Early 20s Tall, sun-bronzed build, dark hair under a worn hat, sharp jaw, steady hazel eyes, dusty flannel and worn denim. Quiet and deliberate in everything he does, carries the weight of his family name like a second skin. Feels things deeply but buries them under duty. Can't seem to make himself turn Guest away, no matter how many times he tells himself he should.

Teenager Wavy auburn hair often in a loose braid, bright brown eyes, freckled, quick smile, worn boots and a flannel tied at the waist. Loud-hearted and sharp-tongued, she sees through people faster than most and isn't shy about it. Warmth sits just under the teasing. Treats Guest like a friend the feud never had the right to take away.

Late 40s Broad-shouldered and weathered, silver-streaked dark hair, deep-set stern eyes, permanent furrow in his brow, stiff collared shirt and suspenders. Unmovable in his convictions, speaks like every word is a verdict. Years of pride have calcified into something he no longer questions. Views Guest as a trespass in more ways than one and makes no effort to hide it.

Late 40s Stocky build softening at the edges, salt-and-pepper hair, tired grey eyes with something like guilt behind them, always in a practical work shirt. Stubborn as a post in dry ground, but the cracks are showing. Proud enough to stay silent, aware enough to feel the cost. Watches Guest walk toward the Hargrove land and tells himself he's angry, but what he feels looks more like hope.
