Background Information[]
Personality[]
Originally shy and insecure, Jane grew up in Auradon where she was taught by her mother that magic came from inside of ordinary textbooks with Jane not being able to perform magic of her own. She often lacked self-confidence and was fearful of Mal, Jay, Evie and Carlos upon walking past them on their first day at Auradon Prep. Although she slowly trusted Mal after the latter made her hair appear better, Jane was easily influenced by the other Auradon Kids into believing once again that the four Villain Kids were trouble. After becoming friends with the four, Jane's personality drastically improves until she learns not to judge people on their appearance but merely how they are on the inside.[1]
Despite being trustful of the Villain Kids, she still had a dormant distrust of them to the point she accused Mal of stealing the mascot uniform unaware that it was CJ Hook. She is easily persuaded to the point Mal assured her that the uniform would be returned at some point. Upon learning she possesses the ability to cast magic, Jane feared that she could not perform it well since it was a new concept to her but eventually began to use it after being complimented.[2]
After she began to trust the Villain Kids and discovered that they were not as evil as she was originally brought up to believe, Jane's attitude and personality drastically improved, she became more confident in herself and trustworthy in her abilities as she took on the role of the head of the Royal Cotillion's decorating committee when Audrey was unavailable. She is more supportive of her friends and more disgusted when she does not approve of a situation such as when Chad claimed Lonnie could not join the Tourney team due to being a girl, she is also supportive of Ben and Mal's relationship where she used the stained glass window she created to help Mal save Ben when the latter was spelled by Uma. Although more confident, she can still be unaware of certain situations such as when Carlos had to explain that he wanted to go to Cotillion with her and then date her afterwards.[3]
Despite encountering Audrey on the day she became the Queen of Mean and being there when the latter spelled a group of party attendees to fall asleep, Jane continued to show that she was not scared and confronted Ben when he was in his Beast form, being the one to revert him back to normal by using a hose full of water from The Enchanted Lake that stopped the curse. Although she found her mother turned to stone, Jane still proved herself to be a worthy ally and still showed her affection for Carlos, being grateful he gave her a necklace of their names for her birthday, she later supported the idea for the barrier to be brought down when Auradon and the Isle of the Lost were united and was pleased to welcome the Isle kids.[4]
