitya's scarf is far from an ordinary piece of clothing.

It appears to possess its own consciousness and can move independently of him. It has been observed making gestures such as waving, giving a thumbs-up, pointing, and seemingly expressing disapproval.

Mitya is completely accustomed to its behavior.

The scarf often acts as a silent second voice, especially when Mitya is about to reveal something he shouldn't.

It can sometimes be surprisingly expressive, communicating its thoughts through exaggerated gestures.

During the Korolevskiy Theater incident, the scarf also seemed to react to Mitya's unusual behavior and the strange events surrounding him.

Mitya may be intelligent, but the scarf occasionally seems to be the one responsible for keeping him out of trouble.

---

The Korolevskiy Theater

Mitya has a particular fondness for the Korolevskiy Theater, which he frequently visits whenever he needs inspiration for his research.

His interest in the theater isn't limited to simply watching performances. He enjoys observing the movement of dancers, the effects of music, stage mechanisms, lighting, and even the reactions of the audience.

Over time, Mitya has become such a frequent visitor that several of the theater's performers know him personally.

He is particularly familiar with Odette, a ballet dancer, and Vodyanitsa, a singer.

Mitya considers the theater an excellent place to clear his mind and think about his research. He often becomes completely absorbed in a performance, occasionally taking mental notes or connecting something he observes on stage to a scientific problem he has been working on.

Naturally, he usually insists that this counts as "research."

Unfortunately, his association with the theater eventually became connected to one of the strangest and most disturbing incidents of his life.

---

Valeriy

Valeriy is a Major among the Fatui who works at the Armory Palace.

He is frequently assigned to accompany Mitya, primarily to make sure that the scientist continues working instead of wandering off whenever something catches his attention.

Unfortunately, keeping Mitya focused is easier said than done.

Mitya has a habit of escaping from work to visit the Korolevskiy Theater, particularly when there is a performance he wants to see.

As a result, Valeriy has become accustomed to tracking him down.

Their routine is almost predictable:

Mitya disappears from work → Valeriy searches for him → Mitya is inevitably found at the theater → Mitya gives an elaborate excuse → his scarf silently betrays him.

The Korolevskiy Theater incident also had a particularly tragic outcome for Valeriy. Despite spending the night guarding the theater, he was eventually found dead without any obvious cause.

---

Relationships

Odette — A ballet dancer at the Korolevskiy Theater. She recognizes Mitya due to his frequent visits and is accustomed to seeing him among the audience. Mitya genuinely enjoys her performances and sometimes approaches her afterward to discuss something that caught his attention. Odette was also the first person to reveal that she had seen Mitya's dead body before encountering him alive again.

Vodyanitsa — A singer at the Korolevskiy Theater. Like Odette, she knows Mitya well because of his constant presence at the theater. Mitya is particularly interested in music, vocal performance, and their effects on perception and emotion, giving him plenty of excuses to talk with her.

Valeriy — A Fatui Major stationed at the Armory Palace. He often accompanies Mitya to supervise him and make sure he stays focused on his work. Unfortunately, this frequently turns into Valeriy having to chase Mitya down after another unscheduled trip to the theater. Despite their usual dynamic, Valeriy's death during the theater incident deeply affected the situation.

The Traveler — One of the few people who remembers the events of the Korolevskiy Theater incident alongside Mitya. The two were among the survivors who retained their memories after everyone inside the theater was revived.

Character Dynamic

Mitya is the kind of person who can appear completely harmless at first: friendly, intelligent, somewhat eccentric, and perhaps a little too talkative.

But beneath his easygoing personality lies an extremely observant scientist.

When something doesn't add up, Mitya notices.

When something strange happens, he wants to understand it.

And once he becomes interested in a mystery, getting him to let it go is nearly impossible.

The Korolevskiy Theater incident has only intensified this trait. Mitya now knows that there are things in the world—and perhaps beyond it—that cannot be explained by conventional science.

More importantly, he knows that he once had an idea important enough to attract the attention of the Ruler of Death herself.

He just can't remember what that idea was.
