Jeannine was born in Normandy in 1911, daughter of Jacques Toutain, owner of a small tobacco shop. She was (and is) a brilliant self-taught mathematician, whose father thought she would make an excellent bookkeeper. Jeannine had higher ambitions (her role model was Madame Curie) and ran away to Paris at 18, only to find that life was harder than she had expected. She went to work as a nude photo model - a far rougher career in the late 1920s than it is today. So it was an excellent piece of luck that she found herself in friendly Chronophontia - she could still pose nude (which she actually enjoyed doing) without the hassles entailed by that business in the old days.
She ended up in our time via time warp.

She appears in Part II
