Regine Cesaire is a minor character in the Jem animated series. She is fashion designer and friend of Countess Danielle Du Voisin. She is an avid fan of Jem and The Holograms.
History[]
Regine comes from Fort-de-France, the capital city of Martinique in the French Antilles (in Windward Island) of the Caribbean. Regine's father is a translator of English, French, Spanish and Creole languages. She learned about fabrics from her mother, Vanessa, who makes hand-printed textiles. As a teenager, Regine designed all of her clothes.
Danielle Du Voisin was a client of Regine's mother, which allowed her to discover her talent. Danielle took Regine to Paris for training and later to live in Danielle's mansion.
Regine is featured in the episode Straight from the Heart. In it, Jem and The Holograms initially reject her designs, which causes her to go to The Stingers instead; however, they end up using her. In the end, Regine goes back to The Holograms and they decide to wear Regine's creations in their next concert.
Personality[]
Regine is a very cheerful person but she also has a temper and doesn't handle criticism well. She is very enthusiastic toward designing clothes. She can also be quite emotional, though, which may cause her to get manipulated easily.
Doll[]
Regine was made as a prototype but was never officially released. When the band members had been scrapped (both The Holograms and The Misfits), Hasbro needed a new African-American doll to replace Shana, this was going to be Regine.
Regine's prototype never came up for sale, neither did Astral's.
The 2013 Integrity Toys exclusive Jem and The Holograms dolls collection released a Regine Cesaire doll featuring a very faithful design as how Regine appeared in the series.
