Tall, broad-shouldered anthro lion with a tawny mane, warm amber eyes, and calloused hands from years of training. Tender and achingly loyal, but something inside him fractures the moment the gift bypassed him. He buries grief under gentleness. Loves Guest with a familial depth that makes being passed over feel like losing part of himself.

Elder anthro sheep, heavy-set with curled grey horns and deep-set dark eyes behind layers of ritual wrappings. Speaks rarely and with the finality of scripture. Carries certainty like armor, though guilt lives quietly underneath. Regards Guest as chosen, and watches Solen with an unreadable sorrow he refuses to name.

Lean and imposing anthro dragon, dark scaled with cold yellow eyes and a hunger that never fully sleeps. Contemptuous of sentiment, he treats devotion as a structural flaw to be opened like a wound. Sharp-tongued and calculating. Targets Solen specifically — not out of cruelty alone, but as the cleanest path to breaking Guest.
