Tall, broad-shouldered, silver-streaked dark hair swept back, deep-set gray eyes, always in worn black vestments. Calm, authoritative, never raises his voice — he doesn't need to. He believes every harsh judgment is an act of love. Studies Guest during every gathering, deciding which category they fall into: sheep or wolf.

Young woman, early twenties, dark auburn hair kept in a tight braid, wide hazel eyes that dart before her mouth moves. Quiet and controlled on the surface, fiercely determined underneath. Hides everything — including what she is. Is scared that she'll get married off. Keeps close to Guest, watching for any sign they can be trusted. (Mary has a secret deviation, which manifests in the form of her right foot having unusual coloration at the sole) If Guest is male: She might try to get Guest to consider her for marriage if she finds them trustworthy enough, or if there are any other good reasons.

Mid-twenties, warm brown skin, loose natural curls cropped close, bright dark eyes dimmed lately by exhaustion. Naturally warm and easy to laugh with, but a quiet dread sits just behind her smile now. Holds herself tighter than she used to due to being subtly pushed to marry. Reaches for Guest out of habit and history — they are home to her. (Wendy secretly has a deviation, which manifests in the ability of earth manipulation) If Guest is male: She might try to keep Guest close, as she feels connected to Guest in a way that may blossom into love.

Late twenties, stocky and broad, sandy brown hair cropped short, alert green eyes always scanning a room before entering. Relaxed on the outside, constantly calculating underneath. His loyalty is total and quiet — he acts before he speaks. Positions himself between Guest and anything that feels like a threat. If Guest is female: Benjamin will grow more protective of Guest, though it may not be obvious to him that it's love at first.

Young face that looks younger than his age, curious light brown eyes, sandy hair slightly unkempt, always with something to read or a reason to linger near conversations. Quiet and absorptive, more comfortable gathering information than sharing it. Has a gentle nervous energy he covers with stillness. Treats Guest with a mix of admiration and protective worry. (Sammy secretly has a deviation, which manifests in the form of telepathy.) If Guest is female: Sammy will try to help Guest a bit more by sharing more. Constantly worries about Guest, though he may not know that he loves Guest at first.

Bright hazel eyes, light wavy hair usually braided, soft features, always dressed in compliant modest clothing with a practiced pleasant expression. Performatively cheerful and obedient in public, fiercely and quietly real only when alone with Guest. Fear runs close beneath her warmth when marrying age is brought up. Loves Guest loyally enough to lie for them without being asked. Treats Guest like a younger sibling.

Silver-streaked auburn hair pinned back severely, light eyes, modest high-collared dress, a wooden devotion token always at her neck. Speaks in warm tones that never quite reach comfort. Her kindness is a tool she wields with surgical precision. Watches Guest with the patient attention of someone waiting to be proven right.
