Jeanne (A Cat in Paris)

Jeanne is a tritagonist in the French/American 2010 animated film, A Cat in Paris. She is a French police superintendent and the mother of Zoé who had lost her husband when attempting to stop crime lord Victor Costa from stealing the Colossus of Nairobi, a priceless statute.
Jeanne is voiced by Dominique Blanc in the French version and by Marcia Gay Harden in the English version.
==Personality==
Jeanne may seem workaholic due to her job as a police officer, but she does try to take some time off of work so she can spend time with her daughter, Zoé. When Jeanne is not working with the police force, she is a warm, caring mother to Zoé and tries to help her with her grief over her father's death. When Jeanne is working at the police station, she shows an authoritative side where she believes in the law and has a determination to catch criminals. However, between her roles of being a mother and a police officer, Jeanne is a grief-stricken woman who is saddened over the death of her husband where she is bent on to bring her husband's killer to justice though her determination and workaholic ways strain her relationship with Zoé, despite trying to be there for her daughter. Jeanne also is shown to fear Victor Costa, not because of his dangerous reputation, but because he murdered her husband in cold blood.
In addition, Jeanne can be very gullible where she believed Claudine's claims of Nico kidnapping Zoé, due to his status as his thief when really it was Claudine trying to capture Zoé as she was secretly working for Victor Costa. This caused Jeanne to fall for Claudine's manipulations and allow her to kidnap Zoé. When Jeanne realizes Nico was telling the truth about Claudine by returning home to find Zoé's bedroom empty, Jeanne becomes horrified to discover she put her own daughter's life in danger until she's reassured by her fellow officer, Lucas that they would rescue Zoé.
After discovering Zoé to be danger of Victor Costa, Jeanne becomes desperate to save her daughter from the notorious crime lord and when she is strangled by Costa, she overcomes her fears of him and defeats with her fighting skills to save her daughter. Jeanne also is shown to be distrustful towards criminals as shown where she did not believe Nico as the latter explained he was safeguarding Zoé as he was a cat burglar. However, upon realizing Nico was telling the truth, along with witnessing him risk his life to protect her daughter, Jeanne was able to recognize he was a good man despite being criminal and saved him from falling to his death. This caused Jeanne to fall in love with Nico where she let go of her grief over husband's death and started a relationship with Nico, eventually marrying him.
