The History and Lore of the Item

Oscar François de Jarjayes is the memorable heroine of the masterpiece *The Rose of Versailles* (*Berusaiyu no Bara*), created by the legendary mangaka Riyoko Ikeda. Raised by her father as a man so that she might succeed him as head of the Royal Guard, Oscar navigates the opulent and decadent atmosphere of the court of King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette with unwavering integrity. As the queen’s protector, yet increasingly sensitive to the plight of the French people, she embodies the duality between her military duty, her status as a woman in male disguise, and her keen sense of justice. Her fate is tragically sealed at the dawn of the French Revolution, when she chooses to lead the people during the storming of the Bastille. This sculpture captures the captain in a proud pose, reflecting her indomitable courage and timeless grace.
