History Characters / AnnoDracula

Beauregard's ambitious socialite fiance. Appears in Anno Dracula, Dracula Cha Cha Cha, Johnny Alucard and Seven Days Of Mayhem. She is an original character to the series.

* SocialClimber: In the first book, she's fixed on the idea of being turned for social advancement despite her husband's obvious discomfort with the idea.

* NoPronunciationGuide: In and out of universe. Kim Newman has had to write at least one guide to saying her full name correctly, explaining that the accent grave changes Geneviève to the French pronunciation of [[https://forvo.com/word/genevi%C3%A8ve/ June-vee-ev]][[note]]The link is clearer on that.[[/note]] as opposed to the English Jen-eh-veev and that the last e in Dieudonné is said as a hard a. In universe, if you didn't know the difference, only recent stories hint that her name is said differently through such examples as her ghosting a guy after a first date because he kept saying her name wrong and a character calling her June and her narration remarking how satisfying it was to get that as her shortened name for once instead of "Jen".

* ArbitrarySkepticism: In ''Johnny Alucard'', she mentions she's not sure she believes in magic and was skeptical of the spell of the 13 movies to resurrect Dracula. She still goes about preventing the Orson Welle movie just in case. In ''One Thousand Monsters'', it's mentioned again she's not sure she believes in magic even when she's watching the human Lord Majin using sorcery.

* WealthyPhilanthropist: What he poses as. Nobody realizes that all the public events he hosts and films he sponsors are [[spoilers: rituals to bring Dracula back to life]].

* AdaptationalJerkass: Much colder and more emotionally stunted than his real-life contemporaries described him [[note]] (Newman usually does his research, so he's probably hinting it's a result of vampirization [[/note]]

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: At the climax of ''Anno Dracula'', he has the chance to stop [[spoiler:Beauregard and Geneviève]] from [[escaping the palace after defeating Dracula and killing his minions.]] Even though he would probably be more than a match for them in their current state, he lets them pass, happy to carve out a place for himself [[spoiler:in the recent power vacuum.]]

* ArbritrarySkepticism: In ''Johnny Alucard'', she mentions she's not sure she believes in magic and was skeptical of the spell of the 13 movies to resurrect Dracula. She still goes about preventing the Orson Welle movie just in case. In ''One Thousand Monsters'', it's mentioned again she's not sure she believes in magic even when she's watching the human Lord Majin using sorcery.
