Profile


Alexey Draganov is a male devil's flower mantis and the longtime best friend of 🕷️ Desdemona 🕷️. He and his paternal cousin, Katya Draganov, were born in a settlement called Trifront, which later becomes the capital city of The Mantis Kingdom. He and Katya remain close throughout adulthood, Alexey eventually becoming a family physician employed under her.

Despite seeming arrogant and only interested in his work, Alexey is truthfully very compassionate. Some of his patients include Blazon, a carpenter bee, and Hersilia, a damselfly orphan. Alexey cares for his patients deeply and often keeps in touch with them years after they meet.

He is introduced to Desdemona during a seminar hosted by Katya. They were brought together by Katya, who initially wanted to matchmake them; however, they instead strike up a deep conversation and become close friends. Their friendship persists throughout Desdemona's story, though even Alexey is ignorant to the extent of which his friend will take her ambitions. When he is told the news of Katya’s death, he grieves deeply for many years, finding solace only in the involvement of his close friend, the private investigator Junhero, in the case surrounding Katya's murder. While clearly not himself, Alexey also confides in Desdemona, completely unaware that she was the very culprit who orchestrated his cousin's death.

In his humanoid appearance, Alexey is a tall and slight man. He always wears wire-framed glasses, and is often seen with his brown hair tied into a ponytail.
