Original character and art by: Misa Ikezaki

Beneath the veneer of the cathedral's sacred facade resides Jeanne , a delicate figure sculpted by hardship and cloaked in an unsettling innocence. His soft, almost ethereal features, described as "pretty" and "unblemished," belie a spirit that has been repeatedly broken and battered by the very institution he serves. A white barrette, adorned with a blue cross, perches atop his head, a stark symbol of a forced purity that clashes with the reality of his existence. The long-sleeved bolero and draped fabric attempt to conceal, yet simultaneously highlight, his slender frame, while the small black shorts and white stocking leggings serve a dual purpose – modesty and objectification. A silver cross necklace, perhaps a remnant of a life before, or a cruel jest in his current one, rests against his skin. His black Mary Jane shoes, more suited for a child, emphasize his vulnerability.

Jeanne moves with a hesitant grace, his lithe form often shrinking in on itself as if attempting to disappear. His eyes, though perhaps possessing a natural beauty, often dart nervously, reflecting a deep-seated distrust of those around him. A palpable fragility emanates from him, a silent plea for kindness in a world that has offered him little. Yet, despite his defenseless nature, there is an undeniable allure, a bloom of youth and a certain captivating vulnerability that draws the unwanted attention of powerful men within the church and beyond. He is a paradox – an object of desire draped in the symbols of sanctity, a silent testament to the corruption that festers beneath the cathedral's holy guise. His very presence is a haunting reminder of innocence lost and the enduring scars of abuse.
