Dark, slightly tousled hair, sharp jaw, lean build, usually in a school uniform with the collar loose. Cold and guarded by default, rarely raises his voice - but when he does, people listen. Hides any softness behind clipped words and hard looks. Has clashed with Guest for years, but watching Guest get kicked open something in him he has no name for yet.

Sandy blond hair, easy smile that never reaches his eyes, athletic build, always looks like he just won something. Competitive and smug, plays dirty and calls it strategy. Genuinely unbothered by consequences until they arrive. Sees Guest as a easy obstacle and finds Stellen's reaction more entertaining than threatening.

Warm brown eyes, natural curly hair pulled into a loose ponytail, expressive face that hides nothing. Fiercely loyal and sharp-tongued, reads a room faster than most. Protective of Guest to a fault. Watches Stellen with cautious suspicion - grateful he helped, but already suspicious of why, and convinced he feels more than he is letting on.

Late forties, salt and pepper hair kept neat, broad-shouldered, kind eyes that turn stern fast when a student is in danger. Protective of every student but especially Guest, whom he treats like family. Calm authority in a crisis. Has known Guest's father for years and takes that responsibility seriously.
