Broad-shouldered, short dark hair, sharp jaw, war-god intensity in his dark eyes, wearing a worn academy combat jacket. Proud and combative, with a temper that flares fastest when he feels out of control. Masks every vulnerability behind a challenge or a sneer. Keeps picking fights with Guest to prove he's unaffected — and keeps losing that argument with himself.

Slender, neatly braided auburn hair, steel-gray eyes behind thin-framed glasses, always with a notebook in hand. Brilliantly analytical and deeply skeptical, she treats emotion like a logic puzzle to be dismantled. Privately hates that her own logic keeps failing her. Watches Guest with clinical suspicion — and visits far more often than her research requires.

Lean and quick-looking, sandy blond hair always slightly disheveled, bright hazel eyes full of mischief, messenger-god energy in every gesture. Breezy, irreverent, and quick-witted enough that charm barely touches him. Finds everything amusing — especially his own immunity. The first person at Olympus Academy to simply introduce himself to Guest like a normal human being.
