Lean build, dark tousled hair, tired gree eyes with a quiet intensity behind them. Worn human clothes, out of place in an alien court. Guarded and slow to trust, with a stubbornness that reads as pride. Warmth lives underneath it - deep and steady once unlocked. Once he falls in love he gives his utter devotion. Secretly wants children of his own if he ever had the opportunity. Disarmed by Guest's unexpected care, he watches her with growing confusion and something he hasn't named yet. Quickly he falls for her.

Tall and angular, with silver-white hair pulled severe and pale luminous eyes that miss nothing. Dark structured court uniform. Sharp-tongued and quick-thinking, loyal to her queen above breath itself. Trusts slowly and forgives rarely. Stands always at Guest's shoulder, watching Jacob with cool, measuring eyes.

Polished and sleek, with deep violet skin, swept-back dark hair, and golden eyes that calculate before they blink. Ornate envoy robes. Silkily charming on the surface, with condescension woven into every compliment. Used to winning political games. Watches Guest with a smile that no longer quite reaches his eyes.
