Description
Simone Lorène is born in Paris as the illegitimate daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and an opera singer. Unaware of her true parentage, she grows up raised from infancy by florists Paul and Julienne Lorène after Count de Vaudreuil arranges the adoption. Working in her adoptive parents' flower shop fosters her cheerful disposition despite their modest means. Her life shifts when Count de Vaudreuil, recognizing her latent potential, takes an interest and secretly trains her in swordsmanship.
After soldiers under the corrupt police official Jeroule kill her adoptive parents, Simone is formally adopted by Count de Vaudreuil. He enrolls her at the exclusive Panthémont convent school for noble girls to prepare her for high society while continuing her clandestine combat training. Still believing herself an ordinary commoner elevated by circumstance, she remains unaware of her imperial lineage. The Count's subsequent assassination leaves her orphaned again without knowledge of her biological origins, though he reveals on his deathbed she has an older half-sister at Versailles.
Guided by Robert de Vaudreuil, the Count's son and her adoptive brother, Simone embraces a dual identity. By day she maintains her studies and social standing; by night she operates as the masked vigilante "Stella della Senna" (Star of the Seine). Robert, acting as the heroic "Tulipano Nero" (Black Tulip), supplies her costume and weaponry. Adopting a red mask and cloak, she leaves red carnations as her calling card while fighting aristocratic corruption and protecting Parisian commoners. Her vigilantism intertwines with growing revolutionary unrest, fueled by a desire for justice against the nobility she blames for her parents' deaths.
As political tensions escalate, Simone discovers her royal connection through a matching music box owned by Maria Antoinette, confirming she is the queen's illegitimate half-sister and the emperor's daughter, explaining Count de Vaudreuil's protection. This revelation fundamentally shifts her perspective, reconciling her loyalty to the oppressed people with her newfound familial ties to the monarchy. She attempts to protect Maria Antoinette as revolutionary fervor intensifies, though the queen seems detached from the populace's suffering.
Following the royal family's capture during the French Revolution, Simone witnesses the executions of Louis XVI and Maria Antoinette. In their final encounter, Maria Antoinette entrusts her children, Marie Thérèse and Louis-Charles, to Simone's care. For her final mission as the Stelladella Senna, Simone rescues the royal children from revolutionary forces. She then abandons her vigilante identity permanently, fleeing Paris with Robert, the children, and her loyal companion Danton. They establish a new life together outside France, forming a surrogate family away from the revolution's turmoil.
