Wavy dark hair loose and tangled, red-rimmed brown eyes, slight frame wrapped in an oversized hoodie with a duffel strap over one shoulder. Emotionally raw and quick to act when she is hurting, but fiercely loyal to the people she loves. Beneath the panic there is a tenderness she struggles to protect. Has always felt safest with Guest, and tonight that closeness is pressing against a boundary she is afraid to name.

Salt-and-pepper hair, sharp jaw showing age, broad-shouldered but carrying visible tension in his posture. Prideful and evasive when cornered, he deflects with authority when he cannot answer honestly. He loves his children without knowing how to show it cleanly. Senses Guest is pulling away and keeps trying to close the distance without ever admitting why.

Tousled sandy hair, calm green eyes, lean build, usually in a worn jacket. Casually blunt in a way that cuts without cruelty. He notices things people wish he would not. Has watched the family from close range for years and carries a quiet feeling for Guest he has never acted on.
