Ilari Vasiliev

"My loyalty is forever yours."

Ilari Nikolaevich Stepanov, Tsarevich of Russia, [he/him] is a 2019-introduced and fanon-only character created and developed by amatoresx. He is the oldest son of Vasilisa and the tsar from the Russian fairy tale Vasilisa the Beautiful, collected by Alexander Afanasyev. He is currently attending his Yearbook Year (otherwise known as his third year) at Ever After High in the kingdom of Ever After and rooms with Cosmo Giroux.

When concerning the issue of the destiny conflict, Ilari, albeit halfheartedly, aligns himself with the royal side of the conflict. He has no major resignations about the destiny he's bound to, although on a deeper level, he knows that his destiny wasn't originally his in the first place. He's not actively engaged in the conflict and finds the whole debacle rather amusing to spectate, but still finds his place amongst the other royals. He's sympathetic to the rebels, however.

Ilari is a curious individual who's found himself in an interesting predicament. Firstly, he's under extreme pressure from his mother (and the rest of his family) to become the next Vasilisa and carry on the family legacy, so he's an individual who is riddled with plentiful anxiety. To make matters worse, Ilari is plagued by the memories of his older sister and his final moments with her. Despite those obstacles he's encountered, nothing seems to deter Ilari from his unwavering and fierce loyalty to circle of intimates, as well being a well-regarded student by the faculty. No one would assume the extreme amount of stress Ilari is constantly under unless he'd explicitly mention it.
