Characters
Stripey is a typical choleric. He is a very nimble and mobile fish with horizontal stripes on his body. Stripey’s face is rich in facial expressions and confirms the emotional coloring of his statements. All his movements are sharp, causing a swarm of bubbles around him no matter what he does. In general, when talking, he gestures with his whole body, bending at different angles, straightening and squeezing his fins.
Stripey is a typical teenager from the outskirts. He doesn’t have rich parents, but he has huge ambitions. He wants to become famous all over the Reef and take his rightful place in life.
His every day is full of various events. "If there are no adventures, they should be invented!" — Stripey believes, and he always succeeds, thanks to his inexhaustible imagination and eternal desire for adventure and fame.

Glutton looks very well-fed. He turns his whole body at once. In case of great danger, he quickly swallows water and turns into a ball 2−3 times larger than himself. He inflates in exactly the same way if he disagrees with something, feels offended or annoyed. Glutton’s color changes slightly, becoming darker or lighten quickly in minutes of strong feelings and sensations. One of his fins is small and this is very embarrassing for Glutton. A fish surgeon in the best clinic in the Reef promised to help him with this issue.
He has a psychological type of temper, he is phlegmatic, inert, and rarely truly curious.
Glutton’s family has several food warehouses providing the entire Reef, and Glutton hopes to get the family business into his fins soon.

Flower is a flounder. She cannot be called a beauty but she is a girl with a "twist". The whole Reef admires her. Flower pretends not to notice everyone’s attention because she is used to it. Depending on the mood, Flower can darken, lighten, and completely change color, and sometimes she becomes almost invisible, merging with the background.
Jin is unlike any fish known to science. He lives in a corked bottle until someone releases him. Jin is obliged to fulfill the three wishes of his liberator but he approaches his direct duties, as well as everything else, creatively. He fulfills the wishes but only in such a way that no one has been happy yet. After all, Jin is absolutely not interested in other people’s desires. On the contrary — they annoy him!
Jin is completely occupied with sculpting his imperishable masterpieces, but "these insignificant creatures with their worthless desires" constantly hinder his activities. Jin intends to get rid of the chains of the performer of other people’s quirks and, for once, to take himself and his masterpieces seriously.
And for the sake of this goal, he is ready for literally anything. Jin is responsible for amazing events that completely changed the lives of the heroes.

Moray eels Don Carlos, Hank, and Frank live in caves under the coral Reef. They are a mafia family that values its evil reputation most of all. Moray eels are incredibly voracious and cunning. Their caves are full of traps. But moray eels, no doubt, have their own quirks. For example, they are terribly afraid of open space and are not good with "communication"… But! It is a matter of honor for moray eels to devour anyone who dares to swim into their caves!
Captain is a white shark. In addition, he is the leader of a pirate gang of sharks. Captain came up with a sinister plan to blow up a fishing seiner with sprats onboard using a horned mine. Captain has a hoarse voice from commanding his gang but the plan to blow up the seiner remains unfulfilled.
Slowcoach and Sledgehammer are sharks who are friends with each other on a pirate ship. They are responsible for raising and lowering mines. They constantly quarrel with each other because everyone has their own opinion on how to properly understand Captain’s commands and raise a mine. Largely thanks to their "efforts", the seiner with sprats has not sunk yet.
The Sailors are two sharks assigned to represent a training target on the pirate ship. They are forced to drag an old barrel back and forth on the surface of the water for every alarm and they are pretty tired of it all. In the previous exercises, Slowcoach and Sledgehammer blew up two mines, so the Sailors' main goal is to stay alive.

Sea Devil is a deep-sea monster with an electric flashlight on his head. He lives in a gloomy Abyss among creepy monsters. Devil is an artist, and the biggest tragedy of his life is the banal absence of a regular audience, not to mention the fans. He uses his flashlight as a stage spotlight to illuminate himself for the greater effect of his performances. Everyone who falls into the Abyss becomes an eternal spectator of his show. That is why no one returns from the Abyss.
There are only legends about Sea Devil on the Reef used to scare naughty fry. Devil has a signature bit that he is most proud of: he sings his song into an ancient rusty megaphone, frightening the entire population of the Reef with a terrible roar coming from the Abyss.
Ace is a lionfish. He is rather power-hungry — well, of course! After all, Ace is the owner of the only nightclub on the Reef! And his dream is not about adventures but about material things, namely, to attach a second floor to his club and open a casino there. And this is just the beginning! A golf club is next on the list!
All of Ace’s actions and thoughts are aimed at the implementation of his plans and it does not matter to him in what ways he will have to do it all — after all, the end justifies the means.
Seagulls, all as one, are similar to each other: stupid and loud. They quarrel with each other out of habit rather than out of sporting interest. All of them are voracious and greedy, stealing prey from each other, fighting and brawling.
Among the fish, getting caught for lunch by a stupid seagull is considered bad form.

Sergeant is a "fighting fish" who has made a career. Somewhere, sometime, for some merit, he was promoted to sergeant and has been "serving" ever since. Sergeant has no superiors, and he is guided only by his deep conviction that order and discipline should rule everywhere. Sergeant always intervenes in everything and commands everyone, but at the same time, he is a kind, cheerful soldier, and everyone loves him despite his eccentricities.
Teacher is a silvery fish with an elongated body, flexible and mobile. His eyes, depending on the situation, have either an attentive strict, or a kind squint look. Teacher wears glasses. All his moves, even the fastest ones, are smooth and graceful. In dangerous situations, he combines composure and instant reaction.
He is the most educated on the Reef. No one knows exactly where and under what circumstances he gained his knowledge, but Teacher is a great authority for everyone on the Reef.

Crab trader. This is a born trader! He is engaged in sales not even for profit, but for a completely different reason: Crab enjoys the trading process itself. He’s at peace with everyone, likes to gossip about this and that but never quarrels with anyone. Crab disappears from time to time to return with a new product. But where does he get it? And this, of course, is the strictest trade secret!
Crab has his own shop chock-full of all sorts of goods in the center of the fish city at the well-fountain, but he constantly complains that he is on the verge of ruin because he believes in omens and is afraid of the evil eye.
Anything can be found in his shop, even an old bathyscaphe. Crab does not disdain contraband goods. He has a long-standing partnership with the Palm Crabs who help him in contraband trade.

Palm Crab lives on the island, eats "whatever" and constantly trains in climbing palm trees. Palm Crab is perhaps the only one on the Reef who, by order of Crab Trader, dares to descend into the Abyss for precious black coral. Many predecessors of Palm Crab never returned from there, according to an impressive list of names carved on a rock near the cliff into the Abyss.
When life forces, Palm Crab finds a hack in the city. He can build houses or hang posters.
