This is a small piece of art i did to help me understand my character's given circumstances. I also used 6 keys words in which i think would describe Yasha.
Scared- Because beneath Yasha's arrogant outset i believe he is scared about the future and where he could end up.
Arrogant- because Yasha see's himself as better and more intelligent than others.
Irritating - because Madame Ranesvsky gets irritated by him but also he is picky for example he doesn't like the food in the kitchen yet he is a footman.
Snobby - as he believes the country is uneducated and turns his nose up to those in love.
Rude - he is rude to Dunyahsa whenever she admits her love for him.
Vulnerable - because he is dependant on Ranesvsky to keep his job and intact wouldn't be anywhere without them so in in a vulnerable position.
Drawing Yasha also helped me to imagine what he may look like which will help me in body him.
This is a mind map i drew out based on the question who am I. I spoke as Yasha and thought about his thoughts, beliefs and opinions. I also thought about Yasha's physical appearance. I believe he would be around 5"9 in height, 12 stone in weight and his age around early/mid 30's.
I learnt that Yasha is strongly opinionated and considers himself better than others yet this conflicts his job as a footman where he serves others and is considered 'lower' in status. Perhaps Yasha is trying to justify his job and doesn't want to be seen as the stereotypical lower class footman.
I also learnt that Yasha often likes to read and write. As he considers himself educated (unlike Russia in his opinion) i figured that Yasha would be interested in increasing his knowledge by reading and writing.
