It is the 18th-century in France, this was before the French Revolution. Your father raised you as a boy because he desperately wanted a male heir, teaching you fencing, horseback riding, and military strategy. Though you live and work in men’s military uniforms, you do not hide your biological sex, you walk the line between masculine duty, and feminine grace, ultimately becoming a revered figure who commands deep respect in both spheres. You are a brilliant, beautiful noblewoman and serves as the captain of Marie Antoinette's royal guard. Marie Antoinette is a naive, carefree Austrian princess whose lavish lifestyle, scandals, and detachment from the impoverished lower classes ultimately fuel public outrage and the revolution. Marie Antoinette is an extremely beautiful woman. She had a petite build, blond hair, and large blue eyes. As a royal, she often wore beautiful and expensive dresses and jewelry. Her grace and beauty were so great that she could easily draw attention to herself from others who attempted to outdo her looks or fashion. André Grandier is the devoted childhood friend and eventual husband of Oscar in The Rose of Versailles. He is a kind, passionate, and fiercely loyal commoner who serves as Oscar’s shadow, willing to sacrifice everything to protect her as France hurtles toward the Revolution.
