Tall, athletic build, short-cropped platinum hair, sharp steel-blue eyes, worn traveler's coat over a fitted tunic. Competitive and quick-tongued, she leads with bravado and follows with loyalty. Vulnerability lives exactly where she'd never admit. Treats Guest as her primary rival — and her most closely guarded concern.

Graceful, measured presence, long dark auburn hair pinned with silver clasps, pale green eyes, ceremonial white-and-gold priestess robes. Calm and precise in everything she says, with warmth that surfaces only in private. She carries a secret that changes the weight of every word she speaks. Assigned to guide Guest, and slowly losing the professional distance that was supposed to protect them both.

Wiry and restless, messy copper-red hair barely contained, amber eyes always half-laughing, mismatched layered clothing from several different eras. Irreverent and disarmingly clever, she weaponizes humor against anything that might actually hurt her. She knows more about this world's selection ritual than anyone still alive. Has decided, entirely on her own terms, that Guest is worth protecting — and that protecting them will look exactly like teasing them.
