TNGF
SELECTED
Factory Worker
primary
A middle-aged man with a wiry but strong build, his face and arms covered in soot and sweat from hours of labor. His hands are calloused, and his hair is tousled under a worn cap. His eyes are tired but alert, reflecting years of hard work and the strain of wartime production.
Military Officer
primary
A stern, middle-aged Japanese officer in his late 40s, with a rigid posture and a weathered face marked by deep lines from years of service. His short-cropped hair is graying at the temples, and his dark eyes are sharp, reflecting both discipline and exhaustion. His build is lean but strong, a testament to military training.
Schoolgirl
secondary
A slender teenage girl with short, neatly trimmed black hair and dark brown eyes. Her face is youthful but carries a serious expression, reflecting the wartime atmosphere. She has a slight build, typical of adolescents during the rationing period, with her uniform slightly oversized due to rapid growth.
Nurse
secondary
A young woman in her early 20s, with a slender but sturdy build, indicative of long hours of work. Her face is pale but determined, with dark circles under her eyes from fatigue. Her hair is tied back neatly under a white nurse's cap, though a few loose strands escape, framing her face.
Elderly Woman
background
A frail old woman in her late 70s, with deeply wrinkled skin and thin, gray hair pulled back into a simple bun. Her hands are gnarled from years of labor, and her posture is slightly hunched.
