TNGF
SELECTED
Saint Wilfrid
primary
An elderly bishop with a gaunt, weathered face framed by thinning white hair. His deep-set eyes, though clouded with age, still hold a piercing intensity. His hands, resting on the rough woolen blanket, are bony and veined, showing the marks of a lifetime of labor and prayer.
Prior
primary
A middle-aged monk with a gaunt face and deep-set eyes that reflect years of devotion and hardship. His short-cropped hair is peppered with grey, and his hands are calloused from both labor and prayer. He stands with a slight stoop, bearing the weight of his responsibilities.
Young Monk
secondary
A novice monk in his early twenties, slender and pale from long hours of prayer and fasting. His face is smooth, untouched by age, with wide, earnest eyes that reflect the candlelight. His hands are delicate, yet slightly calloused from manual labor in the monastery.
Acolyte
background
A young man in his early twenties, slender and pale from long hours spent indoors. His hands are smooth, unmarked by labor, suggesting his recent entry into monastic life. His hair is cropped short in the tonsure style, and his face is clean-shaven, reflecting the monastic discipline.
