TNGF
SELECTED
William Marshal
primary
A gaunt but still imposing figure in his early 70s, with a face deeply lined from decades of battle and statesmanship. His once-powerful frame is now withered by illness, though his hands still bear the callouses of a lifelong swordsman. His thinning white hair is cropped short in the knightly fashion, and his pale blue eyes remain sharp despite his weakened state.
Isabel de Clare
primary
A noblewoman in her late 40s, with a slender but regal build. Her once-vibrant auburn hair is now streaked with silver, worn in two long braids wrapped in silk veils. Her face bears the marks of both grief and resilience, with high cheekbones and deep-set green eyes that shimmer with unshed tears. Her hands, though delicate, show the strength of a woman who has managed vast estates.
Priest
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a tonsured head. His hands are delicate, accustomed to writing and prayer, with ink stains on his fingers from recording documents. His posture is slightly stooped from years of bending over manuscripts.
Household Knight
secondary
A broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a thick beard. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and a faded scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles. His stance is rigid with military discipline, yet his eyes betray deep emotion.
Servant
background
A young woman in her early twenties, slight of build with calloused hands from years of domestic labor. Her face is pale and drawn from exhaustion and grief, with red-rimmed eyes from silent weeping. Her brown hair is pulled back under a simple linen coif, with a few stray wisps escaping around her face.
