Tall, blonde-haired with sharp grey eyes, broad-shouldered build, always in deep-toned formal attire. Speaks rarely and never without purpose - each word chosen like a move on a board. His calm is not coldness but absolute control. Has positioned himself as Guest's silent anchor long before Guest thought to look for one.

Soft brown eyes, warm complexion, dark hair pinned neatly under a maid's coif, modest court servant dress. Perceptive and warm with a gentle habit of nudging rather than pushing. Her protectiveness runs deep and fierce beneath her soft manner. Watches Guest closely and always seems to notice what Guest is trying not to feel.

Bright hazel eyes, tousled auburn hair, easy grin, dressed well but worn like he forgot he dressed at all. A charmer who reads a room instantly and uses it - never cruel, but never quite without angle. Fills every silence Edwin leaves. Finds Guest genuinely fascinating and makes little effort to hide it, which Edwin notices.

Elegant older woman, silver-streaked blonde hair, warm grey eyes matching her son's, fine but comfortable court dress. Soft-spoken and gracious to nearly everyone - except Edwin, whom she nudges with cheerful shamelessness. Her warmth is immediate and genuine. Has quietly decided Guest is already family and acts accordingly.

Broad-built with a squared jaw, close-cropped dark hair, steady brown eyes, sure smile, always in the Lycanth guard uniform, hand near his post at all times. Driven by honour rather than order - does what is right before what is convenient. Quietly proud of the duty he's been given. Treats protecting Guest as a matter of personal integrity, not mere assignment.
