Editing Citrine (section)

==History==
===Background===
Despite being from a privileged family, she had grown up violent and 'uncivilized'. During her last year in a juvenile detention center, before her transfer to an adult’s prison, she received an offer that she could not afford to refuse.<ref name="II5.x ePrison">“Because, Jean Brown, I understand the desire to rise up and desperately make sense of a world that seems so senseless.  I read every file that can be found about you, and I don’t believe you ever had a chance to be civilized. [...] I know who your stepfather is, I know who your teachers have been.  Your judge remarked on your privileged background, but you were the last file he looked at after an overworked day.  He hadn’t had a vacation in five years and his retirement was imminent.  He was lazy and he didn’t see you.”<br/>[...]<br/>“This will be far more difficult than juvenile prison, and even more difficult than being a newly minted eighteen years old in an adult’s prison, Jean Brown.  You will want to do as I instruct, regardless of this difficulty.”<br/><br/>She wanted to ask why, and her instincts told her that she couldn’t and shouldn’t.<br/><br/>Failure wasn’t an option.<br/><br/>“You get one chance, Ms. Brown.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/04/07/shadow-interlude-5-x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 5x II]]</ref>

When talking about the type of people who sought out Accord, she implied she was the type that had power and sought more.<ref name="21.4 e3">“Why?” I asked.  “Why leave a successful, ordinary, ''happy'' life behind, and go to that risk?  Why work for Accord, of all people?”<br/><br/>“Power,” Citrine said.  She turned her back to the portal to meet my eyes, her dress flaring slightly with the rotation of her body.<br/><br/>“Power isn’t magical,” I said.  “It creates as many problems as it solves.”<br/><br/>“Power is less a thing unto itself than it is a journey.”<br/><br/>“To ''where''?”<br/><br/>Her eyes were penetrating as she gazed at me.  “Not all journeys have destinations.  Power is the ability to effect ''change'', and people who create change ride that tide, with far-reaching effects.  For some of us, that’s something we’re born into.  Our fathers or mothers instill us with a ''hunger'' for it from a very early point in time.  We’re raised on it, always striving to be the top, in academics, in sports, in our careers.  Then we either run into a dead-end, or we face diminishing returns.”<br/><br/>“Less and less results for the same amount of effort,” Grue said.<br/><br/>“Others of us are born with nothing.  It is hard to get something when you don’t have anything.  You can’t make money until you have money.  The same applies to contacts, to success, to ''status''.  It’s a chasm, and where you start is often very close to where you finish.  The vast majority never even move from where they began.  Of the few that do make it, many are so exhausted by the time they meet some success that they stop there.  And others, a very small few, they make that drive for success, that need to ''climb'' becomes a part of themselves.  They keep climbing, and when someone like Accord recognizes them and offers them another road to climb, they accept without reservation.”<br/><br/>“Which are you?” Grue asked.  “Did you start with power, or did you fight for it?”<br/><br/>Citrine smiled a little, looking over her shoulder at the tower.  “I suspect Tattletale will tell you, if you’re curious enough to ask.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/imago-21-4/ Excerpt] from [[Imago 21.4]]</ref>

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Under Accord, she helped to watch [[Blasto]] in his lab,<ref name="19.x">[[Interlude 19.x]]</ref> and was one of only two known Ambassadors to survive the raid by the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]].
===Post-[[Echidna]]===
She accompanied [[Accord]] to a neutral meeting of all the villains in [[Brockton Bay]]<ref name="I20" />. Afterwards, she agreed with [[Othello]]'s assessment that the Ambassadors could deal with any individual group but not more.

Accord sent her to inform the Undersiders leadership that the Ambassadors would be "recruiting" five new parahumans - by which she meant purchasing five vials from [[Cauldron]] for Accord's five highest unpowered lieutenants. She admitted that she was also a Cauldron cape.<ref name="21.4" />

She led the [[Ambassadors]] alongside the [[Undersiders]] against the [[Teeth]].<ref name="21.6" />

===[[New Delhi]]===
During [[Battle against Behemoth|the battle]] with [[Behemoth]], she helped suppress his sonic attack<ref name="24.3" />. This extended to several other effects the dynokinetic monster used against the defending forces. She was not able to counter all of the Endbringer's attacks however and eventually had to withdraw from the battle, due to exhaustion.

===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
She still leads the Ambassadors and had begun a relationship with The Number Man.

===Early-[[Ward]]===
Jeanne Wynn was elected mayor of [[The City]]. She and her [[Number Man|husband]] worked to keep things in check.

===Post-[[Goddess' Takeover]]===
Jeanne negotiated with [[Earth Shin]] regarding [[Red Queen]]'s host.<ref>[[Breaking 14.6]]</ref>

[[Breakthrough]] agreed to work with her.

Citrine halfheartedly re-approves practice of retaliatory [[kill order]]s.

Once [[Cradle]] tried to leave [[Earth N]] through a reactivated portal he ran headlong into Citrine and [[Number Man]] leading a crowd of parahumans. Citrine nullified Cradle's mover abilities and expressed the desire to proceed with his kill order, but [[Antares]] suggested to keep him alive as a precaution.<ref>[[Heavens 12.9]]</ref>

===Post-[[Assault on the Time Bubbles|Time Bubble Pop]]===
Citrine had granted some degree of autonomy to [[Bluestocking]] and villains of [[Earth N]] as was promised by [[Breakthrough]].

She was outed as a parahuman by [[Gary Nieves]].<ref>[[Breaking 14.2]]</ref> In ensuing diplomatic conflict with [[Earth Shin]] Citrine and her husband were called in to recover [[Breakthrough]] from Earth Shin custody.<ref>[[Breaking 14.9]]</ref>

Citrine was leading the assembly of the second assault team deploying against [[Teacher]]. She presented her own parahuman team, created from the recovered vials.<ref>[[Interlude 15.a II]]</ref>

Jeanne and [[The Number Man|Kurt]] were caught in a car bombing blamed on anti-parahuman faction.<ref>Citrine and her husband were at work, they received a phone call, departed immediately to leave, skipping their usual procedures in their hurry, and were blown up by a car bomb.  One injured, one dead.  It was anti-parahumans.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/08/10/dying-15-z/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 15.z II]]</ref> Jeanne survived it. She accepted [[Contessa]] as a political consultant.<ref name="16.1II">[[From Within 16.1]]</ref>

===Post-[[Attack on Teacher]]===
She was present in the Wardens' situation room during [[The Second Shin Crisis]]<ref name="II17.8">[[Sundown 17.8]]</ref> and [[The Ice Breaks|Ice Breaking]]. She was noticeably shocked, seeing as her work of recent years collapses around her.<ref name="II17.z">[[Sundown 17.z]]</ref>
