Oscar François de Jarjeyes

Oscar François de Jarjeyes is one of the main characters from The Rose of Versailles anime and manga.

Oscar is a beautiful noblewoman who was raised as a boy by her father. She is educated in such diverse arts as fencing, horseback riding, and etiquette. Eventually, she commands a company in the Garde du Corps du Roi (the senior Household Cavalry regiment), and later transfers to the French Guards.

Appearance
Oscar is a tall woman with a long, curly blonde hair and has blue eyes.

Personality
Despite being raised as if she were a boy and dressing in males' clothes, Oscar is open about being female. Even as she embraces her femininity, she uses her male position to gain freedoms that she could never have as a lady of the court.

She becomes more socially conscious and empathetic as the series progresses due in part to her friends exposing her to the real world.

She always stays with the boys' side, and when she interacts with girls, it's more like a man talking to a woman rather than two women interacting. Oscar is even drawn with sharper, more mature and manly features than almost all women in the series.

Abilities
Oscar seems to be skilled in sword fighting.

Trivia

 * Originally the protagonist was supposed to be Marie Antoinette, but Oscar's popularity forced the author to give Oscar this role until her death.
 * Word of God stated she's loosely based on Pierre-Augustin Hulin, the historical leader of the people and the French Guards in the storming of the Bastille. In an Historical In-Joke, Hulin serves under her and gets his historical role due Oscar being shot and outranking Alain.
