'''Jeanne''' (1725 - unknown) was the wife of a wealthy French merchant, [[Philippe Olivier de Grandpré]] and the mother of  the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Aveline de Grandpré]]. At the age of five, she was taken as a slave and sent to [[United States|America]], eventually being sold to Philippe as his ''{{Wiki|Plaçage|placée}}'' bride.


In 1757, Jeanne was transported by the [[Templars]] to a slave worksite in Mexico to excavate Mayan ruins that were believed to hold an artifact from the time of the [[First Civilization]].
==Biography==
===Early life===
When she was five years old, Jeanne was taken as a slave from her homeland on the West Coast of {{Wiki|Africa}} and transported to {{Wiki|Saint-Domingue}}, a colony situated on the island of {{Wiki|Hispaniola}}.
Upon arriving there, she met [[Agaté]], [[Baptiste]] and [[François Mackandal]]. The latter was kind to Jeanne and taught her to read and write, although she grew frightened of his violent ways. Unknown to everyone, Jeanne stole an object from Mackandal - a fragment of a First Civilization artifact she called the Heart. When Agaté and Baptiste later joined the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]], Jeanne refused to join them. After Agaté, Baptiste and Mackandal left in 1738, they cut all ties with Jeanne.
===New Orleans===
In 1744, Jeanne was purchased by Philippe Olivier de Grandpre, who took her as his ''placée'' bride and brought her to [[New Orleans]]. Philippe treated Jeanne with kindness and affection, which eventually led to the two becoming rather intimate. This resulted in the conception of a daughter in 1747, Aveline de Grandpré, who would later go on to become an Assassin. Upon Aveline's birth, Jeanne and her daughter were granted freedom by Philippe.
In 1752, Philippe married [[Madeleine de L'Isle]], who became Aveline's stepmother. However, Jeanne and her daughter were allowed to stay at the de Grandpré's mansion.
In 1757, Jeanne grew worried that the Assassins would travel to New Orleans to seek out the Heart, the artifact she had stolen from Mackandal. To escape her fears, she accepted Madeleine's offer to be transported south to Mexico. Jeanne did not mention this to Aveline or anyone else, leaving her daughter in the care of her stepmother Madeleine. It was later revealed that Jeanne had given the Heart to Aveline, hidden inside a handcrafted locket. Following this, Jeanne mysteriously disappeared after Aveline had let go of her hand to catch an escaped chicken whilst the two were traveling through the city.
===Chichen Itza===
Many years later, Aveline ascertained her mother's location to [[Chichen Itza]], where Jeanne resided in a freed slaves' settlement near the Mayan temple of {{Wiki|Kukulkan}}. Aveline came across Jeanne after she had escaped through mines that led to a chamber constructed by the First Civilization, where a fragment of an artifact known as the [[Prophecy Disk]] was housed, which she had acquired before meeting Jeanne.
On witnessing Aveline, and the [[Hidden Blade]] she possessed, Jeanne refused to disclose any information to her daughter; she recognized it to be a symbol of the Assassins, which she had cut all ties to. She feared that Agaté had sent Aveline to kill her and fled, though not before warning her that the Prophecy Disk should never reach Agaté
Jeanne encountered her daughter again when Aveline returned to Chichen Itza to retrieve the second half of the Prophecy Disk. There, Jeanne did not run from Aveline, having accepted her daughter for who she was as opposed to her allegiances, and made mention of a canoe that Aveline could use to help her find what she sought.
After she returned, Aveline offered to take Jeanne back to New Orleans, however, Jeanne refused as she felt that the city would never be safe for her, and that the community in which she resided needed her more.
==Trivia==
*Before giving it to her daughter as a necklace, Jeanne was in possession of an amulet belonging to the First Civilization, which had the ability to open the entrance to the [[Grand Temple]], along with the use of an [[Apples of Eden|Apple]]. It was strikingly similar, if not identical in appearance, to the amulet that the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] took from the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Charles Lee]].
*Three men were known to have had romantic feelings for Jeanne: her husband and father of Aveline, Philippe, the Assassin and later [[Mentor]] of the [[French Colonial Assassins|French Colonial Brotherhood]], Agaté, and François Mackandal, the Mentor of the Caribbean Colonial Brotherhood and Agaté's former tutor and friend.
*Jeanne kept two [[Jeanne's diary pages|diaries]] throughout her life, in which she chronicled her thoughts, that were later collected and compiled together by Aveline.
