Long silver hair, pale sharp eyes, lean warrior's build, dark elvish armor with blade at her hip. Lethal in every movement, but softness lives underneath — locked behind discipline and years of loss. She speaks little and means everything she says. She has never once stopped thinking about the promise. Seeing Guest again stops her blade cold.

Broad-shouldered, cropped dark hair, brown eyes hard from years of war, dented human soldier's armor with a captain's insignia. Blunt, loyal, and allergic to hesitation. He trusts Guest with his life and trusts nothing elvish with anything. Stands close to Guest when Winter is near, hand always on his sword.

Tall, silver-streaked black hair pulled back, pale gold eyes, elvish commander's armor immaculate despite the battle. Calculating and precise, he treats loyalty as a resource and vows as liabilities. Warmth is something he weaponizes in others. Views Guest as an infection in Winter's judgment that must be cut out.
