TNGF
SELECTED
Cleopatra VII
primary
A striking woman in her late 30s with a regal bearing, olive complexion, and prominent Ptolemaic features—a strong nose, full lips, and almond-shaped eyes lined with kohl. Her dark, wavy hair is arranged in the traditional melon hairstyle of Ptolemaic queens, adorned with golden pins. She carries herself with the effortless grace of a ruler, though her posture now bears the weight of impending doom.
Iras
secondary
A young Egyptian woman in her early 20s, with a slender yet graceful build. Her dark, almond-shaped eyes are filled with sorrow, and her olive skin is smooth, reflecting her youth. Her black hair is neatly braided and adorned with simple golden beads, a modest touch of elegance.
Charmion
secondary
A young Egyptian woman in her early 20s, with a slender yet strong build, indicative of her active role as a handmaiden. Her dark, almond-shaped eyes are lined with kohl, and her olive skin is smooth and unblemished. Her black hair is neatly braided and adorned with small golden beads, reflecting her status within the royal household.
Roman Guard
background
A tall, muscular Roman soldier in his late 20s to early 30s, with a weathered face, short-cropped dark hair, and a clean-shaven jaw. His skin is tanned from years of military campaigns, and his posture is rigid with military discipline. His piercing eyes are fixed on the scene before him, reflecting a mix of shock and reluctant admiration.
