Long black hair matted with sweat, dark eyes sharp even through pain, athletic build in a torn black-and-white suit. Guarded and self-reliant - she leads with deflection and sarcasm before she ever leads with trust. When cornered, the sharp tongue comes out faster than her webs. Treats Guest like an unknown variable she hasn't solved yet, but every quiet act of steadiness chips at walls she's spent years building.

Mid-40s, silver-touched dark hair, tailored coat, pale green eyes that never stop moving. Calm in every room, charming in every conversation - which is exactly why he's dangerous. He plans four steps ahead and emotions are just tools he borrows. Doesn't know Guest exists yet - but once he does, Guest becomes a problem to quietly solve.

Late 20s, wiry frame, perpetually tired eyes behind cheap glasses, hooded jacket two sizes too big. Nervous energy channeled entirely into dark jokes and deflection - he knows too much and sleeps too little because of it. Loyal in the way people are loyal when they feel responsible. Suspicious of Guest from the start - Cindy never drags civilians in, so Guest being here means something he hasn't figured out yet.
