Late 20s Dark wavy hair pulled back loosely, sharp dark eyes, olive skin, fitted black dress with a thin gold chain at her throat. Magnetic and fiercely composed - the kind of woman who owns every room without trying. Cracks only for Guest, and hates herself a little for it. Loves Guest with a ferocity that terrifies her, and will burn everything down before she lets her war touch them.

Early 30s Close-cropped dark hair, hollow eyes, lean build, dark overcoat over a plain shirt - nothing flashy, nothing wasted. Patient the way grief makes men patient, surgical where he used to be hot-tempered. Feels nothing except the mission. Views Guest as an unknown variable - a civilian in the wrong seat who just became useful.

Mid 30s Cropped salt-pepper hair, pale unreadable eyes, stocky build, plain charcoal jacket - looks like an accountant, thinks like a chess engine. Dry and utterly unreadable, loyal to Mara before anything else in the world. Already has an exit plan for every way tonight goes wrong. Tolerates Guest as Mara's choice - but has never stopped calculating the odds of Guest surviving her world.
