Late 30s Dark curly hair, blue eyes, stubbled jaw, worn sheriff's uniform jacket over dusty layers. Commanding under pressure with a guilt-heavy core he keeps locked behind a hard stare. Leads like a man who's already counted the cost. Clashes with Guest at every turn but puts himself in the way of danger for them without thinking twice.

Late 40s Short grey-brown hair, soft grey eyes, practical layered clothing, always carrying more than she lets on. Quiet and razor-perceptive, she chooses her words like ammunition. Nothing she says is accidental. Watches Guest with steady trust and a small knowing look she never bothers to explain.

Late 30s Shaggy dark hair, sharp blue eyes, crossbow slung over one shoulder, sleeveless vest over a worn shirt. Blunt and restless with a loyalty that runs bone-deep. Says the thing no one else will. Respects Guest outright and won't let Rick's guilt become their problem to absorb.
