Jane Martingale

Jane Martingale "You had to lie down with pain, not draw back away from it. You let yourself sort of move around the outside edge of pain like with cold water until you finally got up your nerve to take yourself in hand. Then you took a deep breath and dove in and let yourself sink down it clear to the bottom. And after you had been down inside pain a while you found that like with cold water it was not nearly as cold as you had thought it was when your muscles were cringing themselves away from the outside edge of it as you moved around it trying to get up your nerve." -- James Jones, From Here to Eternity       Overview Appearance: A muscular woman about 5'9", Jane is usually seen in casual clothing, without sleeves if the weather will allow it. She has dark brown eyes and short black hair in an undercut, and doesn't tend to smile much. There are usually signs that Jane's been in a fight lately visible--bruises she doesn't want to explain, old scars, her knuckles often being swollen and bruised. She carries a small black leather backpack instead of a purse. Personality: Jane is brusque, surly and a little bit mean on the surface, the sort of person who puts up nice thick walls to prevent people from getting too close to her. However, once you do get past those barriers, the person who she is underneath is fiercely protective of the people who are 'hers'. Public History Graduated high school locally in 2013; dropped out of community college a year later Appeared in local underground fighting rings under the name Jade Marlowe in 2014 Joined The Mind's Eye Society and began working at Will's bookstore in 2017   RP Hooks Hit Me Like You Did the First Time - Jade Marlowe is an up-and-coming fighter in the underground scene. She's a scrappy fighter, who seems to be built wholly of muscle and snark. She's known for a gritty street fighting style, and has been heard to say, in the past, that the reason she's not participating in more formally sanctioned events is that 'it wouldn't be fair', whatever that means. Guy Who Got a Headache and Accidentally Saves the World - While most members of The Mind's Eye Society are scholars of the occult, researchers or scientists, Jane also counts herself among the group, viewing herself as responsible for security during meetings and allowing herself to be a test subject for those smarter than herself. The Magician vs. The Headache - Jane is definitely not a scholar, which makes her day job working at Shelf Indulgence a little confusing to some people. But there's no mistaking the loyalty that Jane bears toward her boss and the store. Are you looking for a new romance novel, or a copy of the Voynich Manuscript? You might have the misfortune of stopping by on a day when Jane is running the shop.   Contacts Jack Martingale: The humiliating ordeal of being known isn't what it once was. Though Jack and Jane have always been close, secrets have a way of putting a rift between people. Are you really going to love me when I'm gone, with all my thoughts and all my faults? William Rodgers: For some reason, Jane seems to show him more respect than almost anyone else in town. Devan Orsey: The old man is a constant source of exasperation and warmth in Jane's life. They've known one another for a good few years, and been through plenty of trouble together. But for all the frustration, and how mismatched they seem, there's clearly a lot of fondness between the pair, communicated in casual touch and shared looks. We are strong, we are faithful; we are guardians of a rare thing. Jack Drexel: They've had much more than the equivalent of a formal introduction. Jade has the rare distinction of having actually hit Jack during a fight. Beyond that, there's a bond of trust forming between them, despite (or perhaps because of) little dramas along the way. A true pair of Battle Buddies.   Gallery File:Jane4.jpg
