* SympatheticAdulterer: As expected by French nobles at the time: they were all in marriages arranged out of convenience, so as long as they had a heir and a spare of unquestioned descendance nobody cared how many lovers they had, with the Duchess of Polignac flat-out admitting one of her lovers is ''her brother in law'' (and her husband ''knows''). In fact Oscar's parents and Louis XVI are seen as ''weird'' for not having lovers, and part of the damage to Marie Antoinette's reputation is that the people don't believe she kept things platonic with Fersen even after having the required heir and spare.

While her active personality does go against societal expectations for a noble lady, by modern standards she's really not very tomboyish at all and would be considered a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak at most, especially given her generally feminine interests.
