Appearance
Nikita is tall, with long platinum hair and blue eyes. He wears an ornate purple vest over a red shirt and brown shorts. Around his neck is a purple ascot. He has no left leg from the knee down - in its place is a metal prosthesis.

Personality
Nikita is an optimist and a wide-eyed idealist. He feels that things are bound to go wonderfully, even when they clearly won't. He tries to keep a positive face, but he is sensitive about his metal leg. He is also fond of magic and loves using it to add exotic flavors to ice cream (he is a big fan of ice cream).

Despite his appearance, Nikita is actually quite skilled at sports. He is good at polo, running, and figure skating - he has special skates for his fake leg.

Biography
Hello! I'm Nikita Milanov.

My father Milan was the son of King Kojata. His father had made a bargain before he was born, and when Milan was older, he was to pay it. Dad found a lake with thirty ducks, which changed into women. The youngest, Hyacinthia, asked him to give back her clothing. She aided Dad against her father and led him to a town. She told him the king and queen would lead out a child, but he must not kiss it. He did anyway and forgot about her. They eventually got back together and went back home.

I am the younger of two children. My sister, Natalya, is four years older. I am doing pretty good. I live with my parents and my paternal grandparents. My maternal grandfather died when I was little, and his daughters have all gotten married to handsome men from my father's kingdom. I have over sixty cousins in all - my family is so big, I forget nearly half the people.

I'm looking forward to my destiny. I think I will be able to outwit a magician and hopefully rescue a beautiful maiden. Though I don't want to kiss someone else and forget all about my love. Sometimes I go hunting in the woods around my father's palace, and sometimes I go to the lake where Dad found the enchanted ducks. I think it's best to be familiar with one's surroundings when following your destiny.

I am good at telling things apart - people say I'm always right when it comes to guessing games. I am a big fan of guessing games - and tongue twisters.

One thing that I have difficulty with is my metal leg. I feel like that a lot of people treat me like I'm incapable of doing things myself or trying to help me with things I don't need help with. I tell them that a metal leg is not too much different from a real one. Unfortunately, magic cannot make me grow a new leg, so I accept what I have.
