| Jeanne D'Amour Jeanne moments before firing the man responsible for drawing this picture due to his snide remaks about her glasses Basic InformationName: Jeanne Full Name: Jeanne Louise Michaela D'Amour, Baroness of Therry. Age: A lady never says ((20)). Birthplace: Therry, a small village founded by the D'Amour family about a hundred years ago merely so their offspring would gain baronship. Close to former Occitan borders. Hair Color: Bright copper. Eye Color: Blue. Height: 5'7'' Weight: 123 lbs Deity: Tyr Alignment: Lawful Good Personality- Spoiler:
One word certainly describes her: fierce. Jeanne, despite her young age and small size manages to appear imposing due to her courageous, well read and remarkably intelligent self. She's very organized and methodical, preferring routines over improvisation but manages to excel at both due to her quick wits. Her tone of voice is notably snarky, she's quick to emit judgement and became quite accustomed to the quick fire talking of the courts of law she attends to. As a public orator she's notable for her bouts of grandiose statements, but can be quite level headed if the situation so requires.
Jeanne as an individual manages to be fiercely independent. Despite having her life essentially arranged she still strives for a good career, as she doesn't like knowing she is living to the mercy of someone else. This makes her a natural leader, having capabilities for successfully foreseeing what is a good decision and what is not, giving her a sharp eye for business and making her an excellent haggler, an ability she rarely has to demonstrate but comes to good use when facing greedy men; which seems to have become a trend in courts. Contrary of this though, she's notoriously altruistic, participating in charities, and helping those in need pro bono, a luxury she is able to afford. She definitely believes that improving her environment means improving herself.
Despite all this, she does have flaws. She is prone to bouts of fiery rage when greatly offended or when facing those she considers to be of a villainous nature. She has absolutely no mercy for murderers and finds it a heinous crime no matter the motive. She is not a sore loser, but will not stop until she finds whoever she considers an enemy defeated, a matter of honor she claims. She has an intense dislike for firearms, which brought so much pain to her life, and is in many ways a pacifist, preferring to destroy her enemies in a court of law than in the battlefield. Her frail body is heavily contrasted by her otherwise strong words. Appearance- Spoiler:
She's of short stature and build. Her hair naturally curly, it turns into slightly messy, puffy, copper red locks that drop down her face. Her big horn rimmed glasses, with a quite severe correction for astigmatism, make her already big and catlike blue eyes look even bigger. Her nose is small and pointy, eyebrows carefully plucked in order to appear smaller, and her chin is round yet well balanced, complementing her feminine features. Her lips are of a rosy complexion, and albeit her mouth not being very wide her lips are quite full.
Her body is best described as 'petite', which however fits her small frame. She is quite different from the "whole load of woman" archetypes most of her family used to be, instead having much more discrete features. Her also comparatively small weight makes her look frail but greatly accentuates her hips. She often wears the most fashionable of dresses, not as a way to flaunt her wealth but more as to extrude her personality, and make her contrast as a person. There is a single item which she always wears, her mother's wedding ring, which she carries as a symbol of respect to her deceased mother, and also to deter young bachelors eager for marriage. Backstory- Spoiler:
She's the daughter of a rich businessman, and a noblewoman. The noblewoman being a long descendant of Ariel Aoki, and coming from a family who has had blonde, blue eyed girls as offspring through all their generations. Her father being a man who comes from a very poor background but managed to acclaim a great deal of wealth by successfully entering the arms trade and manufacturing business. Born in Thierry, a village long owned by her wealthy family, Jeanne herself was mostly shunned by the rest of her family, except her mother, father and sister, due to her being entirely different to the norm, being a redhead, skinny and with chronic astigmatism, requiring correctional glasses. In a bout of irony her younger sister was born as a blue eyed blonde girl and therefore became her grandmother and grandfather's favorite, despite her sister having a great respect for Jeanne and her sister never seeking for said favoritism.
Jeanne's life was arranged to be like that most of her ancestors (from her mother's side) had lived, in essence, marrying a rich man and living off his expense, something which she somewhat eagerly awaited, as the young Jeanne was seeking for some excitement in her otherwise dull life of indulging in pastimes intended for the wealthy. Her life tragically changed when a stray bullet, aimed at her father, struck her mother, and her 3 year old sister, killing her mother and leaving her sister without the use of her legs. Her father, being on the arms trade business, felt so guilty, he took the blame for creating the very weapon that murdered his own wife. He sold everything, sold every store, every inch of land, every gunsmith, every factory, and dedicated his life to the care of her two daughters. Jeanne herself thought of her mother's murder as a wake up call, as the need to strive for greatness and bring justice to every living being, as she had discovered in the hardest way that life is efimerous, and easy to take away.
At the early age of 12 she began memorizing every book of law she could find, reading on legal documents to and fro, acquiring a surprisingly vast knowledge of law and the judiciary system in a very short amount of time. By age 14 she was enrolled in the Imperial School of Law, graduating with honors at age 18. She successfully sued a weapons manufactoring giant over the near lethal injuries caused by misuse of one of their firearms, and got engaged in several high profile cases related to firearm legislation, spending most of the wealth ammassed in legal fees in charity work, assisted by her sister. Over the loss of one of her most recent cases against firearm companies, finding a need to search for her roots, what made her so fierce as an attorney on the first place, so she came across an ancient property deed owned by her family, of the tavern in Surna, where she now resides, and owns.
Special AbilitiesNone, other than her wealth and ownership of the original deed to the Tavern, therefore being it's legal owner. Her intelligence is that of any well educated adult, and her strength is sub-par. | |
