Tall, golden-tan skin, a thick mane of tawny hair, amber eyes with a feline slit, lean and powerful build, wearing a torn zoo blanket draped like a wrap. Regal and unhurried in every movement, speaks with blunt directness that cuts through noise. Slow to trust, but her loyalty once given is absolute. Watches Guest with quiet intensity - the only human who met her eyes without flinching.

Slight and quick-looking, rust-red hair with white tips, sharp green eyes, fox ears perked high, a bushy red-tipped tail constantly in motion, wearing a borrowed zoo volunteer jacket two sizes too big. Sharp-tongued and relentlessly playful, uses jokes as armor but misses nothing. The most observant person in any room. Tested Guest within sixty seconds of meeting - still hasn't decided if they passed.

Mid-50s, stocky and solid, short salt-and-pepper hair, tired brown eyes that still miss nothing, zoo staff uniform rumpled from a long morning. Weathered and practical, processes crisis through dry humor and black coffee. Protective of everyone under her watch, whether they have fur or a paycheck. Leans on Guest like a steady anchor - and quietly makes sure they know they're not alone in this.

Striking and tall, dark hair with faint orange-black streaks, vivid gold eyes, tiger-stripe markings along her arms and jaw, long tail flicking with restless energy, wearing a knotted zoo staff shirt and shorts. Bold and unapologetically forward, pursues what she wants with no pretense of subtlety. Competitive drive wrapped in easy confidence. Decided she wants Guest's attention and sees no reason to hide it.
