* FlowerMotifs: Roses are mostly used to represent a character. For example, Charles-Henri is represented by a white rose, representing innocence and purity. Marie Antoinette is represented by pink roses, symbolizing grace and elegance as a dauphine, then queen. Marie-Joseph is sometimes represented with red roses, and black roses at one point. Red roses symbolize passion and deep emotions, such as Marie's desire to break away from the patriarchal system of France, while black roses symbolize death. The rose that is most commonly used with Marie is the blue rose, which represents mystery, and new opportunities.

One distinguished example is in chapter 63 of Rouge: after Louis XVI is executed, characters start to overlap panels, and by the end of the chapter where people rush to get some of Louis' blood, panels and speech bubbles start to become distorted.
**This trope is also done with more disturbing effects: when the Cardinal de Rohan starts, uh, [[ADateWithRosiePalms fantasizing]] about Antoinette, two pages are "stained".
