TNGF
SELECTED
Henry the Young King
primary
A young man of 15 years, tall for his age with a slender but athletic build. His fair complexion is flushed with excitement, and his golden hair is neatly trimmed, crowned by the weight of the ceremonial circlet. His bright blue eyes gleam with a mix of youthful eagerness and nervous anticipation.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man of imposing stature, with a gaunt face framed by wispy white hair. His deep-set eyes are sharp and observant, suggesting a lifetime of wisdom and political maneuvering. His hands are slightly gnarled from age, but move with deliberate precision during the ceremony.
Queen Eleanor
secondary
A regal woman in her late forties, with a commanding presence and keen, intelligent eyes. Her face bears the traces of a life lived with both power and passion, framed by a wimple that covers her graying hair. She carries herself with the grace of a seasoned ruler, her posture upright yet not rigid.
Bishop
secondary
A middle-aged man with a sturdy build, clean-shaven face, and piercing blue eyes that reflect decades of devotion. His hands are weathered from years of holding sacred texts and performing rituals.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged man of noble birth, with a lean but well-fed physique, sharp features, and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes betray a keen intellect and a hint of skepticism.
Page
background
A slender boy of about 14 years, with close-cropped brown hair and wide, nervous eyes. His hands are slightly trembling as he performs his duties, and his posture is hunched in a mix of deference and anxiety.
