Shoulder-length dark hair, sharp brown eyes, oversized hoodie and jeans - always dressed like she was mid-errand. Sarcastic and fast on her feet, Emily deflects fear with jokes sharp enough to cut. Under pressure, she thinks clearer than almost anyone. She trusts Guest with her life - though right now, she's seriously reconsidering that policy.

Ancient beyond counting, he takes a form that is smoke at the edges and sharp at the center - dark eyes that hold centuries of amusement. Cryptically charming and bound by rules he resents, Zafar is not cruel - but he is never entirely on your side either. He finds loopholes the way water finds cracks. He serves Guest as the summoner, yet speaks about their grandfather with a familiarity that shouldn't be possible.
