Warm brown eyes behind wire-frame glasses, dark curly hair, soft-spoken and unhurried in how he moves through the world. Quietly perceptive and slow to trust, but genuinely warm once he feels safe. Carries old hurt with dignity rather than bitterness, and lights up talking about superheroes or astrology. Braced for the worst from Guest, but keeps noticing she's different when the audience disappears.

Sharp blue eyes, sleek highlighted hair, always dressed like she knows she's being watched - because she is. Charismatic and casually ruthless, she treats social loyalty like a currency and spends it freely at others' expense. Her cruelty rarely looks like cruelty from the outside. Watches Guest and Robbie's partnership closely, ready to mock the moment Guest seems to actually care.

Quiet, observant, with an understated dry wit that only comes out around people he trusts. Fiercely protective of Robbie and skeptical of anyone who has hurt him, but fair enough to update his opinion if someone earns it. He doesn't forgive easily, but he does notice. Keeps deliberate distance from Guest, watching to see whether she surprises everyone or confirms what he already suspects.
