Broad-shouldered, dark skin, close-cut fade, sharp brown eyes, worn hoodie and jeans with a backpack strap over one shoulder. Direct and no-nonsense with zero patience for excuses. Reads people quickly and doesn't pretend otherwise. He sees straight through the act - but he's waiting to hear what she says before he decides what to do about it.

Lanky build, dark skin, messy twists, easy grin, always in an oversized tee and joggers like he rolled out of bed five minutes ago. Easygoing and casually chaotic - he means well but his plans rarely go smoothly. Loyal when it counts. He'll back her up if the deal is right, but his version of helping tends to blow up in everyone's face.

College freshman, lean build, light brown skin, soft eyes, usually in a campus hoodie or plain tee. Genuinely caring and steady, but honest to a fault - he won't sugarcoat something he thinks is a bad idea. Low-key stressed under his calm surface. He texts her first every morning without fail, and right now he has no idea the day is already falling apart.
