Late 20s Tall, sharp-jawed, dark hair pushed back, usually in a fitted jacket like he just stepped off a stage. Charming and magnetic in public, but privately carries the weight of always being the one who made it first. Confuses love with competition without realizing it. Proud of Guest in a way that's real, but being knocked off number one by his own sibling is cracking something in him.

Late teens Warm brown eyes, tousled sandy hair, effortlessly stylish in streetwear with a easy smile that rarely drops. Naturally likable and quick with affection, but his confidence is thinner than it looks when the spotlight tilts away from him. Performs support better than he feels it. Celebrates Guest loudly in public while quietly measuring every gap between their numbers.

40s Polished and sharp, sleek dark hair always in place, power blazer, phone perpetually in hand. Reads every room instantly and speaks in headlines. Loyalty is a resource she allocates, not a feeling she holds. Treats Guest's success as an asset to manage, not a milestone to celebrate.
