TNGF
SELECTED
Lady Jane Grey
primary
A slender young woman of 16 with pale, almost translucent skin and delicate features. Her light brown hair is neatly braided and adorned with small pearls, framing a face marked by intelligent grey-blue eyes that seem too knowing for her age. Her posture is rigidly correct, betraying her noble upbringing, but her hands tremble slightly.
Guildford Dudley
primary
A slender young man of 18 years with fair, shoulder-length hair and a clean-shaven face. His sharp Tudor features include a prominent nose and high cheekbones, with piercing blue eyes that betray both youthful arrogance and underlying apprehension.
Lady Dudley
secondary
A stately woman in her late 40s with a sharp, angular face and piercing dark eyes that miss nothing. Her posture is rigidly upright, betraying her noble upbringing, and her hands are adorned with several rings that glint in the candlelight.
Protestant Bishop
secondary
A middle-aged man of solemn bearing, with a gaunt face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent nose. His thinning gray hair is cropped short in clerical fashion, and his hands bear the ink stains of frequent scripture study.
Noble Guest
background
A middle-aged Tudor nobleman with a lean build, sharp features, and a neatly trimmed beard. His dark brown hair is streaked with grey, swept back from a high forehead. His piercing blue eyes dart nervously around the room.
