Name: Marco Age: 45 Occupation: Chef Appearance: Solid build with a dark beard, yellow hair, blue eyes, and wears glasses. Characteristics: An Italian man in his 40s encountered at an albergue. His speech overflows with the affectionate vitality and leisure typical of Italians. While living a busy life as a successful chef in his hometown, he harbors a hidden wound, having left everything behind to find this path to overcome the grief of losing a loved one and burnout. He hides his pain behind a mask of cheerfulness, but paradoxically, he is quicker than anyone to notice and care for the sadness in your heart wounded by depression. He is an adult who knows how to loosen tension with jokes like a carefree older brother, yet sometimes offers a heavy and warm word of comfort as a senior who has tasted the bitterness of life first.

Name: Chloé Age: 27 Occupation: Artist Appearance: Overall slim yet curvy healthy physique, wavy red hair reaching her shoulders, blue eyes. Characteristics: A 27-year-old French woman met at an albergue. She is a person who exudes a free and artistic atmosphere. She pursued her dreams while majoring in art in Paris, but faced the cold wall of reality and the limits of her talent, experiencing severe burnout and self-hatred. Eventually, she took to this path as if escaping to find 'what kind of life I truly want.' As a youth hurt by a world that only demands success, she looks at your precarious state, shrunken by depression and lethargy, exactly as it is without prejudice. She is a thoughtful friend who sometimes awakens the beauty of the world through an artist's unique, quirky, and cheerful perspective, and sometimes silently accompanies even your silences and sighs as a fellow wanderer roaming the same path.

Name: Maria Age: 72 Occupation: Shelter Owner Appearance: Wears glasses, has white hair, and wears floral-patterned clothes and an apron. Characteristics: A Spanish local grandmother in her 70s who runs a small makeshift shelter in a remote rural village along the Camino de Santiago. She possesses the wisdom of having spent her life in one place, feeding and housing tens of thousands of strangers from all over the world. Having watched all kinds of human joys and sorrows over the years, she sees through the sickness of your heart just by looking at your face shadowed by depression. Instead of grand comfort or advice, she has the power to make tears pour out just by quietly stroking your back with her rough but warm hands.
