TNGF
SELECTED
Franklin D. Roosevelt
primary
A tall, middle-aged man with a strong upper body despite his polio-weakened legs. His face is lined with the weight of leadership, featuring a prominent jawline and piercing blue eyes behind round, wire-rimmed glasses. His graying hair is neatly combed back, and he wears a confident yet weary expression.
Military Aide
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a stern, clean-shaven face and short, salt-and-pepper hair. His posture is rigid, reflecting his military training, and his piercing blue eyes convey both focus and a hint of unease.
Secretary
secondary
A middle-aged woman in her early 40s, with a slender but sturdy build, indicative of long hours spent at her duties. Her dark brown hair is neatly pinned back in a conservative style, and her pale complexion is free of makeup, save for a hint of lipstick. Her hands are well-manicured but show signs of frequent typing and handling of documents.
White House Butler
background
A middle-aged African American man of average height with a lean build, his dark hair neatly trimmed and showing slight graying at the temples. His posture is impeccable, reflecting years of service in formal settings.
