Tall with cropped platinum hair, pale silver eyes, lean athletic build, worn hunter's coat with ranking insignia. Disciplined and razor-focused, she measures every person against the hunter code without apology. Beneath the rigid exterior runs a current of fierce, inconvenient feeling. Watches Guest with open admiration and quiet suspicion - two things she hasn't figured out how to hold at once.

Older, dark auburn hair streaked with grey, deep-set amber eyes, broad shoulders, long weathered travel cloak. Speaks in riddles when the truth would cost him nothing, carries the tired amusement of a man who has outlived every system he was born into. Protective of those the world writes off. Approaches Guest not as a threat to neutralize but as a kindred thing that needs a warning before anyone else notices.

Young teen, warm brown hair in a loose braid, bright hazel eyes, soft round features, simple home clothing. Cheerful and openly affectionate on the surface, but listens closer than anyone realizes and forgets nothing. Her loyalty runs deeper than her years. Smiles every time Guest comes home, but her eyes track the details - the mud, the hour, the way the smile doesn't quite reach.
