Aurora had one of Mallia's deep, dark indigo roses in her hair, holding it back with its black leaves, and she wore Stephan's crown, even as she wore her peasant clothes, complete with soil on her knees and the pendant "Vina" had given her around her neck. Philip was in his civilian disguise as well, his own father's crown merely hanging from his belt, held but not actually worn.

There were unicorns -- thin, long-legged deer-looking creatures, rather than big strong horse-type ones, with long tails which were mostly bare until the big tuft at the end. They had the usual long manes and silky-looking fluff around their hooves... and their horns, twisting up from their forehead, occasionally had a secondary little horn poking up as well, kirin-like.
There were dragons, as well -- long thin serpentine creatures which probably only weighed twice, maybe three times at most as much as a human would, their wings all (literal) extensions of their forelimbs, from the wrist. The statues agreed with the times she'd depicted them with her illusions: scale-less, with sometimes a little bit of fur here or there.
And there were a few poppets among them -- one of them, a life-sized patchwork doll, one as tall as any adult, who had stitches practically covering their quilt-like body to the point of rivaling the fabric itself.

a trio of "humans"The three seem to be humans: no slightly-too-big eyes, no pointed ears. All three of them are fairly young adults. The first is a blond guy, the second, a tall brown-haired guy, and the third, a black-haired lady. They stood together, one of Mallia's roses in the lady's hair, what looked like a black butterfly with purple wing edges on one of the guys', and an ornate black wine bottle between the three of them, roses adorning the surface of it. Whatever the bottle is made of, perhaps moonstone and amethyst were thrown into the mix, because it actually seems to shine silver and purple, where the light hits it just right... as if it were holding some of that black entberry wine Mallia's so fond of and always keeps available at the table for everyone.
Mallia herself can be found wandering among the statues, inspecting other people's in silence, expression unreadable, lost in thought. If she's spotted by the statue of her friend Sia/Merlin, they might find her messing with the orb of his staff a bit, seemingly discontent with it.
