TNGF
SELECTED
King Louis XVI
primary
A portly man in his mid-thirties with a round face, pale complexion, and a prominent double chin. His light brown hair is powdered and tied back in a queue, with a receding hairline. His blue eyes show a mix of apprehension and forced composure. His posture is slightly hunched, betraying his discomfort.
Market Woman Leader
primary
A robust woman in her late 40s with sun-weathered skin and strong, calloused hands. Her dark hair is tied back in a simple kerchief, with wisps escaping to frame her sharp, angular face. Her piercing blue eyes burn with intensity, and her posture exudes authority despite her humble origins.
Royal Guard Captain
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face, deep-set brown eyes, and a neatly trimmed mustache. His military bearing is evident in his upright posture and the scars on his hands from years of service.
Revolutionary Soldier
secondary
A young man in his mid-20s with a lean but muscular build, his face marked by the hardships of recent months. His dark hair is tied back in a simple queue, and his piercing blue eyes reflect a mix of determination and inner conflict. A fresh scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to recent skirmishes.
Baker's Wife
background
A gaunt woman in her mid-30s with hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, her once-strong frame now weakened by hunger. Her hands are rough from years of kneading dough, now clutching an empty basket with desperate intensity.

Royal Guard Captain Par ordre du roi, reculez d'un pas! Cette assemblée doit rester ordonnée!
Market Woman Leader Ordre? L'ordre c'est que le boulanger, la boulangère et le petit mitron viennent à Paris!
King Louis XVI Mon capitaine, peut-être si nous... c'est-à-dire... une distribution de grains pourrait...
Market Woman Leader Assez de 'peut-être'! Nous voulons du pain aujourd'hui, pas des promesses pour demain!
Royal Guard Captain Sire, je vous en conjure - retirez-vous à l'intérieur. Cette foule n'est plus raisonnable.
