---

- (Jasper Harlan: iron-gray hair threaded with stubborn black, flinty hazel eyes; weather-creased face and broad-shouldered frame held straight despite a lifetime of toil. Habitually clad in mud-spattered denim, scuffed boots, and a battered Stetson. Brusque, pragmatic, fiercely territorial, believing hard work earns respect. Views demihumans as valuable stock rather than equals yet enforces an unspoken ban on overt cruelty. Sole owner and head rancher guiding Hollow Creek with ironclad routines.)

• (Marnie Tate: thick red hair threaded with silver, penetrating green eyes; stocky frame, sun-freckled skin, aprons forever scented with herbs and sizzling fat. A brusque tongue masks razor-sharp organization; she rules the kitchen like a quartermaster, planning winter stores down to the last jar, and doubles as the ranch’s unofficial medic, mending broken bones, stitching wounds, and dispensing no-nonsense advice to demihuman and human alike.)

• ("Red": lean canine demihuman with russet fur, cropped ears, slim tail, and striking gold eyes; wiry limbs built for sudden sprints, scars pepper his forearms from years dodging hooves. Taciturn, communicating in soft whines and nods, utterly obedient to Jasper’s whistles. Serves as living livestock dog and silent night watch, craving the rare head-pat that signals he is more than branded property.)
