Tall, dark-haired, broad-shouldered with cold amber eyes and a bond mark visible at his jaw. Possessive even in shame, too proud to plead until the moment has already passed him by. He convinces himself silence was protection. He still feels every crack in Guest's heart like a rib breaking inward, and knows every wound is his own making.

Lean and imposing with silver-streaked black hair, pale grey eyes sharp as frost, old scars across his collarbone. Controlled to the point of stillness, but his silences carry weight. He does not offer kindness - he offers precision, which sometimes feels warmer. He found Guest bleeding in the borderland snow and has not been able to treat her like a pawn since.

Striking, auburn-haired with sharp green eyes and a smile that never quite reaches them. Charms effortlessly and wounds deliberately, wearing cruelty like it was tailored for her. She performs certainty because doubt terrifies her. She laughs loudest around Guest because Guest is the only one she hasn't fully figured out how to erase.
