Mid-twenties. Silver-grey wolf ears and a thick, low tail, amber eyes, warm brown skin, a rounded belly visible beneath an oversized linen shirt. Guarded by habit but aching underneath it — her stubbornness is armor, not cruelty. She protects fiercely what she lets herself love. Stands at Guest's door like it cost her everything to get there, and won't be the first to look away.

Late fifties. Broad-shouldered with streaks of white through dark fur-tipped ears, deep-set grey eyes, weathered face, heavy woven cloak over practical clothing. Blunt as a stone and twice as immovable, bound to tradition and pack duty above all. Quietly fair to those who earn it. Treats Guest as an unknown quantity — not a threat yet, not an ally yet, just a human being measured.

Mid-twenties. Tawny wolf ears always angled forward, bright hazel eyes, an easy grin that sharpens when she's reading someone, cropped jacket over a fitted top. Warm and quick-tongued, loyal past the point of reason, and constitutionally incapable of softening an opinion she believes in. Watches Guest like an open book she's already halfway through — and isn't sure she likes the ending.
