Biography
Early life
At some point in the early part of her life, Jeanne was taken as a slave from her homeland on the West Coast of Africa and transported to Saint-Domingue, a colony situated on the island of Hispaniola.
Shortly after her arrival in Colonial America, she was purchased by Philippe Olivier de Grandpré, a wealthy French merchant, and taken as a placée bride. Eventually however, Jeanne and Philippe grew to be rather intimate, which resulted in the conception of a daughter, Aveline de Grandpré, who would later go on to become an Assassin.
Chichen Itza
Some time would pass after her disappearance before Aveline ascertained her location to Chichen Itza, wherein Jeanne resided in a freed slaves' settlement nearby a Mayan temple. 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 due a past discovery.
She would come across her daughter again when Aveline returned to retrieve the second part of a First Civilization artifact. 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.
Following this, Jeanne remained in Chichen Itza, as she felt that New Orleans would never be safe for her, and that the community in which she resided needed her more.
Trivia
