Canon Resource Links: Here we would have the links to wikis and other information sites. If none of those seem to provide enough information, feel free to add more about the character here. However, please do not use this section as a full history section unless your canon is ridiculously obscure. General rule of thumb: if there are a good amount of descriptive resources, please just link them and use this section to add in what may have been left out, as opposed to writing an entire history section.

Personality:

Jane is a surprisingly level minded girl for her age, is a thought that comes to mind when you are thinking of Jane Crocker. The heiress to the big “CrockerCorp”, she has believed all her life that she will take over the company and boy will she have plans for it. Due to this, and her very strict business like attitude her friends call her “uptight” or “tightass”, both of which outright denies whenever she can. But amongst all of this, Jane is just a fifteen year old girl with a passion for things such as comedy, frightening fauna, and being a self-proclaimed “prankstress” of her household”.

Jane is an old-fashioned girl, perhaps from the way she fixes her short spunky hair, or even from the way she speaks. True, she doesn't speak as if she were an old maid; however, she does pepper her every day speech with words like "dagnabbit", "golly", or even "plumb stupid". She is an advocate and full believer of perfect grammar which may also give off the vibe of her being uptight to her friends. She finds that she is even going the extra mile to correct her friends grammar when they pesterchum one another, especially Roxy.

One of the most negative things about Jane is her stubbornness and skepticism. Her fool proof way of believing someone is if she has tangible evidence in front of her eyes. Which is part of the reason her and Roxy sometimes have a difficult time talking and getting along with one another. Roxy knows that she isn't lying to Jane about the fishy company she is an heiress to, but Jane will refuse to believe her until she has proof. Her stubbornness to believe certain things also becomes rather frustrating her friends, and has more than once lead Jane into trouble.

Jane is also extremely sheltered. Her father kept her under lock and key for a very long time. While her father ultimately thought he was doing a swell thing for his daughter by keeping her safe from the many assassins that tried to get at her from the outside world. This lead to Jane being very immature, and not having a fully developed way of handling the outside world. Her immaturity often leads to her being reckless, for example when Jane puts on a horrid disguise to escape her house for a video game- this nearly gets her killed by an exploding mailbox. Another example of just her recklessness would be when she does not heed the warning of Dirk's Auto-Responder and goes to Derse looking for her father and the end result is her being stabbed and thus making unfavorable outcome to the plans AR and Dirk had for the session. (Though this is merely an assumption, since we don't really know what the Auto-Responder had to do with those particular situations, and in canon he is still an unknown factor).

Similar to the Beta session's John, she was donned the leader of her group. She protested it heavily at first, though Dirk states that Jane has all the "plucky spunk" that the team needs for a leader. That is completely true, Jane isn't all negativity and tensity. She has the outgoing characteristics for a leader. She is spunky, and outgoing when she has the drive and determination for something. That something being looking for her Father.

She regards everyone around her fondly, and she tends to care deeply for those that she loves. Even warning Dirk after she sees him in the clouds of prospit of the doom to come. While she is a very reliable gal she has a hard time handling her own emotions, usually setting them aside for the sake of others. The most outstanding example of this is when Jake confronts her about her feelings for him, and she outright lies to him about them. Not having the courage she would have desired to be able to admit that she indeed really fancied Jake. Dirk then came into the outline of that conversation and she took the emotional fall and told Jake to pursue him if that is what felt right. This is proof that Jane doesn't really know how to handle her emotions in an efficient way.

As a character, Jane has grown and faltered, showing us that she has more personality traits than one could have ever expected.

As an added thing, Jane ignited something well known as the "Trickster Arc". In this arc her personality may not have shifted completely, but her mindset surely did. She said things she would not have been apt to say previously. It was more something you could compare to a "sugar high", and was short lived. This results in the group coming to their quest beds and where they all sort of finally talk out their problems.

Not that it needs a double mention, but this was the result of Jane not really knowing how to deal with her emotions, or stress. She deals with them very poorly.

Jane's last form in the comic itself is "Crokertier", in which she becomes very rude and outspoken because she is being controlled. Needless to say, this is very important to her character development but will not be relevant in game itself.

Strengths/Weaknesses:


+Grew up around baking! So she has a lot of baking skills. Which I'm sure can also translate that she has cooking skills as well!
+Kind hearted: She donated a huge sum of money so that kids could go to Boon College.
+Maid of Life: The canonpoint I am bringing her from she is newly transformed into the "Maid of Life". At that point we did not know what her powers held. But recent canon updates show that Jane has the power to bring people back to life.
+Problem Solving/Quick Wit: Jane solved the puzzles of LOCAH by herself. She is self sufficient and can think on her feet!
+High Tolerance: Jane has a very high tolerance for bullshit re: Jake's relationship problems. Even if it wasn't part of the on screen interaction with the Alpha kids. Jane probably listened to Jake go on all the time about Dirk.
+Musical Ability: She plays the piano! Even if it was only shown briefly, it is a skill she has.

+/-Skepticism: A healthy dose of skepticism is never a bad thing! But when it gets in the way of your friendships and accuse someone of lying to you. Yeah. That can turn into a negative mark really fast.

-Kind of sheltered: Jane was the only one of her group to have not really roughed it before being thrown in SBURB. Sure she had people after her head because she's an heiress. But she certainly didn't live in the jungle, or happen to be one of two humans left on the entire earth in the future.
-Reckless: Jane. She is really reckless. Not listening to Auto Responder and getting herself killed is a really good example of this.
-Being under pressure: This is REALLY BAD for Jane. Putting her under some kind of emotional stress causes her to wig out. Example being when she tried to confess her crush to Jake, and she completely friendzoned herself by accident.
-Anger/Irrationality: The only downside to her tolerance is that when there is no more tolerance left she becomes very angry and extremely irrational. At her own birthday party, the situation with Jake exploded. Her rationality was thrown to the wayside and she did not handle the situation very well. She flipped a table in anger, and she ran away crying. There were so many other ways to handle that situation, and she was unable to think to do those things.

Samples
First Person Sample:

So this isn't really what I imagined would happen to me after being attacked by Jake's crazy grandma. No, she really was sweet. I don't think I am very certain as to what happened to her. Oh but never mind that! It is highly unlikely that she would even be here anyways.

Shucksbuster, I thought it was highly unlikely that I would even be here.

[Jane is treating this like her personal diary. Except. Broadcasted to the entire region. Good job Jane, you get a gold star for this one.]

I've left New Bark Town at this point, I'm heading.....somewhere on a route with my new friend Cupcake (a Happiny)! She is certainly precious, and we're already off to a good start on being the most swell of pals. Gracious...I must sound crazy saying all of this. I bet Dirk, Jake, and Roxy would laugh at me. I wish they were here to see this. It would be exciting to take an adventure like this together!

Third Person Sample:

Being stuck in a world she thought was a highly thought out fantasy, it's enough to get a skeptic's blood running. She didn't believe it. Of course she didn't! Jane Crocker, believing anything that happens to her right off the bat? No sir. No way. Not even now. Nothing was going to sway Jane on how she is viewing this, one big fat dream.

Jane guesses she could have a worse dealing in dreams; this was pretty tame in manner of what she had previously been dealing with. She shrugs the thought from her shoulders, she didn't want to think about it right now. What was happening back in SBURB could be handled another time. Before she began her aimless wandering she checked out the bag provided to her. Clothing, some toiletries, gear, and it seemed as if she had received extra things as she is going down the route of a breeder. She stops at a rock on the way to where she thinks the next town will be, it is time to sit here and collect her thoughts.

Jane takes a deep breath, dare she review her morning?

Jane recalls wakes up in a strange place which she finds out to be New Bark Town, she goes downstairs and she’s handed a PokéBall and told by her ‘Mom’ that she is starting some kind of journey. A Pokémon journey to be exact, and she knows the rest would be history if anyone were reading her text bubbles. This was a game right? This had to be a game. There was absolutely no sign of any of her friends being around, and she is sure even they would laugh at her once she woke up and told them how crazy realistic this dream had been. Even giving herself a moment to think is dangerous, she remembers all of the things that happened to her pre-Pokémon fantasy dream and wonders- what if this isn’t a dream?

She takes the bag off of her back and rummages around for a moment, ah, there it is! She fumbles around with the ball for a moment before finally figuring out how to open it. A creature starts hopping around, which she figures out is a Happiny, the first stage of Chansey. She reaches out and the Pokémon pats her fingers happily in some sort of greeting, she figures this little creature must only be a baby. It’s cute, and somewhat comforting in this kind of situation. But from here she doesn’t know where to go, or what to do, or how to function properly in this world. If this was something she would have to get used to, she would need to suck it up and get going. Just as Jane was getting far too flustered and angry for her own good, something was placed in her hand. Jane looks at the item, an egg shaped rock, and her Happiny. A soft smile plays back onto her face. She really shouldn’t be angry.

“You’re right,” she begins speaking out loud presumably to her new friend and it tips it's head at her, “I can’t just sit here a mope. We have a journey to start and friendships to form! I can sleuth the finer details out later, gosh darn it!” Jane stands up, resilient as ever. “No matter how long it takes, I think you and I can do it together.”

(Though this is merely an assumption, since we don't really know what the Auto-Responder had to do with those particular situations, and in canon he is still an unknown factor).

Much like the Beta Session's John, she was given the title "friendleader". She protested it heavily at first, though Dirk states that Jane has all the "plucky spunk" that the team needs for a leader. That is true, Jane isn't all negativity and business. She is spunky, and outgoing when she has the drive and determination for something. That something being looking for her Father.

This is proof that Jane doesn't really know how to handle her emotions in an efficient way.

This being said, Jane is still a developing character and it's very likely that all of her personality quirks and canon growth since Act 6 Act 1 have not been revealed yet.

( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :

+Maid of Life: Not much light as been shed on this ability quite yet. But from what we have seen in canon, her dreamself quite literally brought herself back to life. Points for it being called the "lifey thing", much like John's "windy thing".

+ Problem Solving: Jane is very good at problem solving. This was shown while she was on LOCAH, solving the puzzle of her own planet. By herself.

+Baking: Jane is a good cook in general. But she really shines when she has to bake something. Her personal preference being Betty Crocker brand things, but give her a kitchen and some time and she'll have four days worth of cakes and other pastries baked up.

+/- Skepticism: A healthy dose of skepticism isn't always a bad thing. But take the healthy dose and let it fester as Jane has let hers and it can lead you to all sorts of trouble. It puts a large strain on her friendship with Roxy, and requires her to have evidence in front of her face before she will believe anything.

- She's kind of sheltered: Jane hasn't lived the kind of lives her friends have. So being put in Sburb with no skill in fighting, and no sense of what the outside world really is can really be a culture shock.

- Reckless: Her optimism can lead her to be kind of reckless. Getting her into all sorts of trouble. Risking herself and other peoples lives.

( Other Important Facts ) :

*Her tiaratop sends subliminal messaging which Jane has been subjected to all of her life.
*Her Sylladices fetch modus is recipe! Instead of showing some stupid dumb coding on the back, it gives Jane helpful tips on how to create the item she captchalouged! This item + that item = your item. (This many grist required here)
*Her Strife Specibus is both ForkKind and SpoonKind, both retained by her Junior Battermaster's Bowlbuster Stirring Solution 50000. Though in later updates it seems that Jane has preferred ForkKind, as she is holding a giant fork that seems to have been merged with a royal scepter.
*She is the Maid of Life.
*Pre-Scratch self is Nanna, John's Grandmother.

Character: Jane Crocker.
Timeline: Act 6 Part 2, [S] Jane: Proceed.

Personality:

Jane is perhaps the most cool headed of the Alpha children, often by her proclaimed best friend Roxy she is called “uptight” or a “tightass” simply because she maintains a very business-like approach to things and she has a very low tolerance for people acting out of line. However, Jane is not really perceived with the stricter aspects of her personality. She is a free spirit, and often found enjoying things like Detective stories, Situational Comedies, and just humor in general. Jane has a very happy outlook on life and there isn’t much that could really get in the way of her thinking like that.

Another thing to remember is that Jane is a teenager. She is a teenager that also happens to be a girl. It is most certainly normal to see that her, as well as Roxy and (supposedly one-sided in the back of his own mind) Dirk have a crush on Jake- and she went and messed it up for herself. After she had gotten in contact with him she outright denies having any feelings for him (when she obviously does). This displays that while she had lied and ultimately landed herself in the friendzone, she would refuse to take it back.

It takes a lot to put Miss Crocker to her shame. I believe this may be a re-instated theme with her. She is an intelligent teenaged girl, old fashioned at best, and living in Washington. She is the heiress of a major company, and while she wants to goof off and horseplay with her friends she must retain a very business-like appearance and speech pattern to not embarrass herself and the company. To be a proper heiress you must set a good example for your company.

Jane is an old-fashioned girl, her syntax and grammar are impeccable. Even with the occasional emoticon within her chat logs, it is seen that Jane even seems a bit uptight when communicating with her friends. She uses a lot of older slang terms such as “dagnabit”, “golly”, and of course “plumb stupid”. She finds that she is correcting her friends even in online chat. However, when Jane is seen excited, or even frustrated, she loses her composure and her grammar deteriorates

One of the more negative and completely dislikable things about Jane’s personality is her lack of belief in things, and her over skepticism. It is proven that in canon events, Jane doesn’t take heed to word at all and needs any proof before she is going to wise up and listen to someone, and this means even if they have been notifying her about for the past how many ever times that they happened to have had a chance to a conversation. This very situation happened with Roxy and her outrageous claims about the Crocker Company. She has a very hard time seeing things any way but her own, and will stand by her belief with a firm foot until she gets it proven to her.

Jane can come off as a bit immature and closed minded sometimes, often dazing around in her own little area of her mind where she is the only one right. Because of this lack of maturity, she often loses her patience and goes off and does things on her own, frustrating not only her father but her friends as well. This kind of thing has resulted in a near-death experience twice. Even in an instance like this, she is never too proud to admit that she was wrong. She has her pride to keep after all!

She regards everyone around her fondly, and she tends to care deeply for those that she loves. As quite similar to the Beta session and John, Jane was denoted the leader of their group. This is a title she takes with a level head, even though in the comic itself it never really gives much purpose to the title. She unlike John is fearless, not running away from her problems unless they absolutely get nasty enough.

Background :

Before we can even begin to delve within the background of Jane Crocker, it is necessary to look back to the very beginning of the web comic. It starts off with a young boy named John Egbert, who met three people on the internet; Dave Strider, Rose Lalonde, and Jade Harley.

It is John’s birthday, and this when the four start a session in a game called “Sburb”. This game was not played on any game console; it was played in the real world. The children were able to use their imaginations to create their own setting and prototype their own sprites the way they wanted them; however it ended up not working that way for John as well as he’d hoped- his kernelsprite prototyped with his deceased grandmother!

They play the game, play the game, and play the game more before they realize that this isn’t just about playing the game anymore. It’s resetting the game completely. They have to accomplish this via the scratch. There’s only one dent in the bumper however if they reset the session back to normal there is a huge possibility that the very world that they have come to know and come to love very much could be changed forever. They know the risks they are taking and decide it would be in their best interest to attempt to reset their session. Dave and Rose meet up with the trolls at this point; John and Jade have managed to break the fourth wall. Here is where they must wait for three entire years.

This takes us straight into Act 6, where we meet our four new main characters: Jane Crocker, Roxy Lalonde, Dirk Strider, and Jake English. At first it is very much like everything has been flipped within the universes. Jane has John as her Poppop, Rose is assumed to be Roxy’s mother, Jade is Jake’s grandmother, and Dave is Dirk’s older brother. See, they are practically flipped around.

Formally introduced here is Jane Crocker, a 15 and a half year old girl from Washington that has been chosen as a tester for the Alpha version of Sburb (funny how things work since John Egbert lived in the very same house in his respective session). Being in the Alpha session she also had a role in the Beta session. Remember the prototyped Kernelsprite that belonged to John? That’s right, Jane Crocker is Nanna of the Beta session. Often hanging around to bake John cookies and give him lingering advice. She becomes sort of a guide and a push for him to get into the Medium. Unfortunately, John lost her Sprite Necklace within one of his many adventures.

We discover that Jane lives with her father in their lovely little suburban Washington home, and is the heiress of the prestigious Betty Crocker Company! She is proud to say that she will be taking over this company someday and that her friend’s stupid claims of there being some sort of “batterwitch” are completely rude and unacceptable, she is Betty Crocker’s number one fan after all.

Being an heiress she is trapped within her house all the time by her father since there are normally several attempts on her life at a time, and golly is that unacceptable! She often speaks with her friends Dirk Strider, Roxy Lalonde, and Jake English. After several attempts of Roxy trying to put out crazy claims on the Crocker Company, Act 6 Part 1 draws to a close as Jane scampers out to her mailbox and the proof she needed all along exploded directly in her face. Jane awakens on Prospit and is admiring the start of something new, this however is short lived when Jack Noir stabs her in his ploy to kill all of the Alpha children; Jake’s dreamself had already been killed by allergy his deathly allergy to peanuts. The first hint of her taking her title “Maid of Life” is when she assumedly resurrects by doing a “Lifey” thing. Jack makes another attempt on her life and that becomes short lived.

Act 6 Part 2 opens to Jane sleeping soundly by her home, GodCat (the supposed guardian) has been the one assumed to have saved Jane. Roxy sends her a deadly ~ATH code and her computer explodes and once again GodCat saves her. Dirk becomes her server player, and with the help of the AR Jane is able to safely get into her father’s study and have a minor flip out session with Jake and outright denies any feelings that she may have had for him. With that one her plate she creates the Cruxite tree, and her and her house disappear into thin air.

We have arrived at the Land of Crypts and Helium, which will take us straight to my current canon point.

Abilities/Additional Notes:

Jane really has no canon ability besides baking! She’s really good at baking. She is the heiress of a baking company after all.

A common skill between all Homestuck characters is their Sylladex with a specified fetch modus. A Sylladex comes in many different shapes and forms, and each Sylladex is notably in great reference to their owner. Jane’s fetch modus is Recipe, giving Jane the ability to store her items within with a specific “recipe” the items are made up of.

Another ability that can be noted is her Strife Specibus. Jane not only has one, but she has two! She retains forkkind and spoonkind with none other than her trusty Junior Battermaster's Bowlbuster Stirring Solution 50000, which is easily changed with the flick of a button! This trusty Specibus is not only handy for cooking! It has several million recipes stored within it, and that is the best kind for a Junior Batterlass like herself! Both of these things can attribute to Jane’s love for cooking.

She has also been given the title “Maid of Life”, though the full potential of her ability has not yet to have been revealed by Andrew Hussie. Yet, gentle hints here and there suggest there is potential for great power within Jane.
