Mamen’s description: “Two armed Oronchons”.

From overall expression, the one at right looks like a women. However from clothing and arms there is no distinguishing feature to prove that is a woman, except there is a bit of loose hair like thing makes the person look more like a woman. Both people are wearing long garments and boots and hats with turned up brims, bullet bags and the one at the right also wears cartridge belt and pistol with holster apart from having a rifle as the one at the left does.
