    h3. Description of Aspects

High Concept: Bojangle and manager of Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar

When Jeanie started working at the Palace Cafe, as a bartender, she soon found out that she was not only a natural at barkeeping and the counseling abilities behind that, but could also manage the bar’s money and the aggressions of drunk and angry customers. She wasn’t the only one noticing these surprising talents, her manager, Dylan Flynn was also noticing and thinking she would be a valuable asset to the Bojangles. He notified his partner, Charlie Bard of her and after his meeting she was soon recruited. Later started working at Lefit’s Bar and was handed over management of the bar when the owner needed to move out. Lives upstairs from the bar.

Retired aspects

  • A I don’t find trouble, trouble finds me
    As long as Jeanie could remember, as she moved around with her mom ’s many jobs, as she went to new schools, the kids who came to her were always troubled and brought that trouble with them. She herself was studious and sober but she cared about her friends and could always be counted on for back-up, or help wherever needed. She got into a lot of fights and was seen as a little bit of a trouble maker by her teachers and even parents but it was always because she was helping out a friend. She is still this way and is often helping to support the underdog that often frequent her bar and apartment.
Bio:

Jeanie was born in Galveston, Texas, to a single mother. Her father left her and her mother before she was born so it was just the two of them her whole youth. She grew up in a number of places throughout the Texas and Louisiana area where her Mom’s family lived. They moved around a lot to follow her mom’s many jobs.

Jeanie was a good student and well behaved but she always seemed to attract the wrong crowd. This in part was a result of always moving and having to make friends with the outcasts. Because of this, trouble often found her even if she wasn’t particularly looking for it. Her friends knew that she would always be loyal and protective of them and she often made enemies and got in trouble in her schools. She never started any fights, however, she only stuck up for the underdog. She was known to steal the money back from bullies who “robbed” her friends.

When she was 14 her mother (and an uncle) signed Jeanie up for a Summer “High adventure” sea experience made for troubled kids. While out to sea they hit troubled waters (both in and outside of the boat). Jeanie showed remarkable leadership skills and an unnaturally high aptitude for seafaring. She saved the ship for certain tragedy because of her quick thinking and ability to command. Considering she a had never before stepped foot on a boat this was a shock to her and her adult leaders. She continued to love the sea and went back to the sea adventure every summer.

When she graduated from high school and left her mom to be on her own, she was told by a friend about an open position at the Palace Cafe in New Orleans. She moved in with her friend in the French quarter and began working there as a waitress and then later as a bartender with Dylan Flynn. Unbeknownst to her Dylan is a high-ranking member of Bojangles. While working here she managed to show some of her aptitudes for fighting, money management, and leadership. Dylan brought her to the attention of Charlie Bard and Jeanie was soon recruited into the Bojangles.

After 2 years at the Palace Cafe, she was hired on by Content Not Found: rikkard-baldurson to work as a bartender and bookkeeper at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar. She protects the streets of New Orleans as a Bojangle and Irregular

After inheriting the Pride and part of the Grand Tiere island, she has spent more time on her boat, at her Island retreat for Bojangles and with her tavern’s bouncer, Alex Keene
