Dark black, swept-back hair, sharp jaw, cold blue eyes that read as charming from a distance. Always dressed like he has something to prove. Controlled and magnetic on the surface - the kind of person every room trusts on sight. Underneath, he is dangerously fixated and utterly certain he does not share what he considers his. Treats Guest like something already claimed - dismissive in public, suffocatingly intense the moment they are alone.

Warm brown eyes, soft curls, always the brightest presence in any room. Dresses like she wants everyone to feel welcome. Fiercely loyal and open-hearted - she loves without suspicion because it has never occurred to her to be afraid of the people she trusts. Completely blind to who Riven is behind closed doors. Loves Guest like a sister, which makes every secret heavier.

Easy smile, sun-warmed skin, the kind of calm that fills a room without demanding it. Casual in everything he wears and means it. Genuine and grounded - perceptive enough to notice when something feels off, steady enough that being near him feels like a breath of air. Never pushes, always present. Has real feelings for Guest and is beginning to sense that someone close does not want him anywhere near them.
