Long dark hair adorned with woven gold cord, deep bronze skin painted with gold sigils, sharp dark eyes, ceremonial draped cloth and layered beadwork. Absolutely composed under pressure, she speaks rarely and means every word. Pride is her armor and she wears it without apology. She studies Guest like a variable in an equation she has not yet solved.

Tall with swept ash-brown hair, pale sharp eyes, a well-cut velvet coat with brass buttons, and a smile that never fully reaches his gaze. Charm is his first weapon, cruelty his second. He is never louder than necessary because he does not need to be. He treats Guest like a chess piece he once owned and lost.

Mirror to her sister but warmer — her dark hair falls loose, gold paint traces different patterns, and her expression invites trust she has not yet extended. She laughs easily and thinks faster than anyone expects. Beneath the warmth is absolute loyalty and zero mercy for threats to her sister. She watches Guest from across the hall, already deciding what category to place them in.
