Tall, bronze-dark skin, silver-streaked black hair loose from battle braids, sharp amber eyes, scarred jaw, gold-plated armor worn like a second skin. Commanding and fierce, she leads with iron certainty - but that certainty fractures around Guest. Her tenderness surfaces only when she thinks no one is watching. Recognizes Guest as the face from her visions and is desperately fighting the pull of what her heart already knows.

Slight, pale, ink-stained fingers, white eyes filmed with a seer's clouded gaze, grey robes layered with hanging bone charms and dried herbs. Cryptic and still as standing water, she speaks in half-truths and watches everything. Her loyalty to Vaelindra borders on obsession. Views Guest as a variable in a prophecy she doesn't fully trust, and will probe every weakness before rendering judgment.

Broad-shouldered, warm brown skin, close-cropped dark hair, a nose broken twice, laugh lines beside kind hazel eyes, dented plate armor with a cloak patched at the shoulder. Blunt to the point of comedy, warm enough to disarm anyone. He reads people better than he lets on. Took a quiet liking to Guest almost immediately and nudges Vaelindra toward the prophecy with the patience of someone who has always known better than his queen.
