King George VI
primary
A man in his early 40s with a slender but dignified build, his face bearing the marks of both royal duty and personal struggle. His dark hair is neatly combed, and his blue eyes reflect a mix of solemnity and quiet determination.

Archbishop of Canterbury
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, with a tall, slightly stooped frame and thinning white hair. His face is lined with age and wisdom, featuring deep-set eyes that convey both kindness and solemnity. His hands are delicate yet steady, accustomed to performing sacred rites.
Queen Elizabeth
secondary
A regal woman in her late 30s, with a poised and elegant bearing. She has soft, refined features, with expressive blue eyes and a gentle yet dignified expression. Her light brown hair is styled in a neat, period-appropriate wave, tucked beneath her coronet.
Nobleman
secondary
A distinguished high-ranking peer in his late 50s, with a refined yet slightly weathered face, sharp cheekbones, and a neatly trimmed silver mustache. His posture is upright, bearing the dignified carriage of aristocracy, and his piercing blue eyes reflect a keen awareness of the historical moment.
