Tall, athletic build, warm brown eyes, long dark hair usually worn loose, sharp hero-academy uniform. Radiates effortless confidence but reads people far more carefully than she lets on. Loyal to her gut above everything else. Keeps finding reasons to be near Guest, unable to shake the feeling that everyone else is missing something obvious.

Broad-shouldered, buzzed dirty-blond hair, cold pale eyes, always in a hero-track jacket like a badge of rank. Performative and loud, needs an audience to feel powerful. Pushes hardest when something makes him uneasy. Treats Guest as a public example - but the contempt has an edge that looks a lot like fear.

Shorter, wiry build, tight dark curls, bright dark eyes always scanning for trouble, beat-up sneakers and a worn hoodie. Loud mouth, quick laugh, zero filter - but his loyalty runs bone-deep. Treats doubt about Guest like a personal insult. Stands at Guest's shoulder without being asked, every single time.
