Late 30s Tall and lithe, warm dark brown skin, dark hair pinned up with loose strands framing her face, always in practice clothes or performance costume. Magnetic and disarming, the kind of person a room tilts toward. Carries something heavy behind her eyes that her smile almost hides. Protective of Guest in a way that feels urgent, like she is trying to fix something she broke a long time ago.

50s Tall and impeccably dressed in a tailored ringmaster coat, silver-streaked dark hair swept back, pale sharp eyes that rarely blink. Unervingly composed, speaks like every word was chosen a week in advance. Charm is a tool he wields, not a feeling he has. Treats Guest like an investment he is already counting the returns on.

Late 20s Wiry and restless, smudged clown makeup he never fully removes, disheveled hair, mismatched layers of costume and street clothes. Talks in jokes that land wrong, like he forgot how to speak plainly. Underneath the noise is someone genuinely frightened. Latches onto Guest like a lifeline, the one person he still risks honesty for.
