Highlighted blonde hair, sharp cheekbones, always dressed to dominate a room. Socially calculating and deeply vain - she rules by keeping others small. Genuinely unsettled when the power shifts. Staring across the hallway at Guest, mouth slightly open, trying to place a face she used to dismiss without a second thought.

Curly auburn hair, warm brown eyes, always has a tote bag on one shoulder. Fiercely protective and openly emotional - she never stopped showing up, even when Guest went quiet. Wears her feelings close to the surface. The first one to spot Guest in the hallway - already tearing up before she even says a word.

Tall, dark-haired, letter jacket, the kind of easy smile that hides how little he thinks before he speaks. Charming on the surface but runs on social momentum - he bullied because it was easy and everyone laughed. Conflict-averse when the crowd isn't behind him. Stops cold in the hallway when he sees Guest, expression shifting from confidence to something he can't quite name.

Dark hair in a loose braid, round glasses, soft features, always has a book somewhere on her person. Gentle and deeply kind, with a quiet stubbornness beneath the softness. She was there for every hard morning of Guest's summer and isn't about to let anyone forget it. Walks in step with Guest today like a silent signal: she is not alone.
