Characters

John F. Kennedy
primary
A 46-year-old man with a lean, athletic build, standing at 6 feet tall. He has thick, chestnut-brown hair swept back with a distinctive widow's peak, piercing blue eyes, and a slightly tanned complexion. His face shows the wear of political life but retains a youthful charm.
Secret Service Agent
primary
A fit, clean-cut man in his early 30s with a square jaw and short-cropped dark hair. His sharp blue eyes constantly scan the surroundings, and his posture is rigid with readiness. He has a slight tan from outdoor duty and a faint scar above his right eyebrow.
Jacqueline Kennedy
secondary
A slender woman in her early 30s with delicate features, dark brown hair styled in her signature bouffant, and expressive brown eyes. Her posture is elegant, reflecting her upbringing and role as First Lady.
Lee Harvey Oswald
secondary
A slender, pale man in his early 20s with a receding hairline and sharp features. His eyes are intense and focused, with dark circles suggesting fatigue or stress. He has a wiry build, standing about 5'9" tall.
Spectator
background
A middle-aged man of average build, with a slightly weathered face and short, dark hair. His eyes are wide with shock, and his mouth is slightly agape. He wears a simple wristwatch and has a slightly hunched posture from years of manual labor.
