Josephine Gabrielle Arceneaux was born on 21 October 1839 to Frenchwoman Sophie Desirée Arseneau and Englishman Jonathan Randolph Crane, in the city of Strasbourg, Alsace, France.  It was not uncommon for the French natives of Alsace (or Alsatia, as it is sometimes called) to speak fluent German and such was the case for Josephine's mother.  Josephine's father spoke English and Josephine grew up in a bilingual household on French soil without learning French as a native tongue.

Josephine Gabrielle Arceneaux was born on 21 October 1839 to Frenchwoman Sophie Desirée Arceneaux and Englishman Jonathan Randolph Crane, in the city of Strasbourg, Alsace, France.  It was not uncommon for the French natives of Alsace (or Alsatia, as it is sometimes called) to speak fluent German and such was the case for Josephine's mother.  Josephine's father spoke English and Josephine grew up in a trilingual household on French soil learning French and German, with English as her native tongue. <br><br>
  
−
Josephine's parents were working middle class stock and their home and income, while modest, were still comfortable and more than sufficient to meet their needs. Sophie taught general subjects at the local school and Jonathan taught history as a visiting professor at Strasbourg University.  With two teachers for parents, Josephine grew up with a love of books and learning, developed a keen and inquiring mind, and her parents indulged her in those areas.  She received a fine education from her mother before attending school, learning to read and cipher her sums before enrollment. Sophie took care of her daughter's domestic education as well, teaching her daughter the arts of cooking, cleaning, and sewing. While Josephine never came to love these skills, she nonetheless became proficient in them, being dextrous and clever with her hands.

During her school years in Strasbourg, family discussions at the dinner table would run the gamut from politics to natural history to current events at home and abroad.  The talks would be further augmented during long walks in the evenings and weekends with her father as she followed him on his 'rounds'.  Jonathan liked keeping himself informed of events in his city and surrounding countryside, going out regularly in all seasons and weather.  People quickly became accustomed to seeing the tall aquiline man and his dark-haired daughter conversing with their neighbors or taking in the talk at the local public houses and markets. Under her father's guidance during these walks, Josephine received a different kind of education, the sort one cannot absorb from books, and it would stand her in good stead in later years.
+
=='''Physical Description'''==
−
 
+
In appearance, Josephine is somewhat tall for a woman.  Standing at five feet and nine inches in her stockinged feet, she is considerably leaner than the voluptous figure required of the day.   She is certainly more accustomed to physical action over cultivated weakness and she is tougher than she appears.  Her hair is a dark brown, catching red glints in the sunlight, and her brown eyes are bright and observant.  Her complexion is clear, her features even, and her fair skin is a sturdy type that tans well instead of burning.  Her hair is somewhat shorter than is the norm for a woman of her era and she wears it in a ballerina bun or a simple French twist for everyday wear. For combat,she puts it up in a Dutch braid circling her head.<br><br>  
−
Josephine's mother died of sudden illness in the autumn of 1848. It was the year of revolutions and war and turmoil throughout Europe but it mattered not to Jonathan and his daughter. Heartbroken, Jonathan returned to England after nearly 15 years of living abroad, taking his daughter with him.  He returned to his vacant post in Oxford and continued with his research and his papers and presentations.  Though her father had hired a kind and educated governness for his daughter, these years were lonely ones for Josephine, bereft of her mother and the familiar friends and environs of Strasbourg.  Her long jaunts with her father became infrequent as he buried himself in his work to assuage his grief, but Jonathan found other ways to nurture his ties with his daughter. His presentations had him traveling often, sometimes for several weeks at a time, yet he always cabled Josephine of his activities and progress and always returned with stories and sometimes gifts from abroad. Therefore when he left for a trip to the Continent to attend a conference, she did not think anything would go amiss.
 
−
 
 
−
His cables and letters ceased suddenly that spring of 1854 and when several weeks went by with no news and no one at Oxford able to tell Josephine of her father's whereabouts, she took it upon herself to find him.  She slipped away from her governess in the middle of the night in June and by degrees made her way to his last known location.  Find her father she did, but not in circumstances she'd anticipated and not for long. They parted company on Swiss/Italian border that August, he to parts unknown, she to spend the next 10 years of her life travelling the globe with an acting/acrobatic troupe of his acquaintence.  Josephine saw many lands, met many people, and managed herself through many a scrape and squeaker--to say nothing of learning the lines of all the plays and skits in the troupe's repretoire and such odd skills as needed by supernumeraries of the stage: swordplay, sleight of hand, disguise, costuming, prop and stage mechanics and more.   
 
  
−
It was an odd Bohemian life, filled with both windfalls and hardship, and it bestowed upon Josephine an experience of the world few young women of her class were fortunate to know.  The troupe had long since become her family, a surrogate for her father from whom she received no word since that August morning a decade ago, and when word came for her to return to England post haste in the August of 1867, Josephine was devasted.  But the order came from a source she dared not disobey and return to England she did.  Without preamble, she found herself commanded to attend a dinner party of one Lady Katherine Fleming, and it is then that Josephine's life took yet another unexpected turn ...
+
Her preferred clothing is likewise unconventional, leaning in a decidedly mannish direction of shirtwaists tucked into walking skirts or split riding skirts--even trousers on occasion--and her shoes are either ladies' leather ankle boots or men's town boots. Of corsets she has little use or liking and though she does possess one, her physical habits and figure are such that she can usually dispense with wearing it. Josephine prefers practicality over fashion, comfort over convention whenever possible and though this has led to some raised eyebrows and scandalized sensibilities, she feels the mobility, utility, and self-sufficiency thus gained more than compensates for any misconceptions about her character. Over the months of her nascent career, however, she has come to see conventional clothing as a useful disguise and will certainly use it to her advantage.<br><br>

Background[edit]

Josephine Gabrielle Arceneaux was born on 21 October 1839 to Frenchwoman Sophie Desirée Arceneaux and Englishman Jonathan Randolph Crane, in the city of Strasbourg, Alsace, France. It was not uncommon for the French natives of Alsace (or Alsatia, as it is sometimes called) to speak fluent German and such was the case for Josephine's mother. Josephine's father spoke English and Josephine grew up in a trilingual household on French soil learning French and German, with English as her native tongue.

(To learn more about Josephine's formative years, do go here.)

Physical Description[edit]

In appearance, Josephine is somewhat tall for a woman. Standing at five feet and nine inches in her stockinged feet, she is considerably leaner than the voluptous figure required of the day. She is certainly more accustomed to physical action over cultivated weakness and she is tougher than she appears. Her hair is a dark brown, catching red glints in the sunlight, and her brown eyes are bright and observant. Her complexion is clear, her features even, and her fair skin is a sturdy type that tans well instead of burning. Her hair is somewhat shorter than is the norm for a woman of her era and she wears it in a ballerina bun or a simple French twist for everyday wear. For combat,she puts it up in a Dutch braid circling her head.

Her preferred clothing is likewise unconventional, leaning in a decidedly mannish direction of shirtwaists tucked into walking skirts or split riding skirts--even trousers on occasion--and her shoes are either ladies' leather ankle boots or men's town boots. Of corsets she has little use or liking and though she does possess one, her physical habits and figure are such that she can usually dispense with wearing it. Josephine prefers practicality over fashion, comfort over convention whenever possible and though this has led to some raised eyebrows and scandalized sensibilities, she feels the mobility, utility, and self-sufficiency thus gained more than compensates for any misconceptions about her character. Over the months of her nascent career, however, she has come to see conventional clothing as a useful disguise and will certainly use it to her advantage.

Psychological Profile[edit]

Possessed of imagination and a keen curiosity for the world around her, Josephine channels her mental energy into observation and problem solving. She was raised by scholar parents who nurtured and indulged her native intelligence and if there is one area in which Josephine is prone to the sin of pride, it is her intellect. She relies on it heavily to guide her through the vagaries of life such as befall an unaccompanied woman in this society and so far, it has served her well. As such, she is more apt to do for herself than rely on others for their assistance, looking askance at such dependency as weakness and a failing of character. She is indefagitable, creative, a maverick and a survivor, and though the odds are stacked against a woman in a man's world, she is supremely confident in her ability to win through in her endeavors.

Shadow Game, a personal memoir[edit]

Excerpts from her memoir, written haphazardly as circumstances permit. Read them here.

Allies & Adversaries[edit]

An ongoing record of the people Josephine encounters in her adventures, clanestine or otherwise.

Steamer Trunk[edit]

It's a battered thing, having been knocked around the globe for years, salvaged from a Parisian alley over a decade ago during a quick layover between jobs. The contents vary with Josephine's fortunes but when fully stocked, it's got everything she needs. Go here for the trunk inventory.
