TNGF
SELECTED
William Wallace
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late twenties with a muscular build, weathered skin from years of outdoor living, and piercing blue eyes. His long, unkempt reddish-brown hair is tied back with a leather thong, and his face bears the scars of previous battles. His beard is short and rough, adding to his rugged appearance. His hands are calloused and strong, gripping his claymore with practiced ease.
Andrew Moray
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered Scottish noble in his late twenties, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His auburn hair is shoulder-length, slightly tousled from the wind and battle preparations. He wears a light beard, carefully trimmed, and has several small scars visible on his face and hands from previous skirmishes. His build is athletic, showing the strength of a seasoned warrior.
Scottish Archer
secondary
A wiry, middle-aged man with a weather-beaten face, short cropped dark hair, and a thick beard. His keen eyes are narrowed in concentration, scanning the English forces across the river. His hands are calloused from years of drawing the bow, and his stance is steady despite the tension of the moment.
English Knight
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by a prominent scar across his left cheek. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick, dark brows, and his short-cropped brown hair is slightly greying at the temples. His muscular build is evident even beneath his armor, and he carries himself with the confidence of a seasoned warrior.
English Soldier
background
A young foot soldier in his early 20s, lean but strong from years of marching and training. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, and his short brown hair is matted under his helmet. His hazel eyes are wide with fear as he watches the bridge collapse.
Dialog
William Wallace
Hold yer fire, lads! Let them pack the bridge like herring in a barrel—then loose!
Andrew Moray
Aye, Wallace—let the English fools march to their doom. The Forth will drink well today.
English Knight
Forward, you dogs! Crush these rebels! The bridge will hold—they are but peasants with sticks!
Andrew Moray
Hear that, Wallace? The Englishman calls us peasants. I’d wager his bones will snap like kindling under his fancy armor.
William Wallace
Aye, Moray—let’s see how well his steel swims when the bridge gives way. Archers—ready!
