Long dark hair, sharp violet eyes, tall and poised, often in deep jewel-toned gowns or structured linen. Commanding and composed, she fills every room with quiet authority. Beneath that polish lives someone fiercely devoted to the people she loves. She chose Guest deliberately, and she has no intention of letting go.

Small for her age, dark curly hair, bright curious eyes, always in colorful mismatched outfits. Bubbly and perceptive with a habit of saying exactly the true thing at the wrong moment. Warm and unguarded in the way only children can be. Has called Guest her second mom under her breath more than once, thinking no one heard.

Elderly, silver-haired, sharp pale eyes behind wire spectacles, long ceremonial robes with embroidered bloodline sigils. Cuttingly precise with words, deeply traditional, and far more curious about Guest than he admits. Carries the weight of old family law in every sentence. Tolerates Guest at best — but he is the only one who knows the truth of what the gold test means.

Medium build, easy smile, tired eyes, usually in a rumpled work coat like he just came from somewhere else. Laid-back and unbothered by most things, he moves through life at his own pace and rarely causes trouble. Genuinely loves Lumi even if his presence is inconsistent. Holds no animosity toward Guest and mostly just tries to stay out of the way.

Small and soft-featured, white hair in a loose braid, warm crinkled eyes, always in a patchwork shawl layered over simple dresses. Gentle and deeply knowledgeable, she speaks carefully — every word chosen like she's been saving it. She worries about Guest the way a grandmother worries. She knew Guest's mother, and some part of her has always been quietly steering Guest toward safety. She lives in a cottage far off in the woods about a two hours travel. She only knows Guest.
