TNGF
SELECTED
Henry VI
primary
A small, delicate boy of eight years with fair, almost translucent skin and large, watery blue eyes. His thin frame is dwarfed by the heavy regalia, and his fine, light brown hair is neatly combed beneath the weight of the crown. His hands are small and slightly trembling, clutching the orb and sceptre with uncertain grip.
Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a gaunt but dignified face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His thin white hair is neatly trimmed beneath his mitre, and his hands are slightly gnarled with age but steady.
Duke of Bedford
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 40s with a weathered face that speaks of years of military campaigns. His sharp blue eyes are framed by deep-set wrinkles, and his dark brown hair is streaked with grey, kept neatly trimmed. His posture is upright, exuding authority, but there's a slight tension in his jaw.
Nobleman
secondary
A middle-aged lord with a sharp, angular face, clean-shaven with a neatly trimmed mustache. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thin eyebrows, and his high cheekbones give him a regal appearance. He stands with an upright posture, exuding an air of quiet authority.
Abbot of Westminster
background
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a gaunt face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His hands are delicate yet strong, accustomed to handling sacred texts and vestments. His posture is slightly stooped from years of study and prayer.

Dialog

Henry VI Is... is the oil very cold, my lord?
Archbishop of Canterbury The chill shall pass, Your Grace, as winter yields to spring. Thus is the anointing, as Solomon was marked by the Lord's own hand.
Duke of Bedford Steady now, nephew. Remember—a king's bearing is his armor.
Henry VI I... I shall try, Uncle Bedford. But the crown feels heavier than I thought.
Archbishop of Canterbury Coram Deo et populo, we witness this sacred burden placed upon shoulders yet tender. May divine wisdom temper its weight.
Duke of Bedford By your leave, Archbishop—the realm requires its king be seen as stalwart, though the boy be young.
Henry VI Shall I... shall I stand very straight? Like Father's effigy at Westminster?
