Rose of Versailles/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: She's a stylish [[Bifauxnen]] and [[Action Girl]]. This was bound to happen.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* {{spoiler|[[Her Heart Will Go On]]}}

* [[Hot Blooded]]: She's rather level-headed until someone she cares for is in danger. ''Then'' she'll become this, and you'll have a '''fucking pissed off''' Oscar after your head.

* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: {{spoiler|Oscar refuses to kill Bernard "Black Knight" Chatêlet, the one to blame for André's Eye Scream situation, because of this.}}

* [[Let Them Die Happy|Let Them Pretend Happy]]: André starts losing eyesight on his remaining eye, and at some point he stands next to Oscar's new portrait and starts giving a flowery false description of it to not let Oscar know his eyesight problems. Oscar then tearfully says the picture is as gorgeous as he says it is, not having the heart to tell André that she knows he's almost blind.

* {{spoiler|[[Love Epiphany]]: "My André is in danger!" (...) "My... André...?"}}

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: At least in the manga, she has a fur-trimmed cape.

* [[Raised As the Opposite Gender]]: She was the youngest daughter of a high-ranked military man, so she was raised as a boy by her dad.

** [[The Other Darrin]]

* [[Say My Name]]: "ANDRÉ!"

* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]

* [[Staring Through the Sword]]: At least three times.

* [[Bishonen]]: Sure, they all are in this series, but still.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: A handsome commoner guy in love with the noblewoman he's known ever since childhood? Right before the French Revolution? It's bound to happen.

* [[Childhood Friends]]: Him and Oscar. {{spoiler|Kinda was Unlucky in the beginning when she loved Fersen, then switches to Victorious.}}

* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: When {{spoiler|his eyesight is failing more and more ''and'' he learns that Oscar plans to die as a man. He confronts her in a ''very'' polemic scene that can be easily seen as [[Near Rape Experience]], though to his credit he ''does'' realize he's wrong and apologizes profusely. The incident is also seen (in the anime) as a proof of how immature he is.}}

* [[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]: Before he cuts them to impersonate the Black Knight.

* [[Nice Guy]]

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Starts off as a mild version of it, especially in the manga. [[Break the Cutie|But then...]]

* [[Raised By Grandparents]]: His parents died when he was a little boy, so his grandmother took him in. She also happened to be the housekeeper and nanny of the Jarjayes.

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: In the manga, Oscar walks in on him while he's changing out of his rainsoaked uniform. Her getting all flustered is one of the first signs that {{spoiler|she's developping feelings for him}}.

* [[The Lancer]]: To Oscar's [[The Heroine]].

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Yep, nary a single cutie is left unbroken in the series.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Rosalie wasn't very well liked by Japanese readers, so she faded away from the spotlight as time passes.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Historical Domain Character]]: Loosely. There ''was'' a Rosalie Lamorliere in real life ([[Marie Antoinette]]'s caretaker and maid when she was imprisoned), but she obviously wasn't like the girl we meet in this manga.

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: In the manga, she has a fur-trimmed cape and [[media:rosalie_her_love_00_1104.jpg|a jacket and muff]].

* {{spoiler|[[Rags to Royalty]]: She's a ''sort'' of [[Sleeping Beauty]]. Her then-teenaged mother gave her up to a poor family, thus Rosa has no idea of how said mom has gone [[Rags to Riches]] in the meantime and considers herself the daughter of Nicole Lamorliere for a long while.}}

* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]

* {{spoiler|[[Psycho for Hire]]: Until he "finds" Oscar and Andre}}

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Rags to Royalty]]: The most twisted ''Cinderella'' type '''ever'''. She claims to be a long lost Valois princess and manages to fool an old noblewoman with it, then kills her benefactor to inherit her riches. [[It Got Worse|It gets worse, and worse, and worse...]]}}

* [[Smug Snake]]

* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]: She kills her husband Nicolas and then herself, in the anime. In the manga, she falls victim to [[Death By Falling Over]].}}

* [[Badass]]

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: When {{spoiler|his little sister Dianne kills herself}}, Oscar and Andre find him sitting {{spoiler|next to her death bed}}, his body tense and his eyes full of tears of despair.

* [[Princess Curls]]: Subtle, but she does have them, even when her hairstyles change.

* [[True Blue Femininity]]: Wears quite a few blue dresses.

* [[Whole Costume Reference]]: The bejeweled ermine dresses are heavily based on [[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marie_Leszczynska_by_Fran<!-- C3A7ois_Albert_Stiemart,_1726,_Versailles.jpg this dress worn by Marie Leszczynska, wife of Lois XV]]. It's even more clear in some side art for the manga. -->
