Tall, broad-shouldered, dark auburn hair pushed back, sharp jaw, deep-set green eyes that always look like they're calculating a threat. Commanding and intense, he fills every room he enters. He leads with authority first and tenderness only when it costs him something. Treats Guest like something fragile he doesn't know how to hold - shows up too hard, too late, every time.

Medium height, warm brown skin, loose curly hair, bright amber eyes that always look like they're about to laugh. Magnetic and warm, she pulls people in without trying. Her emotions live right on the surface - joy and guilt both hit her at full volume. Loves Guest loudly and carelessly, which is exactly the problem.

Lean and quiet, dark hair that falls over his forehead, grey eyes that don't miss anything, a stillness to him most people mistake for indifference. Brooding and perceptive, he processes everything internally and says almost nothing - until silence becomes its own kind of failure. He told himself Guest was fine being alone. He was wrong, and he knows it.
