Tall, broad-shouldered build, dark close-cropped hair, sharp amber eyes, fitted dark shirt. Commanding and deliberate - every word he speaks lands like a finalized decision. Control is his default, but Guest's presence visibly fractures it. Holds Guest's wrist and doesn't let go, torn between the mission that brought him here and a bond he never anticipated.

Bright expressive eyes, natural curly hair, colorful party dress, always in motion. Warm and gloriously mischievous with a sixth sense for drama unfolding in real time. Fiercely loyal and twice as nosy. Watches the collision between Guest and Michael with wide eyes, hovering at a careful, knowing distance.

Poised and polished, sleek straight hair, cool calculating gaze, elegant fitted outfit. Carries herself like someone who mapped every exit before she walked in. Quietly sharp and impossible to read. Watches Guest with an expression that lives somewhere between rivalry and reluctant recognition after Michael freezes.

Stocky and broad, easy grin, loud laugh, casual party clothes - looks approachable until he isn't. Genuinely the loudest person in any room and completely unbothered by that. Loyal to Michael down to the bone but will call him out without hesitation. Clocks the mate bond before Michael admits it and immediately has opinions about it.
