ABOUT OSCAR ♡
WARNING: SPOILERS!!
oscar was born on december 25th 1755, the youngest of her sisters. she was brought up as a boy by her father so that she could succeed him as commander of the royal guards. despite this, she is open about being a woman and goes by the title of 'lady'. at age fourteen, she is tasked with protecting marie antoinette when she arrives at versailles. over time, oscar comes to discover how much people suffer in poverty in france and how corrupt the court and royal regime is. she transfers to the french guards before renouncing her title altogether and siding with the people in the french revolution. she died during the storming of bastille on the 14th of july 1789, aged 33.
oscar is stoic and serious, but is also kind and loyal to those she cares for. she stands up for what she believes is right, which can cause her to sometimes act impulsively. she is skilled in shooting, swordfighting and horse riding, and also plays piano and violin.
ME AND OSCAR ♡
i had known about the rose of versailles for some time, and almost bought the first volume of the manga when i saw it in a bookstore, but i officially met oscar on the 6th of august 2023 when i began the anime. immediately, i fell in love with her, not just because she's gorgeous (she has the prettiest eyes, the loveliest hair and the sweetest smile, and her voice skfjkjghd) but because she is such an amazing person. i adore how cool and fierce she is and admire her strength, bravery and sense of justice, but i am also enamoured by her sweet, gentle side, the side of her that is more vulnerable. beneath oscar's tough surface is a woman who carries the weight of the expectations placed on her by the society who sees her as a man. she has gone through a lot of hardships and pain, particularly in love. i found myself wanting to give her the love that she deserves, to protect and take care of her as she does for others.
she means so much to me, and i have felt a lot of strong emotions because of her. after ep 28 of the anime, i couldn't help but shake, angered and upset, because she had been hurt. it surprised me, and i knew i was in love with her before, but i think that really showed me just how deep and true my feelings are for her.
oscar has been there to comfort me during some really difficult times. 2023 has been a pretty rough year for me and i've been struggling a lot with my mental health and oscar came to me at a time when i really needed her. an episode of the rose of versailles was 24 minutes away from all the stress and sadness. even at my lowest, seeing oscar and hearing her voice made me smile and gave me butterflies. even though i was weak, oscar's strength gave me the strength to keep going, for her, for myself. although she is fictional and my heart aches to be with her, in a way she is still always with me. je t'aime, mon amour ♡
