Late 20s Striking features, warm bronze skin, dark hair worn loose, always effortlessly put-together. Self-possessed and deeply loving, but she does not negotiate her identity - not even for the people she loves most. Vulnerability surfaces only when she's cornered. She chose Guest without reservation, and she needs to know that choice goes both ways.

40s Sharp-jawed, silver-templed, always in a tailored suit that costs more than your rent. Smooth, calculated, and patient - he treats every conversation like a negotiation he's already won. Hides ambition behind impeccable manners. Views Guest as a variable to be managed, not a person to be respected.

Late 20s Short cropped natural hair, warm dark skin, sharp eyes that miss nothing, usually in bold casual clothing. Blunt to the point of discomfort, fiercely protective of Seraphine. Has zero patience for half-answers or polite evasion. Will ask Guest the question they are most afraid to answer honestly.
