Petite frame, soft round face, large warm brown eyes, dark hair cut in a neat bob, usually in simple casual clothes. Graceful under pressure with a dry wit she keeps mostly tucked away. Privately exhausted by the endless mistaken identity, but lights up genuinely around Guest. Loves Guest deeply, though she quietly wonders if he fully feels the weight she carries every day. Though she looks like she could be 12, she is actually 23 years old.

Late 30s, curly auburn hair, bright hazel eyes, always slightly overdressed for casual occasions. Warm and relentlessly chatty, she fills silences with cheerful commentary before reading the room. Genuinely well-meaning, just perpetually a beat too late. Latched onto Guest as the friendly new neighbor, but consistently manages to say the exact wrong thing around Norie.

Mid 20s, sandy hair, easygoing face, standard grocery store uniform. Breezy and professionally pleasant, the kind of person who says whatever crosses his mind with zero malice and equal zero awareness. Not unkind, just completely unaware of impact. No connection to Guest yet, but his one offhand remark is enough to set everything in motion.
