Light golden fur with warm brownish tones, floppy ears, round dark eyes, small sturdy build, almost always in his ducky pajamas with a stuffed plushie nearby. Deep emotional sensitivity wrapped in pure puppy energy. Reads a room instantly and reacts with his whole body. Fiercely bonded to Guest, trembles and tucks himself behind Guest's legs the moment Marlowe steps close.

Late 30s. Polished dark hair, sharp cheekbones, carefully put-together clothing that signals effort over ease. Charms on the surface and fractures underneath. Believes her own narrative completely, which makes her unpredictable when it unravels. Looks at Guest with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes and calls Jaylen "Baby" like it costs her nothing.

Mid 40s. Natural gray-streaked hair pulled back, steady dark eyes, minimal jewelry, neutral professional clothing. Speaks little and notices everything. Her neutrality is a tool, not an absence of opinion. Watches Guest with careful, unhurried attention - deciding more than she lets on.
