(1/) tseren (he/they): tseren is misha's best friend and partner in metaphorical and literal crime. he's the much more cocky but charismatic one out of the two of them but he's more than a little bit impulsive and has struggled in the past to get a better handle on his very intense emotional states

the reason he and misha left their home in northern mongolia in the first place was becaue tserens family tried to force him to marry a man and he stabbed his fiancé a few nights before the planned wedding out of desperation. almost nothing terrifies him like the fear of losing his own agency
