Description
Jane Royal is a central character and a bounty hunter operating in deep space. She is one of a set of triplets, with her sisters being Catherine and Dominique Royal. Her initial encounter with the infamous outlaw Cobra occurs in a bar, where she first catches his attention. At the outset, Jane is skeptical of a man who claims to be the legendary space pirate Cobra, believing the real Cobra perished years ago. Her doubt is shattered when she witnesses his cybernetic Psychogun in action against assassins from the Pirate Guild.
Jane's primary motivation is to rescue her sisters, who have been separated from her. She recruits Cobra for a critical mission to free her sister Catherine, who is imprisoned on the planet Sido by the Pirate Guild, a dangerous organization led by the enigmatic Crystal Bowie. The three sisters share a mysterious bond, as each carries a tattoo on her back that together form a map to the location of the Absolute Weapon, a powerful artifact hidden by their father, the late Captain Nelson. This secret makes them targets for the Guild, which seeks to claim the weapon's power.
Her relationship with Cobra forms the emotional core of her story arc. As a bounty hunter, Jane is assertive and capable, but she also demonstrates a capacity for deep emotional connection, forming a quick bond with Cobra as they work together. Her role in the story is ultimately tragic. During the rescue attempt on Sido, Jane is captured by Crystal Bowie and infected by Tarbeige, a plant-like being who implants a seed that takes control of her mind. Under this hypnosis, she becomes a hunter of her own sister and mortally wounds Catherine. In the television series, Catherine uses her remaining strength in an attempt to save Jane, but the effort only grants Jane a brief reprieve. Jane ultimately meets her end while confronting Crystal Bowie, leaving Cobra grief-stricken and seeking vengeance.
Jane possesses the skills of a professional bounty hunter, including combat proficiency and piloting abilities. More significantly, she and her sisters are the last survivors of the Miras Star People, granting them a psychic connection that allows for the transfer of memories and emotions; upon her death, her romantic feelings for Cobra are transferred to her surviving sister, Dominique. Physically, Jane is described as 170 cm tall with green eyes, and in the film adaptation, she has light blue hair. Her tragic fate and the love she develops for Cobra serve as powerful catalysts for the ensuing conflict and the ultimate resolution involving her sisters and the super-weapon known as Myrus.
