Fleur Vignes

Mother of Jeanette Vignes. Married to Lucien Vignes, a wealthy merchant who brought her from France to the island of Saint-Domingue, where Jeanette was born.

Fleur is a socialite who never quite acclimated to island living, and desperately clung to her daughter as a lifeline. Stifled by her mother, Jeanette rebelled when she came of age, spending more time with her friends and father, and as little as possible with Fleur.

When Jeanette is carried off by Ignacio Castillo, Fleur is detached and cold. Her daughter left her in spirit a long time ago.
