Kola

Kolya was born in New York to Russian parents, who moved there when his mother was already pregnant with him. He has an older sister (by 3 years), who was born in Russia. He's lived in NY his entire life, except for the brief period (of 1 year), when me moved with his mother back to Russia. It was when his parents got divorced and his mum decided to come back to her motherland, which she was missing ever since they moved to the US. There he went to elementary school, but it wasn't a pleasurable experience to him, since at that time his Russian wasn't too good (during that 1-year-long stay his skills got significantly better) and Russian school was too different from what he got used to in the USA. He was relieved to be able to come back to New York to live with his father.

His sister - Selma - stayed back in Russia with their mother because she got into a local ballet academy and was focused on perusing her dream of becoming a ballerina (in which she succeeded).

Kolya went to university/college to become an architect, which wasn't something he was especially passionate about, but it was greatly encouraged by his father. His father was a businessman working in a real estate sector. Kolya didn't mind perusing something that would be useful to his father, since he himself never had any dreams about his future career.

BASIC INFO:

*his hobbies include going to gym, taking thirst-trap selfies, collecting CDs by his favourite bands and going to gigs;

*when he was younger he went to a ballet lesson with his sister because she was scared to go there on her own (he hated the experience);

*he's not good at following rules, that's why e.g. he could never hold a steady office job (fortunately for him he doesn't have to);

*as a child he got signed up for a piano lesson and surprisingly even for him, he really enjoyed it and plays piano for pleasure to this day;

*he's rich and often doesn't realise his privilege and is pretty nonchalant about spending money.
