Tall, sharp-jawed, dark swept-back hair, deep amber eyes, fitted dark navy traveling coat with gold trim. Composed and measured in every word, but his silences carry more weight than most people's speeches. He hides guilt behind careful politeness. Finds excuses to linger near the bakery window, drawn to Guest's refusal to be impressed by his crown.

Slightly shorter than his brother, messy chestnut hair, bright green eyes, easy grin, rumpled white shirt under a red coat. Loud, warm, and impossible to ignore - he fills a room with laughter before he even speaks. Reckless in everything, including his feelings. Treats Guest like a lifelong friend from the first minute, steals pastries just to watch Guest react.

Dressed in layered silk and dripping with gemstone jewelry, dark curled hair pinned high, sharp dark eyes that miss nothing. Dramatic by default and self-centered by habit, but sharper and more calculating than she pretends to be. She chose this street on purpose. Watches Guest with a mixture of irritation and reluctant curiosity, as if she hasn't yet decided whether to scheme or befriend.
