History:

Jean was born the first daughter to Charles and Joan Fournier, and was raised to be a proper 'Lady' in Relouria. She was taught to speak Relourian, and her accent is still relatively thick. She often struggled with acting how she should. She faced various physical abuses from her Father especially. She preferred to be out and busy than to be stitching or reading, leading to her more adventurous trait.

    After leaving Thales at the age of fourteen, Jean climbed upon a separate boat from her family. She set off, and upon landing she left the port unnoticed. She soon reached a small settlement being built, and stayed there for many years as a cook at an inn. Her life was peaceful, surrounded by a small community of friends that she soon called a family. Upon reaching the age of twenty, Jean had visited the Cloud Temple market where she spotted her brother, Augustus.

    Jean snuck a note to him, rushed back to the village to gather her few yet precious belongings, before heading towards Pobblebonk; the home of the Fourniers.

Arriving unexpectedly, she was greeted with open arms by her siblings, and later that very evening attended the wedding of her youngest, Catherine.

    After a few months, her brother had arranged her courtship to Lord Nicholas Blackwell, a family friend. Still stuck in her childish ways Jean was soon to fall in love with him, idolising him, and considering herself to be happy. It was but a few moons before her wedding that Augustus broke her betrothal, and instead arranged it to Christopher Blackwell, the Lord's brother.
 Heartbroken, Jean and Nicholas had planned to leave their houses and marry, but this was stopped with the death of the Lord. Jean had no choice but to court Christopher.
   As time went on, Jean found herself becoming more and more fond of the boy, who was plenty years younger than herself. He led her to believe he loved her, and Jean was easily fooled. Once again she was besotted with another man. As their wedding day loomed, Jean learnt of Christopher’s own love, Lorina Carrion.
   Jean was left angry, upset and confused. Her betrothal was broken, and she was left to her own accords. She instead rebelled against her brother, causing various kinds of trouble and mischief.
  Her brother quickly agreed to a Courtship between her and Wesley Valentine. The two became quick friends and solid companions to one another, and though Jean was trying to convince herself she held romantic feelings for him, she did not. A second suitor was found: Corbett Van Cleef. A difficult man, known for his relentless murder and banditing, but Jean did not know this.  The pair were cold to one another at first, though soon became fond, and Corbett asked for Jean’s hand. On the day of one of Corbett’s outings, Jean decided to stroll to Petrus, searching for workers for her brother. There she met Lord Briarwood, who tricked her to believe he was looking for work. Upon discovering his true identity, Jean agreed to walk with him to Owynswood and the pair soon became thick friends.
   Content in each other’s company, yet still unmarried, the couple were together for many a year, until Corbett’s untimely death. Gawain was also missing, as were Jean’s two close friends, Waverly and Catherine.  Jean also shared a quick courtship with Guy de Bar, but this was brought to an end by his cruel words and her reckless actions. Never had the woman felt so alone, with the constant threat of being disowned by her brother nagging at her mind, she was left in  a state of depression, and refused to leave the Manor for a year.
   After a year of mourning she resurfaced to find the missing trio had returned. She found Gawain in Petrus, and the pair soon became acquainted once more. After a various amount of time spent in one another’s company, Gawain offered to ask for Jean’s hand from Augustus, and the couple were betrothed. They were married in the chapel at Owynswood, and eight seasons later Jean birthed a baby girl, Eirwyn.
 The small family were given land opposite the Manor on which they built a home, and live there to the present day.
