The change in the color scheme of her clothes, from black, purple and scarlet early on to lighter colors later, culminating in her all-white outfit, helps indicate her change in alignment.

* HoYay: In the ball scene, Flavia thinks she's being invited to dance by General Pecheur and holds out her white-gloved hand with an inviting smile...only to find Pecheur reaching over her to take Sergeant Markov's hand and lead him out onto the dance floor. She's left standing there looking tolerably nonplussed.
