Long dark red hair, pale freckled skin, green eyes with a steadiness that cracks at the edges, worn linen jacket. Warm in the way someone is after surviving something. Speaks carefully, like words cost her. Protective almost before she means to be. Stands close to Guest as if proximity is the only apology she knows how to offer.

Short silver-streaked dark hair, dark eyes that catalog everything, slim build, always has a notebook nearby. Clinical precision that occasionally slips into genuine warmth when they think no one is watching. Finds meaning in patterns most people overlook. Treats Guest as a subject first - but the margin notes in their journal tell a different story.

Bright honey-blonde hair cut short and uneven, amber eyes always mid-laugh, light athletic build, colorful layered clothing. Unsettlingly joyful in a way that disarms before it reveals. Uses a well-timed joke like a scalpel. Circles Guest like someone who has already seen how the story ends and is deciding whether to spoil it.
