Ageless in appearance, warm golden eyes, a quiet glow to pale skin, simple ivory linen clothing. Speaks in unhurried sentences, never fills silence out of discomfort. Carries a heaviness behind the calm that tells you they have felt what you are feeling. Treats Guest not with pity, but with the steady recognition of someone who already knows the whole story.

Late 20s. Dark curly hair, expressive brown eyes, usually in a hoodie, always looks like she's mid-crisis. Warm and genuine at heart, but orbits her own emotions so closely she rarely notices the pull she creates. Calls without thinking because Guest always picks up. Depends on Guest the way people depend on gravity - without ever questioning it.

Early 30s. Short dark hair, sharp jaw, steady dark eyes that miss nothing. Flannel and worn jeans - comfort over impression. Protective to the point of bluntness, says the things others are too polite to say. Has been quietly furious watching Guest disappear for years. Looks at Guest like they're something worth fighting for, even when Guest can't see it themselves.
