TNGF
SELECTED
Lucrezia d'Este
primary
A newborn infant with delicate features, fine dark hair, and the pale, slightly wrinkled skin typical of newborns. Her tiny hands are curled into fists, and her limbs are still adjusting to movement outside the womb.
Eleonora d'Aragona
primary
A noblewoman in her late twenties, with a pale complexion flushed from exertion, dark auburn hair slightly disheveled from childbirth, and deep-set hazel eyes that reflect both exhaustion and quiet joy. Her slender frame appears fragile in this moment, yet her posture retains regal bearing.
Midwife
secondary
A sturdy woman in her late 40s with strong, capable hands and a face lined from years of both laughter and worry. Her dark hair is streaked with gray and pulled back under a simple linen cap. She has keen, observant eyes that miss no detail.
Lady-in-Waiting
secondary
A noblewoman in her early 30s with a slender but sturdy build, her pale complexion flushed from exertion. Her dark brown hair is neatly braided and pinned beneath a modest veil, with wisps escaping around her temples. Her hands are smooth but capable, with an air of quiet efficiency.
Wet Nurse
background
A sturdy woman in her late twenties, with a robust frame suited for nursing. Her face is round and kind, with warm brown eyes and a slightly flushed complexion from the warmth of the chamber. Her dark hair is neatly tucked under a linen cap, and her hands are calloused yet gentle, accustomed to the care of infants.
Dialog
Eleonora d'Aragona
If it please the Virgin... she has her father's nose. The Duchess thanks you for your skill, good woman.
Midwife
My lady, as my grandmother used to say - a babe who cries strong will rule strong. Her lungs are excellent.
Eleonora d'Aragona
Let them prepare the silver cradle... and send word to His Grace that Ferrara has a new daughter.
Midwife
The afterbirth came cleanly, my lady. You'll want comfrey tea when the moon rises against the pain.
Eleonora d'Aragona
She shall be called Lucrezia... for the virtue she must embody.
