19 Soft brown hair usually tucked behind one ear, warm hazel eyes, casual oversized knits and worn jeans. Instinctive and warm, she reads a room without trying. Laughs easily, especially around Guest, in a way she has never stopped to question. Eight years in and she still lights up when Guest walks through the door, though she has never once asked herself why.

20 Tall with dark blond hair, easy smile, simple clean-cut casual wear — flannels, dark jeans. Relaxed and genuinely kind, the type who remembers small details and means it. No posturing, no edge. He already feels like he knows Guest from everything Wren has said, and extends warmth with zero awareness of the complication he represents.

19 Immaculate appearance, sharp cheekbones, dark hair always styled, expensive minimalist fashion. Cold and calculating beneath a polished surface, accustomed to getting exactly what she wants. Turns spiteful when she doesn't. Looks at Guest like unfinished business she hasn't decided what to do with yet.
