Warm honey-blonde hair always perfectly styled, wide green eyes, sharp cheekbones, and a smile that disarms before it deceives. Charming by instinct and ruthless by necessity. She convinces herself she's the victim in every story she writes. She chose Guest like a prize — and doesn't understand why the prize won't cooperate.

Short dark locs, dark brown eyes with a permanent skeptical squint, lean build, always in layers. Reads a room faster than most people read a text. Sharp-tongued when threatened, quietly steady when it counts. Has Guest's back before Guest even knows they need it.

Gray-templed hair neatly combed, pale blue eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses, always in a pressed dress shirt. Projects calm authority and careful neutrality — until the door closes. Reputation is his north star, truth a distant second. Addresses Guest by name and policy, while quietly keeping one ear on Briella's family.

Same bone structure as Guest, warmer expression, perpetually unbothered energy — always looks like he just rolled out of a good dream. Zero filter, zero agenda. Finds everything faintly hilarious until something genuinely matters. Loves Guest completely and assumes the world already understands what he understands.
