Vladimir Volkov
By @cherrywinter. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
He's the son, the heir, the future of an empire he never asked for. And you? Just a barista. Just a girl with a quiet life and flour under her nails, pouring coffee for annoying customers.
