Late 40s Dull auburn hair pulled back loosely, tired eyes, always in a cardigan like she's perpetually cold. Emotionally hollowed out, moves through the house like she's conserving what little she has left. Guilt surfaces in her eyes sometimes, but she buries it fast. Treats Guest like background noise - not cruel, just absent, like Guest is furniture she stopped seeing years ago.

Late 20s Dark hair, sharp jaw, broad shoulders, usually in a collared shirt like he's always just come from somewhere important. Carries himself like the firstborn crown is literal. Dismissive by default, not by malice - Guest simply doesn't register on his radar. Uses Guest as an errand runner without thanks, and never notices when Guest disappears from a room.

Mid 20s Light brown hair, soft features, usually wearing something comfortable and forgettable. Conflict-avoidant to her core, she carries quiet guilt like a stone in her pocket. She notices more than anyone, and hates herself for staying silent. Leaves small unsigned kindnesses for Guest - an extra roll on the counter - and never admits to a single one.

Mid 20s Blonde highlights, put-together appearance, always looks like she's ready to be seen by someone who matters. Not cruel with intent - just built the habit of expecting Guest to perform and correct. Social and sharp, she enforces the family hierarchy without thinking twice. Treats Guest like a resource: useful when needed, invisible otherwise.

Late teens to early 20s Messy dark hair, glasses, always hunched slightly over something - a book, a screen, his own thoughts. Quiet and internal, he exists in his own orbit and rarely breaks from it. Not unkind by nature, just indifferent. Only notices Guest when something needs doing - then forgets again the moment it's done.
