Vae Victis

is the Noble Phantasm of Marie Antoinette Alter.
Blessed by Marie Antoinette Alter, a black lily blooms. The lily releases a powerful curse, instantly weakening and killing things within its range, and causing inanimate objects to self-destruct. It is an inversion of the emblem of the French royal family (Fleur de Lis), a curse born from the power of royalty, darkness without light, and a final death cry.
The true name "Vae Victis" was originally uttered by Brennus, king of Gaul, in the 4th century BC. It originally represented contempt for Rome, who had lost that conflict. By shouting "Woe to the vanquished", Marie prophesizes tomorrow's defeat, and the downfall of all those with pride.
...It is said, now, that the Fleur de Lis is a stylized iris, rather than a lily. However, in the past, the French royal family associated the Fleur de Lis with the lily of the Virgin Mary, and respected it as a symbol of faith and as the lily of the royal family. To them, and those who loved them, it must certainly have been a beautiful "lily".
