TNGF
SELECTED
Basque Mother
primary
A young Basque woman in her late 20s, with a slender but strong build from years of rural labor. Her dark brown hair has come loose from its traditional braid, now streaked with ash and dust. Her olive skin is smudged with soot, and her dark eyes are wide with terror yet fiercely protective. She has a small scar above her left eyebrow from childhood.
Basque Child
secondary
A young child, approximately 5-6 years old, with a small, fragile frame and wide, fearful eyes. Their face is smudged with dirt and soot, and their hair is tousled from running. Their hands are tightly gripping their mother's skirt, knuckles white from the effort.
Elderly Priest
secondary
A frail but determined man in his late 70s, with a deeply lined face and thinning white hair. His sunken eyes show both exhaustion and resolve, with bushy white eyebrows that furrow in concern. His hands are gnarled with age but move with purpose.
Injured Man
background
A middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face streaked with soot and blood. His dark hair is matted with sweat and dust, and his eyes are wide with pain and fear. A deep wound on his left leg leaves a crimson trail as he moves.
Condor Legion Pilot
background
A young German pilot in his mid-20s, with a lean but athletic build. His face is partially obscured by his flight goggles and oxygen mask, but his sharp jawline and short, cropped blond hair are visible. His hands grip the controls with practiced ease, and his posture is tense but controlled.
