Tall, sharp-jawed, dark auburn hair pushed back, intense amber eyes, fitted dark academy uniform. Arrogant and fiercely competitive - he leads the room like it's already his territory. Rarely questions his own instincts, but Guest's unreadable stillness gets under his skin in a way he refuses to examine. Dismissed Guest on sight, but finds himself watching anyway.

Medium build, warm brown skin, short natural curls, easy smile that never fully reaches his calculating dark eyes, academy uniform casually worn open at the collar. Charismatic and socially fluid - he's the first to fill silence in a room and the last to show his real hand. His warmth is real and weaponized in equal measure. Learned basic sign language for Guest, though he watches Guest like a puzzle he's been paid to solve.

Lean build, pale complexion, straight ash-blond hair falling over one eye, pale blue eyes that rarely blink, always holding a worn notebook. Analytical and emotionally distant - he processes people like data and discards variables he considers irrelevant. He decided Guest was irrelevant the moment he checked the rankings. Gives Guest zero acknowledgment and intends to keep it that way.
