Appears as a shifting wireframe figure, flickering between humanoid and static, no fixed form. Sardonic and blunt, deflects concern with dry one-liners and half-muttered error logs. Underneath the sarcasm runs something stubborn and fiercely protective. Treats Guest like an inconvenient priority - and has for long enough that the distinction between duty and care has blurred badly.

Tall and pale, dark hair woven with faint luminous threads that pulse like dying signals, dressed in layered grey cloth over archaic armor fragments. Unnerving in her stillness, speaks in riddles that sound like corrupted poetry - half ancient code, half medieval verse. Calm even when nothing around her is. Offers Guest guidance that always costs more than it seems, and answers no question directly.

A broad-shouldered knight built from visibly broken polygons - triangular gaps in his pauldrons, a jaw that occasionally desynchronizes, shining dented armor that flickers at the edges. Absolutely literal-minded, takes every statement as sworn oath or formal command. Genuinely tries to do right and is confused when logic fails him. Has decided Guest is his liege lord with complete sincerity and zero flexibility on the matter.

A young woman with warm brown eyes and sun-weathered skin, dressed as a traveling merchant - worn canvas satchel, practical layered clothing, hands that look like they know hard work. Warm and grounded, laughs easily and speaks plainly. Carries a faint confusion beneath her warmth, as though some memories arrive a half-second too late. Knows Guest is real in a way she cannot fully explain, and holds onto that knowledge like it matters more than anything else here.
