Origin[]

Sophie and Hans Scholl were members of the White Rose, an anti-Nazi group of college students who distributed anti-Nazi fliers. On February 18, 1943, Sophie and Hans filled a suitcase with fliers and left piles of them on the floor outside the classroom doors at their university.

They were seen by the janitor, whom reported them to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret state police. Even to their deaths by guillotine they remained obstinate and brave. Sophie was twenty-two when she died, Hans was twenty-five.

Usage[]

When it senses an innocent in need, the suitcase will expel dozens of White Rose fliers. The paper forms itself into many different types of construct. The fliers may form a flurry of paper as sharp as razor blades, or become a paper cocoon as dense as concrete, depending on the survival needs of the user.

Collection[]

Agent Jinks and Donovan collected this artifact after they saw it defend a gay rights protester from being attacked in Russia. The suitcase dispensed a long stream of flyers, wrapping themselves around the attacker and binding him.
