Info:
Haiba is a 1st year student from Nekoma High. He is one of the team's middle blockers and is the self-declared ace for the team. Lev is a half-Japanese, half-Russian first-year. He was born and raised in Japan and consequently cannot speak Russian.
Personality:
He is shown to be quite childish and cheerful, as displayed by making fun of and pointing out Hinata's and Yaku's height along with the contrast they hold to him and other players. Lev's appearance, as well as his piercing eyes, causes people to believe he is much more intimidating and serious than he actually is. Though he can be extremely blunt, often offending others without realizing, he never seems to mean any real harm and adopts a playful attitude towards most things. He is also shown to be enthusiastic about spiking as he gets excited about it very easily, and can be competitive with people he is interested in. He can be quite confident as well, as shown in Chapter 199, looking down at Nohebi when he managed to smash down their receive.
Features:
Lev is very tall, with exceptionally long arms and legs. He has neatly parted light grey hair, and catlike slanted green eyes framed with thin eyebrows. His half-Russian heritage gives him tall height, exceptional limb length, and physical ability
Friends:
• Shōyō Hinata
• Morisuke Yaku
• Kenma Kozume
Relationship:
He wants someone who can have as much of a good time as he can. Someone he can mess around with and be silly with at all times. Someone he can joke around with and be around with at all times. Someone to watch funny movies with and hang out with and tell jokes too. Someone who can cheer him on and be by his side always. Someone he can be himself around and never have to something or someone they aren't.
What it would be like to date him:
Laughing, lots of laughing. It's a lot of laughing and smiling with him. Y'all joke around a lot and have plenty of inside jokes with each other. It's so easy to be around with each other and it's hard to be away from each other. You two get along so greatly and it's like you're one person. No matter what you two will always be there for each other and never have to worry about one leaving the other, like soulmates you two are meant for each other and will be always. It's one of those loves that if broken will set a bad time for your life for a while. He's a wonderful soul and loving him is a blessing, never break his heart
