TNGF
SELECTED
Cleopatra VII
primary
A striking woman in her early 20s, with a slender yet regal build, almond-shaped eyes, and a prominent nose. Her skin is a warm olive tone, and her dark, wavy hair is adorned with golden beads and a diadem. Her presence commands attention, exuding both intelligence and sensuality.
Julius Caesar
primary
A middle-aged Roman general and statesman with a lean, athletic build, sharp features, and piercing dark eyes. His hair is thinning slightly, combed forward in the Roman style, and his face bears the marks of years of military campaigns.
Chief Midwife
secondary
A middle-aged Egyptian woman with a sturdy, practical build, her dark hair streaked with gray and pulled back into a simple braid. Her hands are strong and capable, with short nails kept clean for her work. Her face bears the lines of experience, with keen, observant eyes that miss nothing.
Attendant
secondary
A young Egyptian woman in her early twenties, with a slender yet strong build, indicative of her laborious duties. Her dark, almond-shaped eyes are focused intently on her tasks, and her olive-toned skin glows softly in the lamplight. Her black hair is neatly braided and pinned back to keep it out of her face while she works.
Ptolemy XV (Caesarion)
background
A newborn infant with delicate features, his skin still slightly flushed from birth. He has a small tuft of dark hair and his eyes are closed, his tiny fingers curled into fists. His body is wrapped snugly in fine linen, his face the only visible part.
Dialog
Cleopatra VII
Behold, great Caesar, the living embodiment of our union—Ptolemy Caesar, who shall bridge the Nile and the Tiber as no other before him.
Julius Caesar
By Jupiter's will, he is strong—a true son of Rome and Egypt. His destiny shall be as vast as the empire we forge together.
Chief Midwife
The child breathes well, great lady. The gods smile upon him—Isis has blessed this birth with her protection.
Cleopatra VII
Let his first breath in this world be a promise—one that even the Senate in Rome cannot ignore.
Julius Caesar
The Fates weave as they will, domina. But this child... he is a thread no man dare cut.
Chief Midwife
The hour is auspicious—born under the eye of Ra at dawn. He will need milk soon, great lady. Shall I summon the wet nurse?
Cleopatra VII
No. He shall feed from my own breast, as the pharaohs of old were nurtured. Let Rome see his mother's strength flows in his veins.
