Born in Saint-Dominigue, Dominique Jean is the niece of a voodoo houngan and grew up under his doting tutelage. A clear and creative thinker with an open heart, she prefers to lead through her action. A generous collaborator, she is nethertheless deadly if crossed. At 16, she met Kumi Berko. They shared a brief romantic relationship that was cut short by his departure from the island.
Dominique is a French variant of the Latin name Dominicus, meaning "of the Lord, belonging to God". Jean is a French variant of the name John, ultimately from Hebrew יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan), meaning "Yahweh is gracious".
Variants of the name Dominicus were traditionally given to a child born on a Sunday, especially by Catholics.
