As a supporting figure in The Confessions of Arsène Lupin, Jeanne Darcieux is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Target of the murder attempts; discovered to be the stepdaughter of M.
Jeanne belongs to the world of Lupin's smaller, crueler puzzles, where a scarf can be a clue, a threat, or a gift depending on who is holding it. She is young, watched, and vulnerable in a way that makes the reader want to know who is protecting her and who is circling. Her story matters because it shows the burglar's methods at close range: the same ingenuity that humiliates dukes can decide whether a girl is saved or sacrificed.
