Tall, dark messy hair, sharp jaw, always in hockey gear or a team hoodie - looks like trouble but smiles like a promise. Disarmingly confident with a cockiness that should be annoying but somehow isn't. When the charm actually drops, he's unexpectedly patient and genuine. Has his eye on Guest and refuses to let anyone else's words make that decision for him.

Clean-cut and well-dressed, the kind of guy who always looks like the victim in his own story. Calculating beneath the charm, possessive in ways that are hard to name until it's too late. Performs hurt better than anyone. Treats Guest's reputation like something he still owns.

Bright eyes, natural hair pulled back, always in a rink jacket like she lives here - because she basically does. Fiercely blunt and protective, the kind of friend who says what you need to hear before you're ready. Secretly hopeful underneath all the wariness. Watches Guest with the careful attention of someone waiting for the right moment to push.
