TNGF
SELECTED
Mary, Queen of Scots
primary
A fair-skinned infant of nine months old with wisps of auburn hair and bright, curious eyes. Her delicate features and small, plump hands contrast with the weight of the royal regalia surrounding her.
Archbishop David Beaton
primary
A tall, imposing man in his late 50s with a gaunt face, deep-set piercing eyes, and a neatly trimmed silver beard. His high cheekbones and aquiline nose give him an air of austere authority. His hands are long-fingered and expressive, often used in solemn gestures during ceremonies.
Noblewoman
secondary
A high-ranking lady in her early forties, with a poised and graceful bearing. She has a fair complexion, high cheekbones, and dark brown hair neatly braided beneath her headdress. Her hands are delicate yet strong, cradling the infant queen with practiced care.
Guard Captain
secondary
A seasoned military officer in his mid-40s, with a broad-shouldered, muscular build from years of training. His face bears the weathered lines of a man who has spent much time outdoors, with a strong jaw and a neatly trimmed beard streaked with gray. His piercing blue eyes scan the crowd with a disciplined intensity.
Scottish Nobleman
background
A middle-aged man with a sturdy frame and a weathered face, marked by the harsh Scottish climate. His dark auburn hair is streaked with grey, pulled back into a short tail, and his beard is neatly trimmed. His piercing blue eyes scan the room with a calculating gaze.
Dialog
Archbishop David Beaton
Deus omnipotens, hanc parvulam reginam in solium tuum collocare digneris... May the Lord bless and keep this child sovereign, Mary, Queen of Scots.
Noblewoman
Votre petit majesté rests tranquil, Your Grace. The enfant bears this holy office with Stewart fortitude.
Archbishop David Beaton
Mind the sacred oil does not touch the babe's eyes, my child. Even Solomon's wisdom came not to kings in swaddling clothes.
Noblewoman
As you command, My Lord Archbishop. Yet surely the Holy Spirit guides even the smallest hands that must bear Scotland's crown.
