Description
Nadine Lorraine, born Simone Rolland, was the biological daughter of Franz I, Duke of Lotringen, and an opera singer, making her the illegitimate half-sister of Queen Marie Antoinette. To conceal her royal lineage, she was entrusted to commoner florists Paul and Lillian Rolland, who raised her in rural Île de la Cité, Paris. They provided a loving upbringing despite financial struggles under Louis XVI's oppressive aristocracy.
After witnessing her best friend Milan's arrest for protesting aristocratic injustices, Simone sought help from Duke de Forges. Shortly after, agents of Madame Catherine murdered her adoptive parents on behalf of the aristocracy. With his dying breath, Paul Rolland revealed Simone's adoption. The Duke de Forges adopted her, integrating her into noble society alongside his son Robert. She received fencing lessons from the Duke and attended an elite convent school, where exposure to injustices against commoners deepened her resentment towards the aristocracy, especially Marie Antoinette.
Driven by vengeance for her parents and a commitment to aid the oppressed, Simone became the masked vigilante "La Seine no Hoshi" (Star of the Seine). She wielded a basket-hilted cavalry sword—distinct from noble rapiers—and left red carnations as her mark. Her attire featured a red domino mask, a blue cap with a white star, and a red-lined cape. She operated at night, executing heists against corrupt nobles and protecting civilians from abuses, like those of Captain Jerouls. Her companions included an owl named Corot and a white stallion gifted by Robert.
Her vigilante activities brought her together with Armand, son of a count and the "Black Tulip." They aided Milan's escape to America after his revolutionary activities made him a fugitive. Milan harbored unrequited feelings for Simone, while she developed a romantic bond with Robert. Discovering her true parentage created profound conflict as she grappled with her hatred for the aristocracy alongside her blood ties to Marie Antoinette. This revelation compelled her to intervene in the French Revolution, attempting to prevent the royal family's execution. Ultimately, she protected Marie Antoinette's children, later marrying Robert and becoming their stepmother.
Throughout her journey, Nadine evolved from an apolitical flower girl to a symbol of resistance against tyranny. Her legacy blended her commoner upbringing with her latent royal identity, culminating in efforts to reconcile social divides during the revolution.
