Death of Cleopatra VII

Setting

TNGF
SELECTED
Cleopatra VII
primary
A woman in her late 30s with a statuesque Mediterranean build, olive skin, and prominent Ptolemaic features including a strong nose and full lips. Her dark eyes are lined with kohl in the Egyptian fashion, and her wavy black hair is arranged in the traditional melon hairstyle of Ptolemaic queens.
Iras
secondary
A mature Egyptian woman in her late 40s, with a slender but strong build honed from years of service. Her dark hair is neatly braided and pinned beneath a simple linen headscarf. Her almond-shaped eyes bear the faint traces of kohl, though much has been smudged by recent tears. Her hands, though delicate, show the calluses of a lifetime of diligent work.
Charmion
secondary
A young Egyptian woman in her early twenties, slender and graceful with dark, almond-shaped eyes and smooth olive skin. Her black hair is neatly braided and adorned with small golden beads, framing her delicate features. Her hands are delicate but strong, accustomed to intricate tasks.
Roman Guard
background
A young, muscular soldier in his late 20s with short-cropped dark hair and a clean-shaven face. His sun-weathered skin and scarred knuckles suggest years of military service. His wide brown eyes are fixed on the scene before him, his mouth slightly agape.
