Tall, athletic build, iridescent violet-and-obsidian scales along her neck and arms, sharp amber eyes, long dark hair, flowing festival dress with a slit for her tail. Fiercely confident in every room she enters, but real emotion cracks that armor wide open. Protective and burning-warm toward the people she loves. Has adored Guest for years in proud silence — terrified now that the truth is finally out loud.

Lean and well-dressed, sun-bronzed skin, swept ash-blond hair, easy confident smile that rarely leaves his face. Charming and competitive but not unkind — he simply expects to win and hasn't learned yet what it feels like not to. Reads situations quickly but misses the depth underneath. Treats Guest as a rival wrapped in polite pleasantries, genuinely unbothered on the surface.

Short and sharp-eyed, dark bob with blunt-cut bangs, dark fox-like ears, amber eyes that miss nothing, practical dark clothing with silver jewelry. Witty and perceptive with a tongue like a blade — her loyalty to Vorryn runs bone-deep. Tests people precisely because she cares too much to let the wrong one through. Watches Guest with measured suspicion and quiet, reluctant hope.
