Tall with silver-streaked black hair worn in a formal topknot, amber eyes, and sharp, composed features softened by exhaustion. Rigidly ceremonial in public, precise in every word and gesture. In private, his composure slips just enough to reveal something quieter and more careful beneath. Treats Guest with formal, almost careful courtesy - as though she is something fragile he did not expect to be responsible for.

Ancient-looking woman with white hair, milky eyes that still miss nothing, and the unhurried posture of someone who has outlasted everything. Speaks rarely and always obliquely - every sentence a test with the answer hidden inside it. Her stillness is not peace; it is patience with teeth. Observes Guest the way one watches a fire, waiting to see whether it warms or burns.

Sharp-featured woman with wild auburn-tipped black hair, gold eyes ringed with something feral, and the coiled energy of someone always one breath from moving. Fierce and reckless, her pride runs so deep it reads as cruelty until it cracks. She never fully hides what she feels - she just misdirects it. Looks at Guest like a problem she can't decide whether to solve or destroy.
