CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Jane Lane
Series: Daria
Age: Seventeen
Occupation: Student and artist
Timeline: Mid way through S5 E7, "Art Burn", when she begins to believe she's stumbled into an art forgery ring.)
Personality: Jane Lane; artist extraordinaire is far from what you'd expect a high school girl to be like. Instead of being brainless and perky, Jane's sharp as a tack and cynical beyond her years. While Jane shows incredible intellect via her art and speech, her grades don’t reflect as such. According to ‘Jane’s Addition’, she’s on academic probation for her low grades. This may be causes by her laziness or simply by her lack of care towards school.
Jane's shown to be quite the gambler, beginning several bets with Daria, most notably in S5 E3, "Fat Like Me", where makes numerous bets, such as gambling five dollars on that there are more Juicy Joe's than there are Zoo Zoo Drops in a packet. When she loses the bet, she offers another five in the belief that Kevin Thompson will crush a can with his head in an attempt to impress his friends. Again, the loses the bet, but, once more, bets that the fashion club will disband in the President's absence.
Her witty banter even extends to her superiors. On numerous occasions, Jane pokes fun at Ms. Barch's fury over her divorce, once even quoting Shakespeare's "'Tis better to have loved and lost". This fearless playfulness is even used on Mr. DeMartino, shown when Jane finishes his sentences in S5 E3 "Fat Like Me", by quietly guessing each insult he's about to use on the students. Although, despite her playfulness, Jane is shown to be extremely sarcastic. When Lawndale High goes on a camping trip, while some students discuss the concerning weather Jane looks at the dark clouds and asks if they're 'in for a storm of epic proportions'. Again, when Mr. DeMartino begins to go on a psychotic rant about how his 'buddy' married his Mother, Jane wanders by, asking Daria if she 'wants to hear any more of this story'. Her sarcasm also seems to give her something of a morbid personality, as during the group hike the supplies are left at the bus due to Quinn's idiocy, Jane smiles and informs Daria that things could be worse, and that at least they were going to get to watch a lynching.
Jane also demonstrates a wild imagination, considering that Quinn might become the Fashion Club's leader and bring about the apocalypse and that Daria might be a communist, lesbian alien. Due to her serene attitude, it's hard to tell when she's serious, and she's most likely doesn't believe in such things; although, she is a fan of 'Sick, Sad World' a newspaper similar to 'The Weekly World News', which may have inspired her insane ideas. She also shows interest in the more macabre side of things, expressing an interest in cannibalism and unique ways to die. Since somewhat it works into her imagination, it's worth a mention that Jane will make up things in order to help her friends. When Daria wanted to have an apology session, believing she and Jane were to die, the two only made one apology each. Since Daria wanted to apologise for more, Jane says she's sorry that the M&M people 'added those ugly, blue M&Ms', successfully letting Daria make her peace.
As for her social graces, Jane prefers to keep out of things, observing them and mocking them from the sidelines. One could assume it's a defense mechanism, one designed to keep people from getting to know her, when, in fact, it's as simple as Jane just not liking people. She sees the majority of the world as dumb, therefor, a waste of time. Often she shows borderline sociopathic tendencies, often seeming to refer to her classmates more as things of either entertainment or annoyance, than people. If she didn't show genuine, human affection for a select few, one could say she's a complete sociopath. This leaves her out of the realms of mental illness into the realms of a plain, old anti-social personality, where only those with an intellect high enough to match her witty banter can have her positive attention.
Despite her dislike for humanity, Jane will give credit where credit is due. She calls Mrs. Li 'kinda heroic' when she volunteers to go save Mr. O'Neill. While she recanted the statement after finding out Mrs. Li was only doing it to get Mr. O'Neill's video camera, it still demonstrates a side of Jane that isn't completely sarcastic.
When it comes to romance, Jane is far from shy. When she first meets Tom, she fearlessly speaks to him, even mocking his assumption she's a singer by preforming the worst rendition of 'Old McDonald' in the known world. When he informs her of how terrible it was, her attraction to him grows, and she compliments him on being 'an honest one'. Clearly, Jane values honesty in a person - not just in friendships, but in romantic relationships. But, this confident air comes at a price. She’s incredibly insecure about her romantic relationships, being accusatory towards those who she believes are trying to threaten her romance. She always comes to her senses, though, and realises how unreasonable she’s acting. Although, her accusations always have a root of truth, making them not entirely implausible, just slightly paranoid, which she openly admits and accepts. In all, she’s afraid of abandonment, which makes sense, judging by how her parents are around her.
While Jane exhibits incredible loyalty towards her friends - as show through her constant support of Daria, even during Daria's relationship with Tom, even suggesting the two go out, despite having her heart broken - doesn't mean she's above teasing. In the S4 E7, 'Antisocial Climbers', Jane agrees to go on a school hike with Daria. When Daria thanks her, Jane shrugs it off, asking what else are friends for - then demanding fifty dollars. In earlier episodes, she teases Daria about her relationship with Trent, often dragging Tom away in order to give the two 'alone time'. When she feels emotionally overwhelmed, Jane tends not to express it, but to run, instead. Not run away, just run, something she shows a real talent for. When she does show emotional turmoil, it’s always quiet, no screaming - aside from her fight with Tom, though the screaming only lasted a second - or crying. Just quiet talking with someone close to her. Jane even seems confused about her own emotions, asking Trent why she feels like puking after breaking up with Tom.
AU Background: N/A
First Person Sample: Done in first person style. Prompts to help you:
Happy Hauntings? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't hauntings supposed to be, well, evil?
[Jane looks over at the camera, cocking her head towards a very pleased looking ghost that floats behind her.]
Can someone tell John Jacob Jingleheimer I-Forget-the-Rest to go away? He's getting on my nerves with all his joy and perkiness. Surely there's some sort of ghost union against this disappointing attempt at haunting.
[The ghost vanishes, and Jane sighs, scratching her nose. Although, a moment later, the ghost re appears, covered in blood and screaming like a banshee, before going silent and awaiting Jane's reaction to this new haunting.]
Hm. An improvement. But you've still got a long way to go, young one.
[Clearly, Jane doesn't care, simply staring at the ghost with not even a hint of fear. One could say she actually looks pretty bored with all this nonsense.]
Third Person Sample: Would Jane Lane pick to be trapped in a mansion full of dull, stereotypical ghosts, or, would she rather find out if she's been working for an art forgery ring. Frankly, the latter sounds much better to the artist.
Usually, Jane's ghost sightings were limited to blurry photos shown on Sick, Sad World; photos that were so terribly mangled that they looked much like a cross between Jane's brother, Wind, and a Labrador, matched with big, bold headings of 'Ghost Develops Romantic Relationship with Obese Poodle' and the like. Frankly, she preferred it that way. Ghosts were of no interest to her; they were simple annoyances, nothing to truly fear.
Which is why she could talk down the manion's many luxurious halls without a care in the world. The floating candles inspired no fear, no did the moving eyes of the paintings. If anything, it was so painfully stereotypical, Jane found it rather laughable.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm walking, I'm walking," she grumbled as one of the candles prodded her with it's base, sending her long, lanky legs off balance for a brief moment. Thankfully, she caught herself before she landed face first into the velvet carpet beneath her, tossing a glare over at the candle that had the nerve to shove her. Obviously, she was in for a long stay, judging by how happy the ghosts appeared when she passed them by - not that she minded the stay, should she find an art room with enough supplies to let her paint to her hearts content while trying to ignore the music and laughter and all around noise the past residents provided.
So, Haunted Mansion, get ready for a girl you simply can't scare.
