TNGF
SELECTED
Richard III
primary
A man in his early 30s with a lean but wiry frame, standing slightly shorter than average height. His face is angular with sharp features, dark brown eyes that seem to miss nothing, and shoulder-length dark hair. His most notable physical trait is a slight unevenness in his shoulders, suggesting the scoliosis that contemporary accounts would later describe.
Archbishop of Canterbury
secondary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a gaunt face marked by deep wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. His thin white hair is neatly trimmed beneath his mitre, and his slightly stooped posture suggests years spent in study and prayer. His hands are long-fingered and delicate, with prominent veins.
Duke of Buckingham
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered nobleman in his late thirties with sharp, angular features and piercing dark eyes. His neatly trimmed beard and short brown hair frame a face accustomed to command. His bearing exudes military discipline, with the faint scar along his jawline hinting at battlefield experience.
Abbot of Westminster
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with a tonsured head and deep-set eyes that suggest years of scholarly study and spiritual contemplation. His hands are delicate, accustomed to handling sacred texts rather than manual labor.
Noblewoman
background
A high-ranking lady in her early 30s, with a slender but strong build indicative of noble breeding. Her fair complexion is framed by auburn hair neatly tucked beneath her headdress, and her sharp blue eyes reflect both intelligence and concern.
