TNGF
SELECTED
Mary of Guise
primary
A statuesque woman in her early 30s with an imposing presence, standing at approximately 5'8" with a regal bearing. She has high cheekbones, pale skin, and piercing blue eyes that survey the scene with keen intelligence. Her auburn hair is neatly tucked beneath her French hood, with a few delicate curls framing her face.
Scottish Nobleman
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered yet noble countenance. His thick auburn beard is streaked with gray, and his piercing blue eyes assess the scene with cautious authority. His hands, clasped before him, bear the calluses of a man familiar with both the sword and the quill.
French Officer
secondary
A seasoned French naval officer in his late 30s, with a lean but muscular build from years at sea. His sun-weathered face bears a neatly trimmed dark beard, and his piercing blue eyes survey the disembarkation with military precision. A faint scar runs along his right cheekbone, likely from a past engagement.
Dock Worker
secondary
A burly middle-aged man with a weathered face, sun-leathered skin, and calloused hands from years of labor. His thick arms and broad shoulders speak of a life hauling cargo. Dark hair streaked with gray peeks from under a worn cap, and his beard is short and unkempt.
Scottish Guard
background
A rugged Scotsman in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by old scars. His wiry frame suggests years of military training, with broad shoulders and calloused hands gripping his halberd. His piercing blue eyes constantly scan for threats beneath a furrowed brow.

Dialog

Mary of Guise Welcome, my lord, to this historic moment where France and Scotland stand united against the English tempest.
Scottish Nobleman Aye, Madame, though we Scots know well that even fair winds may bring unexpected storms.
Mary of Guise Mon capitaine, ensure the artillery is disembarked before the tide turns—we must make Edinburgh by nones.
French Officer À vos ordres, Madame. The bronze culverins are being offloaded now.
Scottish Nobleman Your gunners will find our coastal batteries most... accommodating. Though they face east, not south.
Mary of Guise Mon ami, let us speak plainly—while England threatens your bairn queen, our cannon face only one direction.
French Officer Madame! The Swiss pikemen refuse to board the lighters until paid their advance.
