TNGF
SELECTED
Saint Clare of Assisi
primary
A frail woman in her late fifties, with sunken cheeks and pale, translucent skin that speaks to years of ascetic living and recent illness. Her once-dark hair is now mostly grey, neatly tucked under her wimple. Deep-set eyes, though weakened by years of poor eyesight, still burn with spiritual intensity. Her hands are thin, the veins prominent, resting atop a rough woolen blanket.
Sister Agnes
primary
A woman in her late 40s with a slender build and work-worn hands, her face lined with both age and devotion. Her dark brown eyes, usually full of quiet determination, are now red-rimmed from suppressed tears. Faint traces of auburn remain in her otherwise grey-streaked hair beneath her wimple.
Brother Leo
secondary
A gaunt man in his late 50s with a weathered face marked by years of ascetic life. His deep-set brown eyes are framed by thick grey eyebrows, and his short-cropped hair is mostly white. His hands, clasped in prayer, bear the calluses of manual labor.
Sister Beatrice
secondary
A young woman in her early twenties with a slender, delicate frame. Her fair complexion is flushed from weeping, and her light brown hair is neatly tucked beneath her wimple. Her blue eyes are red-rimmed and downcast, reflecting her grief.
Sister Lucia
background
An elderly nun in her late 60s, with a frail but dignified frame. Her deeply lined face bears the marks of a life devoted to prayer and asceticism, with sunken cheeks and a prominent nose. Her hands, gnarled with age, clutch her rosary tightly.
