TNGF
SELECTED
French Captain
primary
A middle-aged man in his late 30s, with a lean but muscular build from years of military service. His face is weathered from campaigns, with sharp features and a trimmed dark beard. His dark eyes are intense, reflecting the heat of battle.
Scottish Lieutenant
primary
A rugged man in his early 30s with a wiry build and a face weathered by campaigns. His sharp blue eyes scan the battlefield intently, framed by a short, reddish-brown beard. A faded scar runs along his left cheekbone, a souvenir from previous clashes with English forces.
English Defender
secondary
A battle-weary English soldier in his late 20s, with a muscular but now exhausted build. His face is streaked with dirt and sweat, and his left arm is wrapped in a bloodied makeshift bandage. His right hand grips a notched sword tightly, and his stance is unsteady but resolute. His short brown hair is matted with grime, and his eyes are wide with a mix of pain and determination.
Local Woman
secondary
A middle-aged woman of sturdy build, with weathered skin and sun-streaked brown hair hastily tied back under a kerchief. Her face is flushed with exertion and fear, and her hands are rough from manual labor.
Child
background
A young boy, approximately 5 or 6 years old, with a thin frame and tousled brown hair. His face is smudged with dirt and tears, and his wide, fearful eyes are red from crying. His small hands clutch desperately at the Local Woman, seeking safety.
Scottish Soldier
background
A rugged, battle-hardened Scotsman in his late 20s with a wiry but strong build. His face is smudged with soot and dirt, and a fresh cut marks his cheek from the fight. His red beard is matted with sweat, and his piercing blue eyes are focused intently on the task at hand.
