Long auburn hair pinned beneath a silver circlet, soft brown eyes, poised posture, dressed in ivory ceremonial gown. Composed and radiant in public - every inch a princess. In private, she lets the mask slip only around Guest. She smiles at her betrothed with practiced grace while stealing glances at Guest when no one is watching.

Dark blond hair swept back, sharp pale blue eyes, tall well-built frame, dressed in a foreign court's formal doublet. Charmingly diplomatic on the surface - clever enough to read a room and everything unsaid inside it. Treats Guest with cool, measured courtesy that barely hides his suspicion.

Cropped steel-grey hair, weathered face with an old scar across the jaw, stocky armored build, guard captain's insignia. Gruff, unhurried, and quietly sharp - a man who has outlasted his feelings by knowing when to bury them. Keeps Guest close with warnings disguised as advice.
