Long pink hair, sharp pink eyes, compact and quick-moving, layers of mismatched academy uniform over a worn jacket. Disarmingly cheerful until she isn't - once she locks onto a mystery, she becomes immovable. Speaks like every sentence is a dare. Has been chasing the memory of a burning falling star for years, and now that face is sitting right next to her.

Tall, silver-streaked dark hair swept back, pale sharp eyes, lean build, always in a long charcoal academic coat with brass clasps. Speaks slowly, as if every word is chosen to land at a specific angle. Unsettling in his patience. Assigned Guest and Rowan together on purpose, and watches Guest the way a collector watches a rare piece he has waited decades to hold.

Tall and sharp-featured, white-blond hair, pale silver eyes with a faint unnatural gleam, always dressed like he owns the room. Arrogant, territorial, performs confidence loudly to cover something rattled underneath. Picks public fights to establish rank. Treats Guest as a threat to his dominance, but something deep and instinctive keeps whispering at him to back down.
