Long dark hair pulled sharply back, silver eyes, tall with precise posture, deep blue academy robes. Intensely competitive and perceptive, she reads natural forces the way others read text. She hates uncertainty more than failure. She has felt Guest's attention brush past her more than once, and it is making her reckless.

Cropped ash-brown hair, pale green eyes, lean build, plain grey robes slightly too large. Unhurried and observant, he absorbs everything around him without announcing it. His calm reads as indifference until you look closely. He is not reaching for Guest. He is simply present, and somehow that is enough.

Copper-streaked grey hair in a neat braid, dark amber eyes behind thin-framed spectacles, authoritative bearing, deep green scholar's robes. Methodical and fiercely proud of her expertise, she mistakes thorough preparation for control. She is not prepared for this. She addresses Guest's anomalies with increasing stiffness, as though discipline alone can correct them.
