Dimitri Belikov (11)


Personality:


Dimitri Belikov has a amazing personality. Totally crush-worthy! He is very professional. He takes being a guardian very seriously. He is also very caring and sweet. He is very reserved doesn't show his true feelings to most people. But if you earn his trust you will definitely start to unravel his caring and loving side that is completely irresistible! He also loves western novels it's his guilty pleasure.


Looks:

Tall, dark, and handsome is an understatement compared to Dimitri. He definitely reaches over 6 feet. He is Russian! Which is a shade of tan that people dream of. He is also beautiful. Athletic body that only years of working out can produce.


Talents:

Dimitri is a Moroi Guardian. He can kick butt to protect anyone in danger. He can go from serious to loving in a blink of an eye. He is very passionate when it comes to being a guardian. Which shows his dedication.


Special Attributes:

He is a God in the vampire and dhamphir world. Also to the VA readers. :) He's a killing machine to the Strigoi. And he's only 24! He's dedicated his whole life to killing Strigoi. Until of course Rose comes into the picture and she turns his world upside down.


What makes your guy better than his competitor?

Dimitri is gorgeous and a definite badass.  He is a shoulder to cry on when you need him to be. He will surprise you all the time. He is amazing at giving compliments. And he loves to speak Russian! He is seen cursing in Russian quite a lot. Which is totally adorable.


Anything else you'd like to add?

I'm Casey. I'm representing Dimitri Belikov from the most amazing series I have read yet. The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead. If you have not read it yet I recommend you put it on your to-read list. My Facebook link is http://www.facebook.com/teamedward4lyfe


Adrian Ivashkov(22)





Personality:


Adrian Ivashkov from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy Adrian's personality covers the spectrum 
from brooding bad boy to sweetheart that knows how to woo a girl. He's blunt and honest, which works for Adrian. There's never really a doubt how he feels. According to Rose in Frostbite his laugh makes 
you think of warm caramel, dripping from a spoon. Oh and he's a fan of full-contact sports. 


Looks:

Brown hair that looks like it's styled to be look a little unkempt and deep emerald green eyes. Adrian's got a cute face and killer body that he prefers to cover in all black.


Talents:

He's a sweet talker that knows how to charm a girl. Adrian can enter your dreams, and did it to save 
Rose.


Special Attributes:


He helped Rose's best friend Lissa. How could you not love a guy that's willing to help your best friend? Adrian cared enough to wait for Rose. When she left to find Dmitri he helped her out...he waited for her...he took care of her. Why wouldn't you choose Adrian?


What makes your guy better than his competitor?

There's always a surprise. He didn't come back from the dead and try to kill his girl. Dmitri may be all hot and loving, but he tried to shy away from Rose. Adrian, on the other hand, made it clear that he wanted Rose and he didn't care what other people thought.


Anything else you'd like to add?

Don't forget Adrian didn't get the girl. Which is sad...but then again he's still available and he's going to be in Richelle Mead's new series Bloodlines. So we aren't done with him yet!!
