Description
Jane started as a professional model in New York, traveling to Africa for a photo shoot at seventeen. During this trip, lions threatened her until Tar-chan rescued her, prompting her to abandon modeling and live with him in the African savanna. Her wilderness lifestyle led to significant weight gain, establishing obesity as a consistent trait. She temporarily regained her slim figure using special pills from Renhou, but the weight returned after medical treatment for a near-fatal injury. She eventually bore Tar-chan twelve children: six boys and six girls.
Highly intelligent and multilingual, Jane spoke French, Russian, Chinese, and several other languages. She also understood chimpanzee communication, aiding her interactions with Etekichi. As the group’s strategist, she taught Tar-chan human language and frequently devised combat plans. Financially motivated, she placed large bets on Tar-chan and Pedro during tournaments and saved money to establish a wildlife protection company. She delegated domestic chores like cleaning and food gathering, reflecting a practical yet domineering approach to household management.
Despite her laziness, Jane exhibited physical strength, defending herself and performing feats like casually swinging a hippopotamus. Her diet was primarily lacto-vegetarian, though she consumed sweets like candy and manjū without restraint. She displayed jealousy and possessiveness in her marriage, permitting only a poster of her pre-obesity self in their home and reacting strongly to other women. Her past included a former boyfriend, Nicholas, a professional golfer she rejected for marriage; they maintained a friendly relationship, with him visiting her in Africa.
Jane’s character saw minimal development across the series. A short story, 'Jane’s Fruit Diet,' depicted a brief health-conscious phase, but her core traits—cunning, greed, and laziness—endured. She participated in adventures like diamond-hunting expeditions and martial arts tournaments, often leveraging situations for monetary benefit. Her role evolved from love interest to a stabilizing family force, managing logistics and finances while navigating conflicts with poachers and rivals.
