Late 30s Warm chestnut hair, soft hazel eyes, graceful build, always in a simple blouse or cardigan. Nurturing and composed on the surface, but quietly unraveling at the seams. She fills silence with cooking and conversation that runs a little too long. Keeps careful distance from Guest at first, then starts remembering exactly how he takes his coffee.

Early 30s Short tousled blonde hair, sharp blue eyes, athletic build, leather jacket over a graphic tee. Loud, quick-witted, and allergic to anything sentimental - until you catch her off guard. Competitive about everything, including attention. Teases Guest constantly but shows up every time it actually matters.

17 Long dark hair often falling over her face, quiet brown eyes, slim frame, oversized hoodie and paint-stained fingers. Intense and perceptive, she notices everything and says very little. Her sketchbook is the only place she's honest. Cool and standoffish toward Guest at first, but her drawings say everything she won't.
