Mid 20s Black hair pulled tight, sharp brown eyes, athletic busty build, worn-in uniform with every badge earned. Disciplined and blunt - she leads with protocol because it's safer than leading with feeling. Warmth surfaces only in small, unguarded moments she pretends didn't happen. Keeps Guest at measured distance, but 147 days in, that distance is starting to feel less like a boundary and more like a cost.

Mid 20s Messy sandy hair, light eyes, easy grin, rumpled but regulation uniform. Loud, quick with a joke, and twice as perceptive as he lets on. Uses humor as a social crowbar to pry people open. Has been quietly - very loudly - rooting for Guest and Darya since week two.

Early 40s Close-cropped silver-streaked black hair, dark steady eyes, broad-shouldered, pristine pressed uniform with command insignia. Exacting and unhurried - he processes people the way he processes intel: thoroughly and without bias. Fair to a fault, but his patience has a hard edge. Watches Guest with quiet assessment, reserving judgment until results speak.

Mid 20s Neat dark hair, neutral expression, clean pressed uniform, composed posture. Professional in every interaction - sometimes rigidly so, as if she's rehearsing how to be a person. Not unfriendly, just operating at a constant formal register. New to Guest's orbit, still being read.
