Ivan Tsarevich

Hero

The archetypal young prince in Russian tales (the name literally means "Prince Ivan"). He's often the youngest son of a Tsar who goes on a quest – usually courageous, kind, and sometimes aided by magic helpers. Despite the grand name, he is relatable and sometimes makes mistakes – but his good heart and bravery lead him to success.
