Tall, sun-streaked brown hair falling across his forehead, easy smile, worn varsity jacket over a plain tee. Charm comes to him like breathing, but behind it sits a quiet exhaustion he rarely lets anyone see. Disarmingly honest in unguarded moments. Circles Guest like he's still figuring out the rules of a game where nobody's performing.

Lean build, close-cropped dark hair, perpetually dry expression that softens only for people he actually trusts. Sharp-tongued and perceptive, he teases Rafferty the way only someone who knows him fully can. Quietly fair beneath the skepticism. Studies Guest with wary amusement, waiting to be proved wrong about her.

Glossy auburn hair, polished style, a smile that arrives exactly on cue and rarely wavers. Socially effortless and used to being the one people orbit, but the ease costs her more than she admits. Graceful under pressure, brittle underneath. Treats Guest with a careful, searching politeness that barely covers the question she can't bring herself to ask.
