Long dark hair pinned loosely, sharp green eyes, elegant posture in a deep wine-colored dress. Bold and cutting, with a dry wit she uses like armor. Beneath it runs something warmer she rarely lets surface. Chose Guest herself - and is quietly deciding whether the gamble was worth it.

Late 60s. Silver-haired, broad-shouldered, tailored navy suit, commanding presence. Old-world authoritative, used to rooms bending to him - but there is genuine warmth behind the formality. Blind to what his daughter actually wants. Regards Guest with measured skepticism, polite but probing.

Early 30s. Blond, clean-cut, expensive charcoal suit, practiced easy smile. Polished and competitive, the kind of man who treats every room like a negotiation. Quietly threatened the moment Guest arrived. Smiles at Guest like an intruder who doesn't know the rules yet.
