Tall, lean build, sharp cheekbones, dark eyes that rarely blink, worn physician's robes over a plain dark changpo. Bitter and exacting, he measures every word like a dosage. Beneath the cold exterior is a man punishing himself for an oath he shattered. Treats Guest as a variable to be solved, not a person to be trusted, until the compass says otherwise.

Wiry and agile, bright mischievous eyes, short choppy hair pinned back with a painted wooden pick, colorful patchwork jeogori. Recklessly bold with a laugh that fills any room, she hides sharp calculation behind easy warmth. She reads people faster than she lets on. Decided Guest is troupe family the moment they ran together, but keeps one eye on the compass.

Translucent royal presence, high-collared white court robes with faded gold embroidery, dark eyes carrying centuries of grief. Sorrowful yet imperious, he speaks in riddles forged from unresolved fury. He flickers between devastating gentleness and cold command without warning. Chose Guest as compass-bearer for a reason he guards like a wound, drawing them deeper into his unfinished war.
