# Jeanne de Faucourt — Simon the Coldheart character guide > Jeanne de Faucourt in Simon the Coldheart by Georgette Heyer. **Role:** supporting **Also known as:** Jeanne, Mademoiselle, mademoiselle, Mademoiselle Jeanne, petite Jeanne, miss Mademoiselle Jeanne, little Jeanne **First appearance:** 0016-part-ii-iv-how-he-saw-the-lady-margaret ## Snapshot Margaret's bright-eyed young French companion, who teases Geoffrey about English wooing and sees what no one else will admit about Simon and her mistress. ## Who they are Jeanne rides with Margaret out of beleaguered Belrémy and banters with Geoffrey about being carried to the altar by force, all mock-severity and dimples. Under the flirtation she is startlingly clear-sighted: she insists Simon must love Margaret, because why else would he have killed Raoul, and Geoffrey calls her wits wandering. Her certainty plants the question the reader will spend the middle of the book wanting answered, and her lightness leavens the siege's grimness. ## Relationships ### [Lady Margaret of Belrémy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/lady_margaret_of_belremy) _friendship_ Jeanne is Margaret's close confidante and lady-in-waiting, offering support and companionship. ### [Geoffrey of Malvallet](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/geoffrey_of_malvallet) _romantic_ Geoffrey and Jeanne share a tender romantic relationship, often serving as a parallel to Simon and Margaret's love. ### [Simon the Coldheart](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/simon_the_coldheart) _social_ Jeanne knows Simon through her association with Margaret and maintains a polite, distant acquaintance. ### [Lady Margaret of Belrémy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/lady_margaret_of_belremy) _friendship_ Jeanne is Margaret's close confidante and lady-in-waiting, offering support and companionship. ### [Simon the Coldheart](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/simon_the_coldheart) _social_ Jeanne knows Simon through her association with Margaret and maintains a polite, distant acquaintance. ### [Geoffrey of Malvallet](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/geoffrey_of_malvallet) _romantic_ Geoffrey and Jeanne share a tender romantic relationship, often serving as a parallel to Simon and Margaret's love. ### [Geoffrey of Malvallet](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/geoffrey_of_malvallet) _romantic_ Geoffrey and Jeanne share a tender romantic relationship, often serving as a parallel to Simon and Margaret's love. ### [Lady Margaret of Belrémy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/lady_margaret_of_belremy) _friendship_ Jeanne is Margaret's close confidante and lady-in-waiting, offering support and companionship. ### [Simon the Coldheart](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/characters/simon_the_coldheart) _social_ Jeanne knows Simon through her association with Margaret and maintains a polite, distant acquaintance. ## In the story ### [How the Lady Margaret Could Not Stab Him](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/simon_the_coldheart_se/chapters/part-ii-vi-how-the-lady-margaret-could-not-stab-him) Comforts Margaret and advises submission;
