Benigni, Jean

ジャン・ベニーニ

Jean is Marion Benigni's father and works as a set designer. He helps bring the stage to life for each of Kaleido Stage's shows by creating some of the stages where the performers perform. Jean was the one who told Sora about Marion's past when she was acting mean toward her and Sora's friends. Jean isn't seen much, but he is always there for Sora and her friends when they need him. He comments that when Sora puts her mind to something, it always finds a way to work out. He joins Marion, Johnathan, Ken, and Jerry when Sora's friends form Freedom Lights after Yuri takes over Kaleido Stage. Jean showed Marion her mother's performance journal, which helped inspire her to perform on the Children's Stage. He is a good friend of Kalos. He also had a wife named Cynthia, who was not only Marion's mother but also a trampoline star on Kaleido Stage. She died before the series began due to a stage incident, which left Marion very hurt inside. However, being with Sora helped Marion recover, something that made Jean happy to see.
