TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Gregory IX
primary
An elderly man in his late 70s, with a frail but dignified build. His face is lined with age and wisdom, featuring a prominent nose and deep-set, piercing eyes that convey both authority and compassion. His white hair is thinning, and he sports a short, well-groomed beard.
Cardinal Protector
secondary
A tall, imposing figure in his late 50s with a full head of silver hair and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes convey both wisdom and authority, while his slightly hunched posture suggests years of scholarly work.
Franciscan Friar
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a gaunt face marked by years of ascetic living. His sunken cheeks and deep-set eyes reflect a life of devotion and hardship. His hands, clasped in prayer, are rough and calloused from manual labor.
Townsman
background
A middle-aged man of modest build, with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands from manual labor. His dark brown hair is streaked with gray, tied back loosely with a simple leather cord. His face bears the marks of a hard life but now shines with devotion.
Noblewoman
background
A middle-aged woman of noble birth, with a slender yet poised figure. Her fair complexion is accentuated by delicate features, including high cheekbones and a slightly upturned nose. Her hands are adorned with rings, and her posture exudes an air of quiet dignity.

Dialog

Pope Gregory IX In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, we declare this day that Franciscus Assisiensis, by the grace of Almighty God and the authority of Holy Mother Church, is numbered among the saints.
Cardinal Protector As Holy Mother Church teaches, the life of this blessed friar stands as a testament to divine grace and the power of humility.
Franciscan Friar Oh, blessed Francis... to see you thus glorified... my heart overflows with joy.
Pope Gregory IX Let all who seek the path of righteousness look to his example, for in poverty he found richness, and in humility, exaltation.
Cardinal Protector Indeed, Your Holiness. His life was a living gospel, written not on parchment but in deeds of love.
Franciscan Friar Praise be to God, who has shown us such mercy... to give us a saint among us.
Pope Gregory IX May his intercession bring us closer to the divine, and may his spirit guide the Church in these troubled times.
