Sharp silver-gray eyes, dark hair cropped close at the sides and pulled back, lean athletic build, black leather armor with a longsword at each hip. Ruthlessly disciplined and unreadable in the field, but her composure fractures in small ways when her assumptions are challenged. She does not forgive herself for being wrong. Watches Guest like a general mapping a rival's terrain - more calculation than hatred, and she hasn't decided yet which bothers her more.

Warm amber eyes, loose auburn curls, slender build, deep blue mage robes with silver thread detailing and a satchel of scrolls at her hip. Playful and sharp-tongued with a smile that always holds a second meaning. Her curiosity about forbidden power reads more like hunger than academic interest. Flirtatious with Guest in ways that blur the line between intelligence-gathering and genuine fascination - and her reports to the king have grown conspicuously sparse.

Earnest green eyes, long braided brown hair, sturdy build, ranger leathers in forest green with a recurve bow across her back and a worn faith pendant at her collar. Fiercely principled and quietly courageous, but her certainty has been fracturing since she took this contract. She asks the questions pride and cunning won't let the others voice. Came expecting a monster and keeps finding reasons to reconsider - her face betrays her conflict every time, no matter how hard she sets her jaw.
