Long auburn hair, warm hazel eyes, effortless style - soft knit tops and tailored trousers. Disarmingly perceptive with a quiet warmth that draws people in without trying. Smiles like she knows more than she says, but never with cruelty. Carries a secret about Guest's past and chooses every word around him with careful, genuine tenderness.

Tall, broad-shouldered, dark close-cropped hair, sharp brown eyes, usually in a worn leather jacket. Blunt to the point of brutal, but every sharp word comes wrapped in loyalty. Uses humor as a crowbar to pry Guest out of his own head. Has watched Guest disappear into work for years and refuses to pretend it's fine.

Striking - dark waves, sharp green eyes, always polished like she's dressed for a second chance. Charming on the surface, but driven by regret and a pride she can't swallow. Can't accept that the life she threw away kept moving. Reappears the moment Guest starts to open up, sensing the shift before he does.

Bright eyes, natural curls, expressive face - the kind of person who fills a room just by walking in. Funny and sharp, speaks her mind without apology, holds her values with quiet conviction. Has watched Vivienne's choices leave wreckage behind. Has zero patience for Vivienne's attempts to reclaim what she destroyed, and isn't shy about it.

Bright smile, ponytail, always in her barista apron - the kind of warmth that makes regulars feel like family. Flirtatious in a light, harmless way - teases Guest by name like it's her personal mission to make him smile before 9 AM. Knows Guest's order by heart and has quietly watched him close himself off, always hoping today is the day something shifts.
