TNGF
SELECTED
Richard II
primary
A slender 10-year-old boy with delicate features, pale complexion, and shoulder-length golden-brown hair. His large blue eyes reflect both youthful innocence and the weight of his new responsibilities. His small frame is dwarfed by the grandeur of the coronation regalia.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, ascetic face, deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and solemnity, and thin lips that often purse in contemplation. His white hair is neatly trimmed beneath his mitre, and his hands, though aged, are steady and deliberate.
John of Gaunt
secondary
A tall, imposing nobleman in his late 30s with a strong, angular face framed by a neatly trimmed dark beard. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and authority. His broad shoulders and upright posture reflect his military background.
Bishop
secondary
A middle-aged clergyman with a lean, ascetic build, his face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His hands are delicate, accustomed to handling sacred objects with reverence. His posture is slightly stooped from years of study and prayer.
Royal Guard
background
A tall, broad-shouldered knight in his late 30s with a weathered face, short-cropped brown hair, and a neatly trimmed beard. His hands are calloused from years of wielding weapons, and his posture exudes disciplined strength. His piercing blue eyes remain fixed downward in reverence.
