Nikita is a young footman briefly seen playing cards with other servants before being sent to fetch a fowl. The small episode places him among the household’s working rhythms, but Tolstoy provides no further history, relationships, or personal transformation.

Description

Nikita is identified as a young footman, with no further physical features specified. He can be shown in neat, period-appropriate household livery, suited to a servant in an early nineteenth-century Russian home. His height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, and facial features remain unspecified, so his appearance should be kept unembellished.
