During her time at university in Dragefjord, she and Aurélia both had issues with discrimination due to their same-sex relationship. However once Jeanne placed a small garden [[Akuanism|Akuan]] shrine arch outside of their spousal accommodations, the discrimination they faced soon stopped. Jeanne has been cited speaking about her and her wife's discrimination as, "Less of someone being outright hateful, but treated us different than the other residents in spousal accommodations. Though once I placed our little shrine arch in the garden, it stopped right away. Then they stopped treating us so weirdly, and started treating us like Akuanists.

Often in guard duty around the hospital or emergency centers during such events, with Jeanne suggesting in a later interview and later confirmed by a SSDF general.
