He was never hit by the arrow. Jeanne was manipulated into thinking they would meet down by the river, but it was a scheme Diego and the Court created to lure her into becoming the guardian of the Annan Waters.
Read the chapter again more attentively and you can see how she was decived by the Court.

ok yeah i guess your right i just believed that the target that steadman was told to hit was the elf guy since it would be easier to hit him than try to find a specific part of water and his soul would act as a second guardian on the off chance that someone got past jeanne and was almost at the device

And the reason they did not look him up, I think, is because they needed his name (same reason that the artilleryman remains a mystery). Also, read the chapter more attentively  |

We don't *know* that Mr. Jeanne's Green was the target. But the only known alternative is "the middle of the river" or "some random fish" or something like that, which wouldn't explain why they had to wait for the green guy. And any alternative target would also have to explain Jeanne not trying to escape (or not being retrieved), and being so angry. A fish wouldn't be satisfactory.
In other words we've been given no plausible hints that the green guy was not the target, and it's hard to think of what else the target might have been.

All you have to do is look at that page of the comic. It's not rocket science. |

Also, the fact that we see him swimming across the Annan Waters, then an arrow hits, and he never reaches the other side. It's possible that he survived, I suppose, but not plausible. |

The amount of emotional weight given to the page where the arrow hits strongly suggests that the elf was hit by it, in my opinion. I've never read it any other way.

I've always considered it pretty much definitive that he was hit by the arrow and the court deceived both of them, her directly him by proxy through facilitating her communication with him. Other's have posited that because her heart was tied to his, having the device hit him was an effective way of trapping her spirit there.
My Theory on the events has always been that Diego's plan and the device he designed required a representative from each side of the river and that those sacrificed had to be linked to each other, hence when questioned about Jeanne's part in the plan "It has to be her" because of her love for the green fellow across the river. I also suspect he came up with this plan because of his resentment about Jeanne's love for green dude and his feelings of entitlement around the fact that he believed she should have loved him instead.

Wow, I remembered the whole thing all wrong. I had no memory of that page with the elf being hit. Sorry about that.
I've always thought the letters to Jeanne from her elf lover were fake, Steadman had shot her, and the arrow was meant to not only kill her, but also trap her spirit, barring her from the Ether. Thanks for clearing that for me, guys.
Now that I know she was just left there to wither away, it's a lot more revolting than it was at first. I thought they'd at least given her a quick death.
