Suikoden[]
A giant rose that entwined itself around the outer walls of Scarleticia Castle. During the Toran Liberation War, it was cultivated by Milich Oppenheimer, who was controlled by the power of the magician Windy's Black Rune. Despite its splendid appearance, it was a poisonous rose that scattered toxic pollen around.
Antoinette single-handedly defeated the Liberation Army's first assault on Scarleticia castle during the Toran Liberation War in year 456. Knowing that his trick had thus been revealed and that only one person could render the poison useless, Milich decided to avoid taking any risk and lock that person up. He captured Dr. Liukan and placed him in Soniere Prison. However, the Liberation Army succeeded in freeing Liukan from his cell. He joined them and made the antidote that would work against Antoinette's poisonous pollen.
The second assault on Scarleticia Castle saw the victory of the Liberation Army as the poison was neutralized. Antoinette was burnt down.
