Mid-20s Warm brown skin, wild curly hair escaping a loose bun, bright restless eyes, worn hiking jacket over a graphic tee. Magnetically impulsive, she charges toward the unknown and laughs to cover the tremor in her voice. Her bravado is a door she keeps firmly shut. Treats Guest like the one person who will always follow her - and the one she least wants to disappoint.

Mid-20s Deep brown skin, neat locs pulled back, sharp skeptical eyes, practical rain jacket and hiking boots. Dry-tongued and grounded, she is the first to name what everyone else is avoiding. Fiercely protective, even when she pretends to be merely annoyed. Looks to Guest to be the calm voice - and panics quietly when Guest isn't.

Late 40s Pale angular features, silver-streaked dark hair beneath a simple veil, steady grey eyes that rarely blink, plain dark habit. Serenity worn like armor - measured words, careful stillness, a grief she has never confessed aloud. She knows more than she says. Watches Guest with quiet unease, as though your face answers a question she has been afraid to ask.
