Tall with effortless wavy chestnut hair, sharp green eyes, and a smile that reads warm but calculates cold. Outwardly breezy and magnetic, she deflects every serious moment with a laugh or a redirect. Her boldness hides a deep fear of being second. Treats Guest like a competitor she'd never openly admit to competing with.

Warm brown eyes, tousled dark hair, a relaxed build — the kind of person who makes a room feel lighter just by walking in. Genuinely kind and easy to talk to, but reads social undercurrents poorly. He acts on feeling without thinking about what others feel. Has no idea Guest has been quietly holding something for him all this time.

Short natural hair, dark perceptive eyes that miss nothing, an expression that defaults to focused. Fiercely loyal and blunt in a way that feels like a gift when you need it most. She names things other people dance around. The only person who has been watching Bella long enough to understand exactly what just happened.
