-- James Jones, From Here to Eternity Overview
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'. Another notable trait she demonstrates is...not so much a lack of curiosity as a lack of willingness to nose into things. If her choices are between her gaining knowledge and maintaining a positive relationship, she will opt for the latter almost every time. This has led to some clashing with psychics who are bolder about demanding answers from the universe. Jane is fantastically tactile, and you know she cares about you once she pats you on the shoulder, touches your hand or butts her forehead against your shoulder. While she doesn't go out of her way to impose contact on those who clearly would avoid it, there's signs that she's starved for connection. Public History
