TNGF
SELECTED
Henry VII
primary
A lean man of average height with sharp, angular features and piercing dark eyes. His face is clean-shaven, revealing a prominent chin and thin lips. His auburn hair is cut short in the fashion of the nobility, with a slight wave. His posture is upright, conveying regal authority despite his relatively modest stature.
Elizabeth of York
primary
A tall, fair-skinned woman of 19 with delicate features, high cheekbones, and long golden hair partially concealed beneath her headdress. Her blue eyes reflect both regal composure and youthful vulnerability. She carries herself with the grace of royal breeding but with a slight tension in her shoulders.
Bishop
secondary
A tall, elderly man with a gaunt face, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. His thin white hair is neatly trimmed, and his hands are slightly gnarled with age but steady as he holds the ceremonial items. His posture is upright, exuding authority and solemnity.
Lady-in-Waiting
secondary
A young woman in her early twenties, with a slender yet sturdy build, indicative of noble upbringing. Her fair complexion is flushed with emotion, and her hazel eyes glisten with unshed tears. Her dark brown hair is neatly tucked beneath her headdress, with a few delicate strands escaping to frame her face.
Nobleman
background
A middle-aged man of noble bearing, with a lean but strong build, indicative of a life spent in both court and battlefield. His face is weathered, with sharp features and a neatly trimmed beard, showing signs of past hardships. His eyes are keen, observing the ceremony with a mix of wariness and cautious optimism.

Dialog

Henry VII It pleases us to take this lady as our lawful wife, that by God's grace and the bonds of matrimony, the wounds of our realm may be healed.
