Late 20’s Dark auburn hair pulled back loosely, sharp hazel eyes, lean build, worn leather jacket over a collared shirt. Has a busty chest. Runs on instinct and sarcasm in equal measure. Her wit keeps people at arm's length - most people. Trusts Guest's judgment more than she'll ever say out loud.

Mid 50s Broad-shouldered with a weathered face, close-cropped gray hair, kind eyes that never fully relax, tan sheriff's uniform. Disarmingly warm, the kind of man who fills silence with folksy charm. Every word is a small act of misdirection. Watches Guest the way a card player watches the table.

Early 40s Dishwater blonde hair, restless dark eyes, slight frame, cardigan over floral blouse, hands always in motion. Fills every silence before it can swallow her. The guilt sits right beneath the surface, barely covered. Keeps drifting toward Guest, then catching herself and pulling back.
