== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Jeanette was born as a princess into tumultuous times in the demon lands, which had been overrun by the Graff Empire, leading to widespread genocide. She witnessed her friends getting murdered. From an early age, her upbringing was marked by a deep-seated hatred for humans due to the atrocities she witnessed during the invasion.
Jeanette was the heiress of the Charlmann State, which by that point had lost most of its territories to humans. As a royal and a prodigy, Jeanette's personality initially veered toward narcissism and arrogance. On her first day as empress, she executed over 40 officials she believed to be corrupt or traitorous. Her unwavering belief in the inferiority of humans made her see them as traitorous and unworthy of mercy. Her conviction and determination, however, would later transform her into a strong, capable leader.
=== Leadership ===
Jeanette's transformation came with age and experience. Over time, her self-centeredness gave way to a genuine care for her people and an understanding that not all humans were malevolent. This evolution in her personality marked her as a complex and multidimensional person, known for her intelligence, determination, and, to a lesser extent, her narcissism and short temper. She learned to reserve her sadism only for her enemies and show her just side to her friends and people.
=== Great Liberation War ===
She took it upon herself to lead the resistance against human occupation, which she named the Great Liberation War. With her formidable army, she began to rapidly push back the Graff Empire's forces, liberating demon lands and reclaiming the former territories of the Charlmann Empire. Jeanette's charisma and strategic brilliance allowed her to form alliances with humans who who opposed the Graff, including the Nordern Jarls and tribes and the Zaqumi clan (which later founded the Zaqqumid Sultanate).
After a long and arduous struggle, Jeanette and her forces emerged victorious. With the Graff Empire in retreat and weakened, she re-established the Charlmann Empire and was elected as its Empress. Under her leadership, the demon lands experienced a resurgence of power and prosperity, leading to an era of relative peace and stability.
As Empress, Jeanette worked to rebuild diplomatic ties with select human nations who were sympathetic to her cause, fostering a new era of cooperation and coexistence between demons and humans.
=== Anti-Unionist War ===
Empress Jeanette played a pivotal role in the Anti-Unionist War, emerging as a beacon of hope and a central figure in the coalition's efforts to liberate the citizens of the Unionist State from the oppressive regime of Big Comrade. Her leadership, strategic acumen, and unwavering commitment to justice were instrumental in the coalition's ultimate victory. 
As the war neared its conclusion, Big Comrade, realizing that his defeat was imminent, attempted to execute a desperate, cataclysmic plan. He aimed to launch weapons of mass destruction at cities across the world, effectively "taking everyone down with him" in an act of sheer devastation. Empress Jeanette proved to be instrumental in preventing Big Comrade's catastrophic plan. She and her allies acted swiftly to intercept and thwart the impending launch of these weapons. Their resolute efforts averted a global catastrophe and saved countless lives.
