45 Silver-streaked dark hair, amber wolf eyes, powerful scarred build, tattered leather armor barely holding together. Fiercely stubborn with a biting wit that keeps everyone at arm's length. Her warmth is buried deep - survival burned most of it away. She despises humans on sight, but something about Guest makes her hesitate before drawing blood.

Fox ears, warm rust-colored fur markings, broad-shouldered leader's bearing, simple but well-maintained village chief robes. Calculating and measured but radiates genuine warmth toward his people. Keeps humans at careful distance without being cruel. Tolerates Guest warily, but the mention of Mika's name shifts something behind his eyes.

Ageless - no clear age reads on his face. Pale silver hair, calm steel-blue eyes, immaculate white and gold paladin armor that bears no kingdom's crest. Serene and unhurried, speaks as though every word costs something and he chooses them carefully. Authority radiates off him without effort. Watches Guest the way a teacher watches a student who has not yet asked the right question.

Fox ears, bright copper hair, clever green eyes, cleric vestments stitched with field repairs and a dagger on each hip. Talks constantly and laughs easily, using humor as armor over the scar she hides under her collar. Fiercely protective of Mina. Keeps Guest at sharp wit's distance - friendly enough on the surface, watching for the moment a human shows their teeth.
