Roxane is the beautiful, intelligent, and deeply romantic cousin of Cyrano de Bergerac in Cyrano de Bergerac. Although Cyrano secretly loves her, Roxane falls in love with the handsome but inarticulate Christian de Neuvillette. Unaware that Cyrano is writing Christian’s passionate love letters, she believes Christian possesses both beauty and brilliance. Roxane values wit and emotional depth, and through the letters she gradually falls in love with what she thinks is Christian’s soul rather than his appearance. During the war, she bravely travels to the battlefield to see Christian and reveals that the letters made her love him even if he were ugly. After Christian dies, Roxane spends years mourning him in a convent, never knowing Cyrano authored the letters until the end of the play. As Cyrano reads the final letter aloud before dying, Roxane realizes the truth and finally understands that Cyrano had loved her all along.
