Jane Banner

Jane Banner is the deuteragonist of the 2017 thriller movie, . She is a young FBI rookie agent sent to the Wind River Indian Reservation to investigate the mysterious death of Natalie Hanson while being supported by USFWS hunter Cory Lambert.
She was potrayed by Elizabeth Olsen, who also portrayed Elle Brody in the 2014 Godzilla film and Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
== Physical Appearance==
Jane is a young woman of average height, a little shorter than Cory, with dark green eyes, thick calves, a fairly thin and stocky but slightly athletic physique, a plump butt, flat brown hair, and a pretty face with fine features.
When she arrived, she wore an FBI jacket accompanied by a shirt, jeans, thong underwear, and semi-high heels, but due to her useless clothing against the cold, she had to put on thermal underwear, a fleece, a hat, gloves, a choker and a blue ski outfit. Later, she wears a more civilian winter outfit that she purchased, consisting of a jacket, winter boots, and winter pants, while wearing her FBI tag around her neck.
==Personality==
As a rookie, Jane knows most of the tricks of her trade, but her inexperience prevents her from seeing the bigger picture, a trait that makes others doubt its usefulness. She is sometimes impatient to the point of neglecting important details, such as when she wanted to see the body without any equipment or proper comfy attire against the cold, showing a certain neglect of what is dangerous.
A slightly socially awkward person, Jane is neither good at making an impression on people nor proficient in questioning. However, she is not the type to let poor Nathalie's death remain unresolved, choosing to stay to conclude the investigation while allowing some breach of protocol, showing a deep sense of justice. In action, Jane is not afraid to act despite the difficulty or the mortal danger that presents itself. Realizing that she knew next to nothing about Wind River's harsh environment, she enlisted Cory Lambert's help in solving the case and throughout the film the two were able to trust each other and have not had a single different.
Overall, Jane is a concerned woman, somewhat insecure, kind, serious in extreme situations, intelligent, impressionable, emotional, honest and determined. Despite her sense of justice, Jane is well aware of human cruelty to the point that when she was seriously injured, she told Lambert to catch Pete Mickens knowing full well that Cory is going to kill him. The night before that, Jane was moved by reading a touching note from Cory's late daughter and ultimately chose to trust him completely to resolve Nathalie's death, the two becoming more amicable as a result.
During her recovery in the hospital, Jane expressed her gratitude to Cory for saving her earlier and although she claimed to have been only lucky to have made it out alive, Lambert comforted her by telling her that she was really strong, moving her to the point that she cried. Even after solving the crime, Jane was still mourning Nathalie because of her excruciating and painful death.
==History==
Stationed in Las Vegas, Jane was ordered urgently by her superiors to investigate a potential homicide at the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. After a long drive, she rented a car but got caught in a local blizzard, making it difficult for her. Once there, Jane still can't see anything because of the snow until Cory Lambert comes to guide her to the local police. Jane is soon introduced to local Police Chief Ben Shoyo and Dan Crowheart who were left stumped upon realizing that the FBI had only sent a poorly equipped rookie. Jane then insisted on going to see the body because of the freezing cold but Cory and Ben claimed that she would not survive the trip in her current clothes.
Receiving a winter suit from Dan's wife and having her thong criticized by his mother-in-law, Jane is escorted to the crime scene where she notices the blizzard has just subsided. While inspecting the body, Jane asks for more information about the victim Cory identifies as Nathalie Hanson. After requesting Nathalie's autopsy, Jane questions Cory about her knowledge of the area to try to deduce where Nathalie was from. Cory then shows Jane the prints of Nathalie deep enough to indicate that she was running, apparently to flee something to the point of freezing her lungs. Listening to Cory explain the desire to survive as well as the fact that he knew Nathalie personally, Jane realizes how much it is beyond her and asks Cory to be a consultant on the investigation. Asked then about her profession by the young woman, Cory tells her to be a hunter of all kinds of predators, so Jane asks him to hunt down a predator for her.
Later, a Jane now dressed in winter clothes finds Ben in the hospital to see Randy Whitehurst the medical examiner. Randy reveals that Nathalie was raped but clarifies that the cause of death is pulmonary hemorrhage and therefore cannot declare a homicide. Outraged by the formalities preventing both the intervention of an FBI team as well as the obvious fact that the case will be very quickly forgotten, Jane decides to get personally involved in the investigation, knowing that her head of department will send her back to Las Vegas after reading Randy's report.
Jane and Ben then interrogate Martin and Annie Hanson, Nathalie's parents, but Jane slightly offends Martin by repressing his lack of involvement in his daughter's life and gets nothing from Annie who mourns Nathalie, ultimately not getting it alone. information that Nathalie was going out with someone since can.
Jane, Ben and Cory then go to the Littlefeather brothers where Nathalie's brother Chip lives. Jane and Ben are greeted by visibly stoned Sam Littlefeather who dodges all questions before slyly spraying the two officers with tear gas to escape. As Cory intercepts Chip and Frank Walker, Jane chases Sam around the house and despite her senses clouded by tear gas, she manages to kill Sam in a firefight. The trio then attempt to interrogate Chip, only for the offender to collapse in tears upon learning of his sister's death.
When reinforcements arrive, Jane tells Cory about her procedure for obtaining Nathalie's boyfriend's name, but Cory disapproves as it lacks the basics. The hunter then shows traces of snowmobiles going up the mountain from far away from the crime scene, offering a new trail that Jane cannot follow as she admits to having no skills for it, so Cory takes her himself. The tracks followed to the forest, the duo found the body of a naked man in the snow. At nightfall, Cory manages to extract information from Chip which reveals that Nathalie's boyfriend works at the local borehole, much to Jane's dismay.
Later that evening, Jane finds Cory outside his house so that the second dead is Matt Rayburn, an employee of the drilling site. Cory then invites Jane inside where he serves her a glass of water before noticing her interest in photos of her late daughter, Emily, who died three years earlier. After listening to the tale of Emily's death, a slightly saddened Jane apologizes for almost throwing things upside down on Cory when he questioned Chip, claiming she just wanted to get it right but now she knows that she really needs his help. Touched, Cory reveals that Chip had informed him that Nathalie's boyfriend's name was Matt, in other words the second death. She then wishes him good night and looks forward to seeing him again tomorrow for the continuation of the investigation and leaves.
The next day, Jane, Ben and Cory accompanied by some local police officers go to the drilling. Upon their arrival, they are greeted by drilling agents Curtis and Dillon who deny knowing where Matt is. Jane notices the marks of blows on their faces, which they attribute to high-speed frank impacts on snowmobiles. As the group makes their way to the workers' dwelling, Jane is bluffing that Nathalie has come to report Matt's disappearance, leaving Curtis to pretend to have heard of the girl's death on the radio, which Jane finds suspicious because she didn't. heard nothing like that. One of the officers later accuses the workers of attempting to surround them, almost starting a gun showdown between the law enforcement officials and the workers until Jane uses her superior status to put an end to the tension.
As she prepares to enter inside, Jane is warned by Ben to walk away from the door before being shot from inside. Surviving thanks to her bulletproof vest, Jane witnesses the exchange of gunfire that leaves only her, Curtis and two other drilling workers alive. She tries to reload her gun, but Curtis takes it from her hand and holds her in cheek. Having left the group earlier to follow a lead, a camouflaged Cory shoots down Curtis, the other two workers and the one inside protecting the person primarily responsible for Nathalie and Matt's murder, Pete Mickens. When Pete tries to escape, a Jane crawling in the snow manages to reach him in the right flank. Found by Cory, Jane is brought back inside and the hunter stops the bleeding from her neck wound. Realizing the situation, Jane asks Cory to give her her radio so she can call a helicopter while telling Cory to corner Pete, knowing full well that he won't bring him back alive.
After Pete's death, Cory comes to visit Jane at the hospital where he thanks her for her help while calling her someone strong. Although touched, Jane cry as she thinks about Nathalie. With the investigation finally completed, Jane is repatriated home.

==Trivia==
*She is from Fort Lauderdale.
*After her role in the film, Elizabeth Olsen joined The Rape Treatment Center helping Native American women victims of domestic violence, similar to how Jane sought justice for Nathalie.
*As the film is primarily based on the true events of the disappearances and murders of indigenous women in America, Jane does not really have a real-life counterpart, having more likely been inspired by real people concerned about the situation.
