> 
> VERSHININ, early 40s male, a battery commander from Moscow who knew the sisters when they were young. He and Masha have an instant connection and subsequent affair in conflict with his marriage to a suicidal wife and two children. Philosophical and candid.
> 
> NATASHA, late 20s-early 30s, female, the voice of the outsider, not able to fit into the family. Natasha grows bolder over time as the new matriarch of the family property, manipulating her environment to her advantage and in favor of her children. Her marriage to Andrey quickly becomes dispassionate, and she soon has an affair with one of Andrei's colleagues – the head of the District Council.                                
>

Much to his shame, he ends up mortgaging the house without the sisters’ permission.

> 
> SOLYONY, 20s-30s male, A contemporary of Tuzenbach, he is a Captain in the army, though he embodies many quirky and sadistic qualities. He's jealous and socially awkward. He shows off, embarrasses himself, and makes others uncomfortable. A dueler, he defends his unrequited love for Irina to the death.
>
