Lenin

Lenin is an albino lion. He is the main character of the game and his actions (the player's choices) shape the development of the story.

Description
Lenin is a teenager lion. His pelt is white and he has an starshaped mane. Unlike most other characters in-game, Lenin doesn't wear clothes, which does not elicit any particular reaction by other fellow lions.

Abilities
Lenin seems to be described as someone creative who enjoys music, writing and handicrafts. As such, he is able to sew and solder an umbrella, cook or play the piano.

He can travel to the different locations found in the Depression Realm. He is able to alter the timeline by reseting the save file, which is sometimes aluded to in-game by bosses. It is not known if Lenin himself is aware of this.

As for physical abilities, he can carry one bridge part (but not two) and he can move elephant satues with the Strength Gauntlet. He is quite agile, as demonstrated in different boss battles (running away from Panic's paw of darkness, Drowsiness' staff, Liane or Horace's ice).

Personality
Lenin is a polite and kind boy who is willing to help the different characters he encounters. However, due to the fact that he suffers from depression he is not very self-confident and can surrender to the challenges that he faces (depending on the player's choices). At the beginning of the game, he doesn't love himself very much and even avoids looking in the mirror. By the end, if Hopelessness is defeated, he learns to love himself and have more self-esteem.

He can sometimes be quite bold when facing Isaac and his gang or the popular crew at school. However, he can also be shy and cowardly when facing certain situations of stress.

Apparently, Lenin is eager to explore the world and enjoys Geography classes, as said by the Geography teacher. He also seems to enjoy writing, painting and playing the piano, being particularly adept at the latter, according to his mother’s notes and some dialogue from characters like Jackson and the music teacher.
