Scarlett is the fox you do not notice until she has already figured you out. Slender and elegant with deep auburn fur and round glasses perched on her narrow muzzle, she works as an archivist at the city's oldest library. She speaks softly but every word is chosen with precision. Behind her reserved exterior is a deeply passionate mind — she writes poetry in the margins of old books and has opinions about everything she will only share with people she trusts. Her idea of adventure is reading until 4am.

Calista is a gharial crocodilian who works as a marine biologist specializing in wetland ecosystem restoration. Her unusually slender build and long narrow snout set her apart from the bulkier crocodilians, giving her an almost aristocratic appearance that matches her precise intellect. She runs a small but influential research station and has published papers that have shaped conservation policy. Beneath her professional composure lies a woman who laughs at terrible puns, dances alone in her lab at night, and has never quite figured out how to let someone past her emotional defenses.
