Characters

Charles V of France
primary
A slender young man of 26 years with sharp Valois features—high cheekbones, a slightly aquiline nose, and deep-set brown eyes that convey both intelligence and wariness. His dark hair is cropped short in the fashion of French nobility, with a neatly trimmed beard framing his jaw. His pale complexion shows the strain of recent political turmoil.
Archbishop of Reims
primary
An elderly man of considerable stature, with a gaunt face marked by deep lines of wisdom and piety. His silver hair is neatly trimmed beneath his mitre, and his piercing blue eyes reflect a lifetime of theological study and ecclesiastical authority.
Queen Jeanne
secondary
A graceful woman in her late twenties, with delicate features and a poised demeanor. Her fair complexion is complemented by her piercing blue eyes, which reflect both intelligence and solemnity. Her dark blonde hair is intricately braided and adorned with fine jewels, signifying her royal status.
Bishop
secondary
A middle-aged clergyman with a lean build, clean-shaven face, and deep-set eyes that convey both devotion and weariness. His hands, though steady, show the faint tremors of age and the weight of his duties.
Noblewoman
background
A refined lady of the French court, approximately 30 years of age, with a slender yet graceful build. Her pale complexion is accentuated by high cheekbones and delicate features, framed by tightly braided auburn hair concealed beneath her headdress. Her hands are adorned with several rings, indicating her noble status.
Guard Captain
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, a thick beard streaked with gray, and piercing blue eyes that scan the crowd with military precision. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and he carries himself with the upright posture of a career soldier.
