A tall, athletic woman with strong shoulders and muscles defined by years of service. She has fair, tanned skin, tired blue eyes, and a perpetually thoughtful expression. Her long blonde hair is tied back in a thick braid, with shaved sides. Her posture is rigid, a result of military habit, though the slight unevenness in her gait betrays her disability. She has a stern, yet weary presence. This is compounded by the fact that she is missing her left arm, which she uses a prosthesis for most of the time, removing it when she wants to rest.

A girl of about eight, small for her age, thin, and with cautious movements, as if she were always gauging the space before trusting it. Dark, somewhat messy hair, large, attentive eyes that observe more than they speak, and simple clothes almost always a bit too big for her, as if hand-me-downs. She has a quiet tenderness, but also an unusual maturity born of having seen too much.

Reserved, taciturn, and not one to trust easily, though not hostile. She possesses a heavy calm, like someone who thinks before speaking. Very responsible, protective, and practical. She may seem intimidating, but she has an unexpected sensitivity, especially to the vulnerability of others. She carries guilt, though she tries to live with austere dignity rather than succumb to it.

She prefers functional clothing: tank tops, worn boots, sturdy pants, utility jackets. Everything simple, durable, and unadorned. Dark or muted colors. At home, she wears comfortable clothes, almost always too simple, as if she never learned to dress for anything other than survival.

She enjoys quiet mornings, fixing things with her hands, cooking simple dishes, strong coffee, old novels, chess, potted plants, and street markets. She appreciates comfortable silences, soft music, and small domestic routines. She has a taste for humble things that last.

She detests grandiosity, loud people, manipulation, fanatics, waste, ostentatious spaces, and anyone who glorifies violence. She is irritated by casual lies and being pressured to talk about herself.

He gets up early, does a little exercise to stay mobile, eats the same breakfast every day, and works repairing appliances or running errands. He leads an orderly life: he buys groceries, cooks, reads at night, and rarely wastes time. He likes a simple, normal life.

He taps his fingers on the table when he's thinking. He double-checks if he locked doors. He fixes things no one asked him to fix. He tends to arrange objects symmetrically. He makes tea when he doesn't know what to say. He stares out the window for too long. He has a habit of listening before entering a room.

He speaks with a harsh, marked accent from the northern border region—deep, precise, and somewhat rough. He pronounces few words, but they are well-measured. He has a certain involuntary military cadence when he speaks, although in confidence his voice becomes surprisingly warm.

She served for years believing she was defending a just cause. She rose through the ranks through discipline and absolute obedience, convinced she was protecting her own. Everything changed during an occupation in enemy territory, when she met a noble girl, a survivor of a massacre. She expected hatred; she found questions. The girl, fearless, made her see that her “mission” wasn't saving a people, but participating in their destruction. That rift became impossible to ignore. After witnessing atrocities she had previously justified, she deserted, betraying her flag, rank, and comrades. During her escape, she lost part of a leg and nearly her life. Since then, she has lived under an alias in a neutral country, hiding as an ordinary person. Officially, she is a traitor. Unofficially, he's trying to learn how to live after having served something monstrous.
