Jeane Cairy

"I joined Precinct Security to protect innocent lives. When I saw that we weren't doing that at all, I risked everything to leave it all behind and join the Hunt. Looks like I made the right choice."

- Jeane to Mollaig.

Jeane Cairy is a character in Sanguine Melancholia. She was a member of Precinct Security, but she began to question what she was trying to protect after the Council was compromised. Eventually, she abandoned her duties and became a deserter.

In-Game
Jeane is a determined woman shown to have a high level of physical strength. Despite her decision to discard her Precinct Security position, she retains a certain loyal attitude around those she considers to be "above" her in some way, most notably Graham Welles. However, she also has a lighthearted side to her, seen most often when she jokes around with Crosby.

She is briefly fought as an enemy in-game, during Chapter Two. After the fight is stopped by both parties realizing they were on the same side, she joins Adrien (and eventually, Maelstrom.)

Throughout the game, Maelstrom has multiple encounters with Price, all of which are due to Jeane's presence in the party.

She succesfully escapes Abilsin's cathedral at the end of the game, and is still alive.

Valerie Morris
Jeane and Valerie are heavily implied to be romantically involved with one another. Jeane affectionately refers to the other as "Val."

When the Hunters of the Maelstrom first met Valerie, Jeane became flustered right away and sought to ask the girl on a date, but Crosby unintentionally kept her from doing so. She later stops Valerie in the forest to express her gratitude for the girl's decision to join Maelstrom, only for this meeting to be cut somewhat short by Locke checking on the two, and relaying that Crosby was spreading rumours about the duo.

During the battle with Mollaig, Valerie singles out Jeane when talking about the humans she's come to love, and promises not to abandon her.

Crosby
"'You might've just saved my life, Crosby. You're a good friend.'""— Jeane to Crosby."Crosby is known to flirt with Jeane often, usually referring to her as Violet due to the colour of her hair, though it's unknown whether this is due to his poor programming or not. Jeane is initially irritated by Crosby, often threatening to damage or destroy him when he pokes fun or makes threats at other members of the team. The two slowly warm up to each other, which leads to Crosby risking his life by rushing Price during his last stand, being shot four times in the process. This marks his first selfless act that defies his own programming, and proves that he is capable of change after all. Jeane warmly smiles at Crosby after this, saying that he "might've just saved [her] life" and calling him "a good friend." Crosby decides that he'll accept her friendship, straying even further from his programming.

Price
Upon first meeting her, Price treated Jeane with kindness in hopes of making a friend. Jeane harshly rejected his kindness at every turn, but he never stopped trying to befriend her. Eventually it had an effect, as Jeane began to feel happy to hear from Price, and would treat him with kindness, gradually becoming friendlier by the day.

Their relationship fell apart when Jeane accidentally shot Price's friend Alicia during a mission. Price accused her of doing it intentionally to stop him from trying to "change" her, and decided that he would respond by becoming the cold person he once thought Jeane to be.

Despite everything the two went through, and all of Price's attempts to kill Jeane and avenge his fallen friend, Jeane's guilt over the situation was so immense that she subconsciously held back during their encounter at Twilight Gorge. This led to Price being one of the two survivors of Bowman's troop and later going to serve under Kenzo Edmond.

Later, when the Hunters are confronted by Edmond, Price's shock and anger at seeing Jeane again lead him to fire his gun at the girl. He fails to hit her, but his shot causes the other soldiers to start shooting, leading to the Battle of Candlelight Pass. He escapes during the chaos, fleeing up to Candlelight Tor where he has his last stand against the Hunters. After being defeated for a final time, Sixteen slits his throat and Jeane watches him bleed out, past the point of feeling remorse for the pitiful man.

Charlotte
Jeane considers Charlotte a friend, and the latter seems to admire Jeane a lot. Charlotte reluctantly decides not to join up with Jeane on the day she deserted, but is grateful to see her again when they reunite during the group's first meeting with Ashburne.

Kenzo Edmond
Despite her thoughts on the Precinct Security forces as a whole, she has a lot of respect for Edmond and considers him to be a good man. Halfway through the fight with the Supreme Commander, Edmond admits that he wanted to join Jeane on the day she deserted, but lacked the courage to abandon his position.

Jeane is greatly distraught by Edmond's attempted suicide following the battle, believing him to be dead.

Trivia

 * Jeane is the first in a series of antagonistic characters who join the party after being fought (the other two being Crosby and later Iago.) Of all of these characters, she is the only one to not truly be antagonistic when she is challenged, as the fight occurs due to a misunderstanding.
 * She is also the only one out of the three characters to not be a boss encounter.
