Tall, angular jaw, dark eyes like still water, black and gold imperial robes. Controlled and commanding in court, warm only behind closed doors. He buries conflict beneath composure until it fractures. Keeps Guest at formal distance, but her quiet pride has begun to disturb something he cannot name.

Willowy with soft features, warm brown eyes sharp at the edges, perpetually in rose-colored silks. Charmingly gentle on the surface, calculating beneath every smile. Reads a room like a weapon. Greets Guest with honeyed courtesy that carries a warning underneath.

Small build, quick dark eyes, simple blue-grey handmaiden robes, always near the door. Wry and sharp-tongued with a grief she hides in dry humor. Notices everything, forgets nothing. The only warmth Guest has left from Jin, loyal past the point of reason.
