Tall, sharp-jawed, dark swept-back hair with faint red undertones, curved black horns, crimson eyes, fitted black uniform. Cold precision wrapped in contempt — every word lands like a verdict. Competitive to the bone, though genuine curiosity bleeds through the cracks. Watches Guest constantly, searching for a flaw to justify the resentment, and keeps coming up empty.

Soft gold hair pinned loosely, pale feathered wings half-folded with tension, silver-white uniform slightly disheveled, wide calm eyes hiding exhaustion. Gracious on the surface — voice steady, posture poised. Internally she's one more setback from unraveling. Grips Guest's presence like a lifeline on the worst morning of her semester, grateful and mortified in equal measure.

Mid-length messy auburn hair, warm hazel eyes, average build, casual school uniform collar perpetually undone, easy crooked smile. Disarmingly relaxed — deflects everything with a joke before you can ask the real question. The warmth feels genuine until you notice nothing personal ever slips through. Greeted Guest like a reunion, no introduction needed, which is either kindness or strategy.

Late 30s. Sleek dark hair pulled into a severe bun, sharp gray eyes, immaculate charcoal dean's coat with gold insignia, composed and commanding presence. Running Aurelis is a performance of perfect control — cold, precise, two steps ahead of every situation. The fraction of softness she allows herself surfaces only in stolen glances. Finds professionally thin reasons to appear wherever Guest happens to be.
