What are some personality traits for Jeanne and her father?

Jeanne’s father has his dignity stripped from him by not being able to provide for his family and this indignity is compounded because he left Japan in the first place due to the diminishing lack of respect for the samurai class there of which he was a member. Life gets no easier for Jeanne after the war when she manages to become popular enough at high school to be named carnival queen even though the teachers are actively campaigning against her. Papa is the bigger threat, however, when he finds out she won the vote—in his mind—by dressing inappropriately in front of boys.
