        Daniel and Norica became close again after Norica’s drastic transformation. The whole company came back from its down fall but they had another problem after Alice’s plan was commenced. She masterminded the scorching of The Lady Rosso and Norica’s house.

I'll burn down the Red Woman to bring back what's mine. I only pray for him to be safe...

        Everything was burned down and nothing was left. In this situation, anyone would break down but Norica showed her skills that are more than the limit. She rebuilt her family’s house and The Lady Rosso building from scratch.

Even The Lady Rosso didn't survive the fire...

        Everything was set for the grand finale but Norica was again slowed down after she got sick and bed ridden. Norica stayed in the hospital for about a month and after this she experienced a lot of changes in her self both inside and out. The girl finally became a woman. She even saw Johann before waking up in the hospital. After this she stood up and begun her long run.

I've never seen anything like this before. It must be a biological transmutation!

        After Norica experienced a Biological Transmutation, Alice confessed her inconsiderable actions against Norica, The Lady Rosso and her family. After forgiveness, Norica and Alice became good partners in the world of fashion. They built a different Icon of fashion.

I'm the mastermind behind your downfall Norica... Please end my shame!

         In the close end of the series, Norica and Mikuru “Miki” Asahina took huge steps in building  the expectations of Norica's parents. Together they built “The Lady Rosso Fashion Stadium” as the center of all fashion and the place were all designers meet. They even restarted the Red Label designs and featured their designs in the final runway.

Mikuru: "Ms. Norica, please don't leave me in the fashion world alone. I still want to learn and work for you"...

        Finally Norica showed all of her fierce designs and proved everyone of her critics wrong. She reached her parent’s expectations and created a legacy among all women. Norica became the new “Lady Rosso”. In the epilogue of the series Johann came back to his family. The von Linnen family was united once again and Norica’s family name was not anymore von Linnen but van Weinberg…

The world of fashion reminds me of childhood memories... That's right, I'm "The Lady Rosso"...

 - Norica pushed through after all the challenges that faced her. Her father returned to her after her suspicions about his plan... Years after, Norica continued her journey in the Fashion World. In her years of living, she created a legacy that will never fade. It just proves that the beauty of a Red Woman will never vanish...

        Alice van Ginossen of “Scarlett Johansson” was the main antagonist in the first episodes of the series. She showed her abilities as a fashion designer after Gino entered The Lady Rosso. She was a huge threat for Norica in terms of sales, Alice’s designs were a lot better than Norica’s.

I'll see who's better for you Gino...

        Because of this, Johann quickly sought a solution for this problem. He formulated his silly plan that would mold Norica to be a better designer and it started after Gino broke up with Alice.

For Norica to improve, she has to first experience the horrors of the fashion world, but I'll still watch over her...

        7:00 pm in The Lady Rosso office building, Norica pushes hard to reach more than enough for her designs. Her parents were feeling bad that night, probably because of Norica. She was advised to come home early; she obeyed her parents but didn’t return.

Tonight, The Lady Rosso shall fall down on her knees...

        The whole power supply of The Lady Rosso was shut down and the whole building was engulfed in darkness, seconds later and terrorists entered The Lady Rosso building and infiltrated it. They held everyone as hostage and demanded for Johann and Seika. Danger spoke for itself.

We demand Johann and Seika as ransom for Ms. Norica

        Johann pursued his action to save The Lady Rosso and everyone in it. He entered the building with all his family S.W.A.T. Without knowing the danger ahead he quickly sought Norica. Johann didn’t know that his death was as fast as his action to seek Norica. The great von Linnen died closely after stopping the incident.

"If I don't return please tell my wife, I love her..."

        The world of fashion was never the same without the Icon of the fashion world. Johann’s death caused a black and white effect for The Lady Rosso. Norica saw the whole incident and even Johann’s death. So she decided to prevent anything like that from happening again, especially for The Lady Rosso.

It goes right through me every time...

        Norica started creating designs that have their own edge. Her childhood abilities were back. However, just a small percent of her total skill compared when she was a child. Her designs were still  lousy and fragile. But she proved everyone wrong.

Who's design is it? I wonder...

        Another of her problems is her sales are going down and down. Daniel 'Dan' Kuso of The Lady Rosso sought solutions for Norica. Soon the company experienced a full 99% sales increase and they maintained it. Daniel was a good match for Norica however; he made a huge mistake for threatening Norica in the Von Linnen Hills. He became very distant and irrational since then.

Increase? Not a problem...

        The board members of the Fashion world were always the problem of every designer especially the Board President Mr. Vorontsov. He was always humiliated by Johann while he was still alive and after his death, Vorontsov threatened Norica and her family in the world of fashion.

I've never seen any business proposal like this, it's disgusting!

- During Norica’s hard burden against Vorontsov, she realized her failures and mistakes. She even experienced her longing for her father. However, because of Gino the girl changed to a woman, not just a woman but a “Red Woman”.

        On February 14, 1990, a prodigy of the fashion world was born. Everyone expects that the child will bring every fashion designer’s dream. But this girl is different; she lives in the expectation of her parents. She lives in the world where her family is known and she has to endure it. The name of the girl was “Maria Norica von Linnen”. Just a girl not yet a woman…

Let it be known on this day, a new Red Woman was born...

        Norica was seen making her beautiful designs in her early childhood, ranging from ball gowns to highly-sown couture outfits. Her parents thought that this is the spark of a new age of fashion. They even thought that Norica would take over their business. However, they were dead wrong. 

Seika: "You know I couldn't bare to see our daughter suffer in the world of fashion..."

        Norica took her chance to lead the new company “The Lady Rosso”, the brand that her parents won in the Fashion Runway competition. Within the company she showed qualities of a professional business woman. Everyone was impressed of her good qualities; they even thought that she could be the answer to the mayhem in the fashion world. But, they were also wrong.

For me to get "Out" on the scene, first I have to get "In" the scene...
( - I love it when Norica poses this kind of face... )

        Though Norica was known to be the daughter of The Genius and The Prodigy, she’s good only at first. Her employees and co-fashion designers were disappointed in her abilities. They thought it was untrue. However, she still has a little edge left in her designs.

No! I can't risk our daughter in it.

        Because of this problem she made a fashion competition that would lure a good fashion designer to be at her side. The winner of this competition will have an opportunity to be the head fashion designer of The Lady Rosso.

Why don't I start a competition to see my designer?

        Saturday morning in The Lady Rosso, everything was quite normal. That day was shopping spree for every designer and customer. Why? It’s because Norica started her competition already. It’s “The Red Label Challenge”. Many were hoping to be chosen but only one will prevail.

I have to at least help my daughter, she has to prevail!

        Gino van Weinberg and Alice van Ginossen were there in the building, shopping and taking their day off. Without noticing, they bought an item with a “Red Label”. This only means that either the two of them can join the competition.

White Pigeons are here as well? How cute!...

        Finally the competition has started, most of the designers were women and some are men. All of the designers were worthy to be the head fashion designer of The Lady Rosso. But among all of them, one designer stood up and spoke: “Are you the Lady Rosso? “

I could learn something from them...

        Gino won the competition without questions. But Gino still wondered: “How can a lousy girl be the daughter of the legendary designers? It’s an insult!” this was a sign that Gino was disappointed that the company boss was not in his category of expectations. He didn’t like her.

I can't believe she will be my boss. This is an insult!...

- A lot of things happened between them like the episode when Gino boycotted the fashion runway after Norica’s invitation. Well let’s just skip in to the good parts shall we?

The Lady Rosso: Concorrenza al relativo Meglio!

The world of fashion is a huge place, a playground for talented people. But what happens when a genius meets a prodigy? Let’s find out!

        8:00 am in the morning when young Johann watches news in the television. He wondered why there are several casualties that’s going on around the place. If you think that’s weird, wait until I told you that all those casualties were rich people… (yeah baby!) His parents asked him about that situation, when someone’s going after him. Johann replied, “I’m just an ordinary kid, why will I be their target? Besides I live in an ordinary family, I’m not rich…” His parents asked him “What If?”. Johann said, “I’ll get to it somehow”. Then he’s gone off to school. To tell you the truth, that was the last time he saw his parents…

  
        Years later, Johann grew up. Going back from school he saw Ms. Carmel packing up his and his parent’s belongings. Johann asked, “What are you doing Ms. Carmel?” He didn’t know that his stuffs are being packed because he’ll be fetched by his “RICH GRAMPS!” Soon he saw his grand father, telling him to be careful from now on because he’s rich. Because when you have all the riches and power, danger will always be there to accompany you. But his grand father’s main task for Johann is to choose between his 2 professions: Music and Fashion.

        Soon Johann decided to take the world of fashion. Later on he met Ms. Seika, (Ms. Hojoin Seika is the owner and head designer of Saint Rose, a very popular brand). At first the two were like cats and dogs, but after several episodes they became very very close (especially when they were on the Casino Cruiser of Mr. Van Argiano (pr.Arzhiano) in the middle of the sea and were caught in danger). In the middle of the end the two joined the world’s “Project Runway” Competition. During the competition they used all Johann’s series of designs called “The Red Woman”.

        If there’s a prime lover, there’s also the hard lover. Johann’s dedicated secretary in the Von Linnen Designs was Hermione de Borromeo. Although her job doesn’t fit her internal personality, she’s one loaded pistol with a very deadly caliver! In the middle of the series she showed deep feelings for Johann, and although she was not chosen in the end, she’s still dedicated to him (wow Lady!).  There were several episodes that showed her past works for Johann and they were great.

 There were also different characters, but the story purely focused on the three.

        3 Episodes Before the end, Johann was separated from Seika because Johann’s grand father gave him his own schedule of Piano Concerto, which in the end Johann didn’t like. Although Hermione was with him during his Piano Concerto Tour he still chose to be with Seika and continue what the’ve won in the Project Runway Competition.

        The Last Episode showed all the beautiful scenes! First off, Johann returned to England to break his grand father’s contract with him. Then later on he visited the country of Flemish to visit the grave of his parents. After that he returned to Japan where Ms. Seika is. After he stepped foot on the ground of the airport, he quickly sought the office building, there he saw the new brand: “The Lady Rosso” (The Red Woman), the new brand that they’ve won. Soon Johann came after Seika, asked her hand and the two were married. Their daughter’s name was Maria Norica von Linnen.

Epilogue:

        Norica continued her parent’s works for fashion. As she was also a prodigy, she designed more for the brand The Lady Rosso. There is also a partner for Norica in the fashion world, however his name was not mentioned. She also has a dedicated secretary but was not mentioned as well. Johann soon found out the culprit who kills rich people, although he wants vengeance, he left him to the authorities of the von Linnen…

The images of Norica don’t seem to match the series, well it’s because the character design is for season 2!
