Charlène Jolicoeur-Schafenweide

Charlène Jolicoeur-Schafenweide (née Jolicoeur, in Huyenkula, 23.III.1690) is a Hurmu socialite with some Alexandrian extraction, daughter of former Senator Catarina de Todos los Santos u-Kart. On 20.XI.1716, she married Simon Schafenweide, son of the owner of Osthügel Motorenwerke, Ludwig Schafenweide, after a few year's courting in the Nazarene tradition. The two had met at the University of Huyenkula as classmates.

Charlène received a traditional Nazarene upbringing with Hurmu influences. Her father, David Jolicoeur, instilled her with traditional Alexandrian values. The family was shocked in 1696, when it transpired that her mother Catarina had had a relationship before meeting David, with Jaime Augustin Joaquin Primo de Aguilar, which resulted in the birth of a child, Eugenia Aguilar. Catarina and Primo de Aguilar had kept the identity of Eugenia secret to everyone, including those in their respective families. Upon hearing the scandal, David sued for divorce, despite it being against the rules of his religion, he could not look Catarina in the eyes even more. Charlène, a six-year old at the time, along with her elder brothers Marcel and Emmanuel, sided with their father. While Catarina and David had shared custody, in practice, however, the children stayed mostly with their father, who poisoned their minds against their mother.

Charlène found solace in religion, studying Nazarene theology at university, and considering joining a convent as a nun. It was at this time that she met the handsome and somewhat exotic Simon Schafenweide from Sankt Ludwigshafen. He had taken advantage of the privileges afforded the citizens of Sankt Ludwigshafen under Xäiville Convention to study abroad, in Hurmu, and the two fell in love almost immediately.

She was a candidate for Senate in the 1712 Hurmu general elections for the United Ayreonist–Traditionalist List. The List, however, did not get enough votes for her to be elected to Senate.

They were married on 20.XI.1716 in a Nazarene ceremony in Huyenkula. In attendance were most of their families, except Catarina, who was not invited, nor Charlène's half sister Eugenia with family. After the wedding, Charlène added -Schafenweide to her surname, and she vowed to join her husband in moving to Sankt Ludwigshafen once the situation there calmed down.

In 1716 AN a writ of summons was issued against her in Hurmu, after her association with a suspected Siseranist cult in Huyenkula was discovered during raids by the Hurmu Constabulary against that group. Following the fall of Sankt Ludwigshafen Charlène left her husband Simon Schafenweide, and returned to Hurmu, despite the fear that she would be arrested.

Her fears were quickly realised as she was detained upon the very moment of her arrival and delivered to the Southern District for interview by a Magister-Carnifex loaned to the government of Hurmu for the purpose of investigating the Siseran revival.
