Name: Jean Khan
Age: 25
Looks: (picture optional)
Personality:Cold and distrusting, mostly. At least to outsiders. Then again, some would argue that the Khans have good reason to hate the outside world after what happened at Bitter Springs. Jean is no different, but unlike most she will at least hear a stranger out before passing judgement. Unless they're NCR, in which case they can just fuck right off, to put it in her own words. Despite such a prickly attitude, Jean doesn't actually go out of her way to pick a fight, not even with NCR. But don't think that means you'll get away with taking a shot at her or doing anything that would just piss her off in general. Jean keeps a lot of pent up rage inside and it shows when she fights... or when she's drunk. But if you can get past the thorny attitude and anger issues, you'll find a young woman who most might actually say is justified in her ways, even if she does have a massive chip on her shoulder.

Backstory:To understand Jean's story, one must look no further than the history of the Great Khans as a whole. Under the rule of Papa Khan, the Khans kept to themselves, living with an isolationist policy. Contact with other tribes and factions was kept to a minimum unless it was for trading. Conflicts between the Legion, NCR, and Mr. House was considered none of the Khans' business and so they opted for neutrality. Knowing the Khans' long and deadly history as a tribe of raiders, the NCR apparently decided they couldn't just leave them be. If they weren't dealt with, the Khans could become a threat again, so they launched a surprise attack against a Khan encampment at the Bitter Springs campground. Instead of soldiers, the NCR instead found women and children, defended only by a handful of actual soldiers. It wasn't a battle, it was an outright massacre. Still, the NCR believed that such a demoralizing blow would surely spell the end of the Great Khans, especially when reports came of Papa Khan being among the dead. The NCR couldn't be more wrong.
Instead, Bitter Springs served as a wake-up call to most of the Khans. For years they were living in what they now realized was naivety, and that now they had no choice but to pick a side and fight for survival. No one believed this more than a man named Sonny. Smilin' Sonny - or so he was called - was one of Papa Khan's trusted lieutenants, considered by many to be his right-hand man. With Papa gone, it seemed only natural for Sonny to take over and fill in his shoes. Only one person didn't like the arrangement, and that was Jean. Jean Khan was a young and eager scout, and also Papa's only daughter. She would have been slaughtered at Bitter Springs if not for sheer luck. It just so happened that she and Papa had an argument the week before and he "punished" her by sending her out on a long-distance supply run, Jean only returning in time to see the aftermath of Bitter Springs. She also always hated Sonny, who for the longest time kept calling her "his girl" and claiming that she would be his one day sooner or later. When Jean tried to oppose Sonny's takeover, he rightly pointed out that the Great Khans have - and always would be - a patriarchy, that no Khan would be caught dead swearing loyalty to a female leader.
Sonny even tried to brow-beat Jean into marrying him, that their union would only strengthen the Khans. Jean could only spit at the idea, but would have been forced into an arranged union if her mother hadn't stepped in and offered to marry Sonny instead. Jean felt a strong sting that day, seeing this as her mother not only betraying her but Papa's memory as well. Over the next three years Sonny has been working to mobilize the Khans to join Caesar's Legion and exact revenge on the NCR. As much as Jean despised the NCR for what they'd done, she couldn't help but feel this was the wrong decision. How could they possibly know if the Legion would treat them any better? For that matter, this new policy was in direct opposition to Papa's former policy of staying neutral and isolated. Maybe it was her loyalty to her father, or maybe it was her hatred for Sonny? Either way, Jean couldn't let him get away with this. One day, out of the blue, Jean challenged Sonny to trial-by-combat in order to win leadership of the Khan's from him. It was an old law, one the Khans hadn't needed to use in a long time, but Sonny accepted.
Jean never stood a chance. She was still young and inexperienced, and Sonny was Papa's strongest lieutenant, and and had even survived Bitter Springs. It was no contest, and Sonny was all too eager to finally shut Jean up for good. After all, this sort of battle was, by law, to the death. Jean would have died that day, and frankly she really should have. But someone stepped in to save her at the last moment. Jean's mother - whom rest of the tribe affectionately called Big Mama - invoked another of the Khans' old laws. She offered to take Jean's punishment herself. According to older Khan laws, it was perfectly acceptable for someone to offer themselves in place of another to spare them the punishment in exchange for a full pardon of the accused's crimes. Sonny was reluctant, but didn't want to risk angering the tribe by ignoring one of their laws. And so Big Mama was killed in Jean's place, and Jean now found herself without a mother or father, and her entire tribe seemingly turned against her by this smiling bastard who wasn't even born among the Khans. A little known secret about Sonny was that he used to be an outsider who joined the tribe after proving himself.
More determined than ever, Jean has sworn to herself that come hell or high water, she
would take back the tribe from Sonny and see him put in his place.
