TNGF
SELECTED
Edward IV
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his prime, standing at 6 feet 4 inches with a commanding presence. His fair hair is tousled from battle, and his piercing blue eyes are filled with determination. His face is smeared with dirt and blood, but his regal bearing is unmistakable.
Yorkist Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened knight in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a weathered face marked by old scars. His dark brown hair is matted with sweat and snow, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both determination and weariness. His gauntleted hands grip his sword with practiced ease.
Lancastrian Soldier
secondary
A burly man in his late twenties, with a weather-beaten face and a thick beard matted with sweat and snow. His nose is crooked from past brawls, and his knuckles are scarred. His eyes are bloodshot from exhaustion and the glare of snow.
Wounded Soldier
background
A young man in his early twenties, his face pale and gaunt from blood loss and exhaustion. His dark hair is matted with sweat and snow, and his eyes are glazed with pain. His body is lean but muscular, now weakened by his injuries. A deep gash runs across his thigh, staining his leggings crimson, and his left arm hangs limply at his side, possibly dislocated or broken.
