TNGF
SELECTED
Nicholas II
primary
A middle-aged man of average height with a neatly trimmed beard showing streaks of gray, his once-regal posture now slightly hunched from months of captivity. His pale blue eyes, though weary, retain a quiet dignity. His hands, once accustomed to holding scepters, now clasp his family protectively.
Alexandra
primary
A tall, slender woman in her mid-40s with delicate features, high cheekbones, and piercing blue eyes. Her once-lustrous auburn hair is now streaked with gray and pulled back in a simple bun. Her posture is regal despite the circumstances, though her hands tremble slightly.
Bolshevik Officer
secondary
A stern, middle-aged man with a gaunt face, sharp cheekbones, and a closely cropped beard. His cold, piercing eyes are framed by deep-set wrinkles, betraying years of hardship and resolve. He stands with a rigid posture, his lean but muscular build evident beneath his uniform. His hands are rough and calloused, one clutching the execution order tightly.
Bolshevik Guard
secondary
A young man in his early 20s, with a lean but wiry build, his face pale under the dim light of the basement. His hands grip the rifle tightly, knuckles white with tension. His eyes dart nervously between the Romanov family and the Bolshevik Officer, betraying his inexperience and unease.
Anastasia
secondary
A slender 17-year-old girl with delicate features, fair skin, and wavy auburn hair tied back in a simple braid. Her blue eyes are wide with fear, and her youthful face is pale from the stress of captivity.

Bolshevik Officer
By order of the Ural Regional Soviet, you are hereby sentenced to death.
Nicholas II
We understand. May God forgive you for what you are about to do.
Alexandra
The Lord sees all. We shall not beg for mercy from those who have none.
Bolshevik Officer
Prepare yourselves. The sentence will be carried out immediately.
Nicholas II
Children, stay close. Do not be afraid. The angels await us.
Alexandra
Together, my darlings. We face this together.
Bolshevik Officer
Enough. Raise your weapons.
