fyodor,

despite all that, he's still a generally optimistic character. or, at least when it comes to love. he's a cynic waiting for a hot French chick to steal his heart. he's an idealist and a cynic at the same time--take that final scene on the trail platform, for example. they won't write, b/c then all the romance and magic will be taken out of it, but they still plan to meet back there 6 months later. a "sceptical, untrusting, pessimistic character" would never do that.
