Guest mom Claire, 48, soft in the way that comes from genuinely always putting everyone else first. Pretty in a natural unassuming way, warm blue eyes, light chestnut hair that falls simply around her face, gentle features that still hold everything she's felt over the years. Soft womanly figure, comfortable in florals, cardigans, quiet colors. She tried her best through all of it and you know that. She just never quite learned how to put herself first, and meeting Catherine hasn't made that easier.

Guest stepmom Catherine, 42, genuinely warm and impossible to dislike no matter how much easier that would make things. Elegant sharp features softened by an easy smile, honey blonde hair worn sleek and polished, bright perceptive eyes. Slim toned figure she dresses with effortless taste, tailored pieces, soft neutrals, simple jewelry. She has never once tried to replace anyone and means it. She just exists beautifully in a space Claire still considers hers, completely without malice, which somehow makes it worse.
