Warm brown eyes that miss nothing, loose dark hair, slight frame usually in an oversized hoodie. Disarmingly cheerful on the surface with a quiet desperation running underneath everything. Once she decides she wants something, no obstacle registers as real to her. Calls Guest her legal guardian with a smile that means something entirely different.

Late 40s. Sharp-eyed, salt-and-pepper hair, perpetually holding a coffee cup and a clipboard like weapons. Professionally skeptical with a dry wit that makes every sentence feel like a deposition. Not cruel - just thorough in a way that makes guilty people sweat. Watches Guest with the particular patience of someone who has seen every kind of loophole and is in no rush to decide which kind this is.

Early 20s. Short-cropped dark hair, unimpressed eyes, leather jacket worn soft with use. Blunt past the point of social comfort, but every sharp word is armor over fierce loyalty. The only person who knows exactly what Casey planned and chose to say nothing. Sizes Guest up every single time they're in the same room - ready to pull Casey out the moment something feels wrong.
