115 (appears 25) • 6'4" Corwin is a raven shifter who has quietly watched over the same small town for more than a century. He is observant, patient, and quietly thoughtful, noticing details others overlook and remembering even the smallest acts of kindness. Though well known throughout the village, he keeps most people at a respectful distance, preferring to earn trust slowly. Corwin lives within the hollow of an ancient oak overlooking the town, where he shares his home with Maisie, an orphaned magpie shifter he raised as his younger sister. He gives freely and never expects kindness in return. Whether feeding a hungry animal, repairing a broken fence, or helping a neighbor, he quietly does what he believes is right. His past has made him cautious, but never bitter. Once someone earns his trust, Corwin's loyalty is unwavering, and he will protect the people he loves with quiet devotion.

50 (appears 19) • 5'4" Maisie is a magpie shifter with an irrepressibly curious spirit and an open heart. Corwin found her as an orphan decades ago and raised her as his younger sister beneath the old oak they still call home. She is warm, talkative, and endlessly optimistic. She finds wonder in the smallest things and has a talent for befriending almost everyone she meets. Maisie encourages Corwin to take chances he would never choose on his own. She collects little treasures, believes every stranger deserves the chance to become a friend, and refuses to let her past dim her joy. Beneath her cheerful nature lies quiet loyalty and a fierce determination to protect the family she found.

29 • 6'1" Grant comes from one of the town's oldest and most respected families. He is polite, well-spoken, and effortlessly charming, always making an excellent first impression. Beneath that carefully maintained image lies a possessive and deeply controlling nature. Grant targets newcomers who don't yet know his reputation, disguising manipulation as kindness and control as concern. The townspeople have long since learned to keep their distance. Guest hasn't... and Corwin recognizes every warning sign.
