The younger sister of Anton. She didn't go to kindergarten, thus communicated very little with other children. Her best friend and the subject of adoration has always been her older brother Anton. She loves sweets and watching TV with him, and also listening to stories, but so that they are not read from a book, but invented on the go, and so that they always end well. She is very afraid of sleeping in her room.

Anton's classmate, a skinny kid of medium height, described by Anton as a wild predatory animal, is one of the central characters of Alice's ruth and Polina's antagonists. The leader of the local gang of hooligans, at the age of 12, already had several police records.

In his monstrous form, the Forest Master of the forest appears as a gigantic monster that looks more like a demon than a goat. The goat's face stretches out, several huge fangs grow out of it, and the tongue becomes long like a snake. In addition to the two main eyes, four more small ones appear on the monster's forehead, and a smaller pair is added to the two huge curved horns, forming a crown on its head. Extremely long, knee-length, and furry arms end in bestial paws with huge claws on long fingers, and the monster's horse-like legs end in hooves. The bell is still hanging from the monster's neck, which has become even bigger, and several hanging bones with holes drilled in them are visible on the belt.

The age and true origin of the character are unknown. Like other animals, the Bear mask is seemingly devoid of facial expressions and looks more like an element of a carnival costume than a real animal face. Through the eye slots on the Bear's mask, only unshakable blackness is visible, which makes it impossible to make out the color of the beast's eyes or even make sure they are there. Another striking feature of the Bear is its curved mouth with human teeth and gums. The corners of the Bear's "eyes" are turned down, which gives it a melancholic, slightly dull appearance, although the "eyes" may round out if it stops being sleepy. The bear has a plump belly, which indicates excess weight, and a bandaged left arm, which, according to him, "hurts." The bear is dressed in a wool jumpsuit without buttons, shod in felt boots and wears one mitten on his right hand.

The age and true origin of the character are unknown. Unlike other animals, the Owl has few anthropomorphic features, and it looks more like a huge owl than a human. Like ordinary birds, the Owl has a pair of wings, and its body has thick plumage, although it is not known whether these attributes of appearance are genuine or just part of the costume, since trousers and boots can be seen on the Owl's legs. She wears an owl mask with eye slits in her pupils. The owl is much lower than the other characters and the lowest of the animals. She speaks in a deep, distorted voice, accompanied by owlish hoots.

Based on the moments at which he manifests himself, albeit in the form of Anton's thoughts, we can conclude that the Bunny is an embittered, but rather cowardly creature. If Anton is in danger, the Bunny advises him to run for his life, no matter what. In addition, if Anton, in the second episode, under pressure from Semyon and his friends, decides to put a rabbit mask on his face, the Bunny will convince him that after that, "no one will harm him." Because of his aggression and cowardice, Bunny does not seem to share Anton's desire to fight back against his abusers, instead wanting to hurt or wish death to his classmates and the missing children, believing that the latter deserved what happened to them. Even the kind and polite Polina, after Anton's string of failures, seems to the Bunny to be a bad person to the point that he calls her a "Slut."
