TNGF
SELECTED
Mary, Queen of Scots
primary
A striking young woman of 22 years with a tall, graceful figure, pale complexion, and auburn hair arranged in an elaborate French-style coiffure. Her piercing hazel eyes convey both intelligence and regal bearing, with delicate features that reflect her royal lineage.
Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley
primary
A tall, slender young man in his early twenties with fair, almost delicate features, light brown hair worn slightly long in the fashion of the nobility, and a carefully groomed beard. His pale complexion and slightly weak chin are offset by piercing blue eyes that convey both ambition and a touch of arrogance.
Scottish Noble
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face, deep-set blue eyes, and a closely trimmed auburn beard streaked with grey. His strong jawline and prominent nose give him a commanding presence.
English Diplomat
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a lean, wiry build, sharp features, and piercing blue eyes that seem to miss nothing. His neatly trimmed beard and short, greying hair suggest a man of careful grooming and discipline.
Priest
background
A middle-aged man of slight build with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes, his thinning gray hair barely visible beneath his clerical cap. His hands are delicate yet show the calluses of frequent prayer and writing.

Mary, Queen of Scots Ma foi, let none say we have acted without due consideration for Scotland's welfare in this matter.
Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley Does my lady wife doubt my devotion? Or is it others who whisper poison in her ear?
Scottish Noble The ancient bonds of Scotland have weathered many storms, Your Grace. We shall watch how this tempest fares.
