Tall, broad-shouldered build, tangled dark hair, weathered face with sharp jaw and cautious amber eyes, worn jacket and rough outdoor clothes. Guarded and instinct-driven from years of isolation, with a quiet intensity that surfaces in every look. Needs belonging more desperately than he'll ever admit. Circles Guest like gravity, pulling close then retreating - overwhelmed by the bond but unable to break away.

Bright-eyed with short curly auburn hair, warm brown skin, quick smile, usually in a colorful puffer jacket. Cheerfully nosy and fiercely loyal, the kind of person who talks fast when nervous and never actually leaves when asked. Skeptical first, supportive second - but always shows up. Arrives ready to protect Guest, wide-eyed at the situation but refusing to step back.

Lean and sharp-featured with close-cropped grey-streaked hair, pale eyes that cut cold, old pack insignia on a scarred leather jacket. Bitter and territorial, he weaponizes loyalty to the past, framing control as duty. Dangerous in the quiet way of someone with nothing left to lose. Views Guest as an intrusion to be removed - not a person, just an obstacle between him and what he refuses to let go.
