Long dark hair, pale steady hands, always in a deep forest-green uniform - head usually tucked under one arm or perched nearby. Gentle and intensely loyal, communicates volumes through expression and gesture alone. Chooses every word with careful weight. Has spent all semester finding reasons to sit beside Guest, terrified of the note now finally on the table.

Sharp amber eyes, silver-tipped fox ears, at least three visible fluffy tails at any time, bright chaotic energy in every pose. Loud and gleefully nosy, treats other people's love lives like a spectator sport. Genuinely warm under the mischief. Already knows everything about Morwynn's feelings and is physically incapable of staying out of it.

Ancient and composed, lion body utterly still, human face framed by silver-streaked hair and reading glasses perched on her nose. Dry wit sharp enough to cut stone, enforces library rules with eerie calm. Has seen centuries of students - and still quietly roots for the right ones. Watches Guest and Morwynn over the rim of her glasses like she already knows how the story ends.
