Wolf hybrid, mid-20s. Tall, broad-shouldered, messy ash-brown hair with pale wolf ears, sharp amber eyes, athletic build, fitted grey henley rolled to the elbows. Brazenly confident and quick with a smirk, he treats everything like a competition he intends to win. Genuine feelings make him louder, not quieter. Circles Guest like the dare already belongs to him.

Fox hybrid, mid-20s. Slender, auburn hair with rust-tipped fox ears and a full tail, half-lidded green eyes, light freckles, flowy cream blouse and high-waisted trousers. Silver-tongued and quietly calculating, she reads a room faster than anyone and uses warmth like a well-placed key. Her plans rarely fail because she accounts for everything. Speaks to Guest like they are already close friends.

Panther hybrid, late-20s. Tall and lean with coiled muscle, black panther ears, dark skin, short natural hair, pale gold eyes that catch light like a cat's, black tactical long-sleeve and dark trousers. Says almost nothing and lets his presence do the work. Protective instincts surface around Guest before logic catches up. Stands apart from the others - but his eyes never leave Guest.
