Jean Moreau

Jean, who grew up in bustling Marseille, found himself in Evermore, a quiet town where his life changed dramatically. His parents, embroiled in debt, sold him to Tetsuji to pay it off. In turn, Tetsuji used the money from Jean's sale to pay off Kengo, thus closing the financial hole. In Evermore, Jean found shelter and support from Riko, who became his guardian. Rico treated Jean as property, not as a human being with his own rights.Also on Rico's orders, he was raped by the other Ravens five times. The sixth time, Rico didn't give the order because Jean didn't protest the fifth time and it no longer seemed amusing to him.Rico treated Jean as property, not as a human being with his own rights.Also on Rico's orders, he was raped by the other Ravens five times.

When Jean arrives in California, he is in a daze. He is perplexed by his apparent freedom from Rico and unconsciously waits for the moment when it turns out to be a joke.But he is surrounded by a team that is both willing to embrace his pain and rage and unwilling to tolerate the Ravens' strategies and attitudes on their turf. They help him adjust to his new life and especially their very different style of coaching with patience and understanding.One of the hardest things for Jean is the fact that the Trojans are allowed to practice outside of exi without talking to each other, while the Ravens were forced to do everything in pairs. By the time he goes to California, he's been out of the Ravens' environment for a couple months, but he spends that time hiding in a bedroom at Abby's house. Being able to go to class, the grocery store or the gym without his teammates present is unfathomable to him.The further they get away from Rico's death, the longer Jean is surrounded by the laid-back attitude of the Trojans. The more Jean interacts with Renee and his new psychologist, the easier it becomes for him. In his fifth year, Jean is more at ease than he was in his fourth year.He is still not normal when he graduates, but he is much better, and at least he knows that maybe one day he can be normal.
