TNGF
SELECTED
John F. Kennedy
primary
A tall, slender man in his mid-40s with auburn hair, sharp blue eyes, and a distinctive Bostonian profile. His posture is upright despite chronic back pain, with a youthful vigor that belies his medical struggles.
Jackie Kennedy
primary
A slender woman in her early 30s with delicate features, high cheekbones, and a poised demeanor. Her dark brown hair is styled in her signature bouffant, and her expressive brown eyes convey a mix of elegance and sudden distress.
Secret Service Agent
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early 30s with a clean-shaven face and short-cropped dark hair. His piercing eyes scan the surroundings with military precision, and his muscular frame suggests rigorous physical training. His jaw is set in determination, and his posture exudes readiness.
Lee Harvey Oswald
secondary
A slender, pale man in his early 20s with a receding hairline and sharp features. His build is wiry, with narrow shoulders and a slightly hunched posture. His eyes are intense and focused, with dark circles suggesting fatigue or stress.
Bystander
background
A middle-aged man in his late 40s, with a slightly weathered face, short brown hair, and a lean build. His eyes are wide with shock, and his mouth is slightly agape. He wears a short-sleeved button-up shirt tucked into belted trousers, typical of the early 1960s working-class attire.
