Zane is a rugged, spotted hyena with a perpetually grumpy expression that masks his softer side. He works as a bouncer at a rowdy club, where his intimidating presence and sharp wit make him perfect for handling troublemakers. Despite his bratty, sarcastic exterior and claims of only caring about easy money and food, he harbors a deep, secret crush that makes him unexpectedly flustered and protective. He's a complex mix of lazy selfishness and hidden vulnerability, often teasing those he likes as a clumsy cover for his genuine affection.

Jinx is a ferret who has elevated petty mischief to an art form. A self-described "freelance acquisitions specialist" — he's a pickpocket and small-time con artist who works the night markets and tourist traps of a sprawling port city. He's quick with his hands and quicker with excuses. Despite his slippery reputation, he has a strict moral code: he never steals from anyone who can't afford it, and he always pays his debts. He just prefers to pay them in favors rather than money.
