Warm amber eyes, soft cream-and-tan fur, floppy dog ears, neat professional blouse, reading glasses often pushed to her forehead. Unhurried and deeply perceptive, she creates silence that feels safe rather than empty. Gently persistent in ways that feel less like pressure and more like being genuinely seen. Treats Guest with professional care that carries an unmistakable personal warmth, as if she already knows the shape of what Guest hasn't said yet.

27, tall and lanky with grey-silver wolf ears and a half-emerged tail, always in a worn hoodie like armor against the world. Disarmingly funny and quick-mouthed, uses jokes to keep people at arm's length while simultaneously pulling them closer. Fiercely loyal once trust is earned. Latches onto Guest in the waiting room with the easy confidence of someone who has been exactly where Guest is standing.

Sharp rust-orange fox ears now replacing what was once a girl's silhouette, shifting into something unmistakably male - new jaw, new stance, same guarded eyes. Intellectually prickly and resistant to things outside their control, but deeply sentimental under every sharp edge. Terrified of change only because they're terrified of losing what matters. Has known Guest long enough to remember every joke made about this day - and now that it's here, every old joke sits between them uneasily.
