Student Leader
primary
A young man in his early 20s, with a lean but wiry build, his face flushed with exertion and passion. His dark hair is disheveled, falling over his forehead, and his piercing brown eyes burn with revolutionary fire. His hands are calloused from work, yet his posture is that of an educated man.
Royal Officer
primary
A weary but resolute officer in the royal troops, his uniform slightly disheveled from the chaos. His face is lined with exhaustion and the weight of responsibility.
Protesters
secondary
A diverse group of working-class men and women, their faces smeared with soot and sweat. Some wear the tattered remnants of their tradesmen's aprons, while others are dressed in the rough-spun clothing of the urban poor. Their hands are calloused and dirty from labor, now gripping cobblestones and makeshift weapons.
Royal Trooper
secondary
A young soldier in the royal troops, his uniform slightly disheveled from the chaos of the street fighting. His face is pale, and his hands tremble slightly as he grips his musket.
Wounded Man
background
A civilian man in his 40s, with a deep gash on his forehead, blood trickling down his face. His clothes are torn and dirty from the chaos.
