TNGF
SELECTED
Emperor Hadrian
primary
A stately Roman man in his early 50s, with a lean but strong build from years of military campaigns. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman fashion, with sharp features and deep-set, observant eyes. His hair is short and slightly graying at the temples, combed neatly forward in the imperial style.
Chief Midwife
primary
A middle-aged woman of strong, stocky build, with deep-set dark brown eyes and hands toughened by years of practice. Her hair is streaked with gray and tightly bound under a simple linen cap. A faint scar runs along her left cheekbone, testament to a lifetime of service.
Attendant
secondary
A young woman in her early twenties, of slight but sturdy build, with olive-toned skin and dark brown hair neatly tied back in a simple braid. Her hands are calloused from years of service, and her movements are precise and efficient. Her dark eyes are watchful, reflecting her attentiveness to the midwife's needs.
Wet Nurse
secondary
A robust woman in her late twenties with a full figure, strong arms, and a healthy complexion. Her dark brown hair is neatly tied back in a simple braid, and her hands are clean and capable, used to the tasks of caring for infants. Her face carries the quiet confidence of someone experienced in her role.

Hear the lungs of this little bull! A son for Rome, Dominus.

The mother drinks poppy-water now. She's borne this like a Vestal bears sacred fire.
