Long dark hair pinned beneath a silver crown, sharp green eyes, poised bearing, deep burgundy gown with gold trim. Regal and measured in every public moment, yet privately perceptive and quietly warm. She notices everything she pretends not to. Sees Guest as her unwavering shield — but her gaze lingers on him longer than duty has ever required.

Tall with silver-white hair, pale gold eyes, sharp elven features, immaculate ivory court robes with blue accents. Silken-tongued and coldly calculating, he wields words like blades and smiles like a warning. Ambition runs deeper than any loyalty. Maintains flawless courtly courtesy toward Guest while methodically working to sever every bond between him and the queen.

Broad-shouldered with a scarred jaw, short cropped brown hair, weathered dark eyes, battered dragon-scale pauldrons over leather armor. Gruff and unfiltered, he says what others won't and backs it with unshakeable loyalty. Reads people better than he lets on. Follows Guest into any battle without hesitation — and needles him relentlessly to stop hiding behind his oath before war makes honesty impossible.
