TNGF
SELECTED
Elizabeth I
primary
A young woman of 25, Elizabeth I stands tall and regal with a pale, oval face framed by fiery red hair. Her piercing dark eyes survey the scene with keen intelligence, and her posture exudes both grace and authority. Her skin is smooth and fair, with a faint rosiness in her cheeks from the chill of the abbey.
Catholic Bishop
secondary
A gaunt, elderly man with a deeply lined face and sharp, disapproving eyes. His posture is rigid, with hands clasped tightly in front of him, knuckles whitened from tension. A prominent crucifix hangs from a chain around his neck, which he occasionally touches as if for reassurance.
Protestant Noble
secondary
A middle-aged man of commanding presence, with a well-groomed beard and piercing blue eyes that reflect his keen intellect. His tall, lean frame is draped in fine garments, and his hands, though delicate, bear the calluses of a man who has wielded a sword in defense of his beliefs.
Abbey Servant
background
A young woman in her early twenties, slight of build with fair skin and dark brown hair neatly tucked under a simple coif. Her hands are calloused from years of labor, yet she moves with practiced grace.

Dialog

Elizabeth I We are well pleased to see so many faithful subjects gathered here in unity this day.
Catholic Bishop Unity? *sotto voce* More like sacrilege. By the Holy See, this shall not stand.
Protestant Noble Mark you how she walks with God's own grace? The Lord hath surely smiled upon England this day.
Elizabeth I Let all men know we shall be as Solomon - wise in judgment and steadfast in faith.
Catholic Bishop *muttering* 'Steadfast' indeed. *O tempora, o mores!*
Protestant Noble Your Majesty's wisdom shines like the noonday sun - may it banish all shadows of discord.
Elizabeth I We shall need both sun and rain to tend our garden, my lord. But today, we celebrate its blossoming.
