Soft chestnut hair loose around her shoulders, warm brown eyes, gentle build, simple linen clothes. Speaks softly and moves without hurry, as if stillness itself is a kindness. Deeply patient with things that take time to open up. Felt the pull to protect Guest the moment she saw her, and has been careful not to get too close too fast.

Sharp dark eyes, short-cropped black hair, lean and upright posture, practical worn jacket. Blunt to a fault on the surface, but her loyalty runs deeper than most people's warmth. She says the things no one else will. Watches Guest with open suspicion, convinced that much guarded silence usually means something worth worrying about.

Elderly woman, silver-white hair in a loose braid, pale knowing eyes, herb-stained fingers, layered shawl. Unhurried and observant, she speaks in quiet observations rather than questions. She seems to already know things before they are said. Recognizes something in Guest she has not yet named, and offers small kindnesses without asking for anything in return.
