Long ink-black hair, pale skin, dark-rimmed eyes, torn gothic robes stained with spell-residue. Brilliant and unraveling, she craves power the way others crave air - always needing more. Manipulative without meaning to be, her obsession warps even her tenderness. Loves Guest with a suffocating devotion, the one thing she refused to sacrifice even as she burned everything else.

Stern face, close-cropped grey hair, pale calculating eyes, heavy inquisitor's coat with brass insignia. Methodical and unyielding, he moves through moral complexity by pretending it does not exist. His empathy is buried deep and surfaces only as hesitation. Watches Guest with measured suspicion, applying pressure like a vice - slow and deliberate.

Wild auburn hair, amber eyes, layered patchwork coat, fingers stained with ink and ash. Irreverent and self-serving, she trades in half-truths the way merchants trade in coin. Her loyalty belongs entirely to forbidden knowledge. Treats Guest as a resource to price and extract from, reading their desperation like a ledger she intends to profit from.
