TNGF
SELECTED
Queen Margaret of Anjou
primary
A striking woman in her early thirties, with a slender yet commanding presence. Her dark brown eyes burn with intensity beneath arched brows, framed by a pale complexion flushed from the cold and exertion. Her auburn hair is partially concealed beneath a jeweled hennin, with loose strands whipping in the winter wind.
Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early thirties with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes. His face is weathered from years of campaigning, and his dark brown hair is cropped short in the military style of the time. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his cheekbone, a souvenir from previous battles.
Lancastrian Captain
secondary
A grizzled veteran in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by old battle scars. His muscular frame bears the weight of years of combat, and his piercing grey eyes scan the battlefield with practiced vigilance. His dark brown hair is cropped short beneath his sallet helmet.
Yorkist Archer
secondary
A lean, wiry man in his late twenties with sunken cheeks and a close-cropped beard. His eyes are sharp and focused, with deep crow's feet from years of squinting down arrow shafts. His hands are calloused and strong, with a permanent notch on his right thumb from drawing bowstrings.
Wounded Soldier
background
A middle-aged man in his late 30s, gaunt and pale from blood loss, with a grizzled beard and sunken eyes. His chainmail is torn and bloodied, revealing a deep wound in his abdomen. His hands are frostbitten from crawling through the snow.
Dialog
Queen Margaret of Anjou
Par la grâce de Dieu, they fall before us like wheat before the scythe! Captain, press the advantage - let not a single Yorkist escape this square!
Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick
Hold fast, men of York! These Lancastrian curs think snow and steel will break us? Show them what English hearts can endure!
Lancastrian Captain
Milady! Their left flank buckles - shall we loose the archers upon them?
Queen Margaret of Anjou
Non, mon capitaine. Let Warwick see his men perish blade to blade - the snow shall run red with Yorkist blood ere nightfall.
Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick
To me, Salisbury's men! Form wedge and break through yonder alley - we'll take their queen from behind!
Lancastrian Captain
Archers! Loose at will upon any who flee toward the churchyard!
Queen Margaret of Anjou
So falls the Kingmaker's pride - let this day teach Warwick the cost of treason against his rightful king!
