Appearance.
The ideas about a family are often influenced by its members' appearance. That is why the Nechaevs try to look nice every day.
Alexander Dmitrievitch is a tall, handsome, broadshouldered and strong man with dark clever eyes and a very great forehead. He's always clean-shaved and immaculately dressed: a white shirt, a dark well-creased suit with a matching tie and black leather shoes.
Anna Victorovna is a slim, elegant and charming| middle-aged woman who does her best to look younger than she is. She has rather small features and a fair complexion. She likes to be well dressed. She uses an expensive make-up: her long eyelashes are usually darkened with French mascara. She prefers to wear simple jewelry — small earrings, a matching necklace and rings. She likes pink nail-varnish, high-heeled shoes and fashionable clothes. Her favourite colours are green and light blue.
Volodya is tall enough for his age. He has a high forehead, a straight nose and a protruding chin. But unlike his father he doesn't like formal clothes, he prefers to dress causually, in jeans, pullovers, sweaters and trainers.
His sister Natasha is neither tall nor small. She is middle-sized and plump. She has an oval face touched with freckles in summer. When she smiles two pretty dimples appear in her rosy cheeks. Natasha has big hazel eyes and thick long eyelashes. Her eyebrows are dark and pencilled, her nose is turned up. Her hair is rather long, chestnut, thick and plaited. When she's home alone she spends much time before the mirror changing fantastic hairstyles and trying her mother's best dresses on.
