TNGF
SELECTED
Edward IV
primary
A tall, powerfully built man in his late twenties, with broad shoulders and a commanding presence. His fair hair is shoulder-length, and his clean-shaven face bears the marks of battle. Piercing blue eyes survey the battlefield with strategic intensity.
Margaret of Anjou
primary
A woman in her early forties, with a regal bearing despite the hardships of war. Her once-vibrant auburn hair is now streaked with grey, tied back severely under her headdress. Her piercing blue eyes, lined with fatigue, still burn with determination. She stands tall, though her shoulders bear the weight of leadership.
Prince Edward
secondary
A young man of 17 years, with a slender but wiry build, still filling into his frame. His fair hair, slightly tousled beneath his helmet, frames a face that is more boyish than manly, with sharp blue eyes that hold a mix of determination and apprehension. His chin is clean-shaven, revealing the youthfulness of his features, though his jaw is set with resolve.
Yorkist Knight
secondary
A battle-hardened warrior in his late 30s, with a muscular build from years of combat. His face is weathered, with a prominent scar running from his left temple to cheekbone. His steel-grey eyes are sharp and focused, framed by thick eyebrows. His dark brown hair is cropped short to fit under his helmet.
Lancastrian Archer
background
A lean man in his late twenties, with sun-weathered skin and calloused hands. His short, unkempt brown hair is damp with sweat, and his weary eyes betray the toll of prolonged battle. His wiry frame suggests years of labor, likely as a farmer or laborer before joining the Lancastrian cause.
Dialog
Edward IV
By the grace of God and the might of our arms, we shall see this day won ere the sun sets! To me, loyal men of York!
Margaret of Anjou
Mon fils, stay close. The Yorkist dogs snap at our heels, but we shall break them upon our spears!
Yorkist Knight
They falter, lads! Press the advantage! For King Edward and the white rose!
Edward IV
Mark well their center—it weakens. Let us strike swift as the hawk, and as merciless.
Margaret of Anjou
Hold fast! Let not a single yard be yielded! For Lancaster and for England!
Yorkist Knight
Aye, the queen screeches, but her talons dull! Forward, before their archers regroup!
Edward IV
Then let us end this. Sound the charge!
