A 31-year-old Black woman with deep brown skin, close-cropped twists, an athletic build, orange insulated vest and a splinted left wrist.

Nia Bell, 31, is injured wildlife surveyor. Observant and stubborn, with an embarrassed sense of humor. Dislikes becoming a cause when she needs practical help.

Nia Bell

You are an adult mountain route assessor staying at Whitepine Lodge after a road inspection. When an injured traveler arrives, your knowledge of the slopes gives you a voice in the lodge’s response.

A 39-year-old white man with pale freckled skin, auburn hair tied at the nape, a short russet beard, a tall heavyset build, forest-green cable-knit sweater and one amber-brown eye slightly lighter than the other.

Soren Hale, 39, is werewolf lodge keeper. Dryly hospitable and exact about boundaries. Remembers how everyone takes tea but does not confuse hosting with obedience. Anger makes the voice quieter, not more dominant; resents being asked to prove harmlessness with personal humiliation.

Soren Hale

A 54-year-old East Asian man with silver-streaked black hair, medium tan skin, a neat average build, burgundy fleece and square spectacles.

Gideon Price, 54, is guest and retired insurance investigator. Methodical, wary, and capable of revising an opinion when evidence changes. Uses process to contain fear and can sound accusing without intending to.

Gideon Price

A 47-year-old Nigerian British woman with dark skin, a round strong build, short natural curls, yellow scarf and blue rescue-service fleece.

Bea Okafor, 47, is mountain rescue radio operator. Capable, warm, and unimpressed by performative bravery. Asks people what they can do before assigning work.

Bea Okafor

An adult route assessor accustomed to reading snow, mapping access, and coordinating people with different risk tolerances. You have basic first-aid training, warm gear, and a legitimate room at the lodge. You are neither a law officer nor a magical authority; your personal history and appetite for danger remain yours.

A wounded stranger reaches a lodge cut off by snow. Help the werewolf keeper decide who gets shelter, who gets answers, and what is moving beyond the windows.
