Janice

**Janice H. Wallace** is a potential character in *Universal Rides* and *Adventure Squad*. She is Jessica and Baldwin's fraternal triplet, and later succeeds Selena as the second user of **Mystic Riser 6**.

## Biography

Unlike Carmen, Seymour and Charlotte, Janice and her siblings were born on a deliberate effort by Lysander as part of his attempts to further his mechanical abilities, her DNA samples coming from his family members. Because of this, the triplets were given much more immediate acceptation into the community and team. Despite technically being of the Wallace family bloodline, the triplets were placed under the legal guardianship of the Leonold family, becoming official cousins in this arrangement. Much like with Carmen, Seymour and Charlotte, Tom and Lysander elected to hold off on giving them identifying features until they properly developed as individuals. As such, they were only referred to by their wheel configurations. Janice was later named for her similarities to James, and was later given her current labels, though at her request she had them based off of Percy's, the tank engine having struck a kinship with her. After Selena chose to retire from active service, Janice replaced her as the user of Mystic Riser 6, and as the alpha of the Mystic Risers.

## Personality

Although she has a tender, Janice's personality is much more like that of a typical tank engine; she is very playful and energetic, and enjoys pulling pranks on her older peers. This means that she is more than able to get along with her cousins, though she is particularly close to Carmen, her partner as part of the Verglas Dragon Neo-Fusion, both of them bonding as colleagues and alphas.

While Janice did find some of James's antics amusing, his subtle but lingering arrogance from his youth drove her off. Because of this, and her fascination with package delivery, she was much closer to Percy, the saddle tank's own cheekiness synchronizing with her own. Like her siblings and cousins, Janice is fiercely protective of her family and friends, and is willing to kill when appropriately prompted. Much like Tom and Carmen, she has a small sadistic streak, though she sits firmly in between the two in intensity.

## Appearance

Janice is based on a 2-4-0 tender engine built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the now-defunct Rahway Valley Railroad, specifically the locomotive bearing the number 6. She has numerous modifications in comparison to the real design, in that she has a different set of coupling rods and cylinders, she has a different boiler design with a dome, safety valve and whistle setup, her cab, tender and frames are different, she is set much lower on her chassis than the real locomotive and she has buffers and chain couplings instead of the cowcatcher and permanent knuckle couplers on the real locomotive.

Much like Tom and Carmen, Janice has a pair of fang-like canines on her upper row of teeth. She also has complete heterochromia; her left eye is purple, while her right eye is yellow, which she shares with her siblings. While her eyes retain these colors under normal circumstances, Janice at her angriest will instead sport "Killer Eyes"; her pupils become purple, her irises become all black, and her scleras turn yellow with red bloodshot veins. Unlike her default eyes, the "Killer Eyes" affect both of her eyes in the same way, making her eyes symmetrical.

When she was born, Janice was painted a plain grey with a red bufferbeam and footplate and silver coupling rods. After receiving her name, she was painted charcoal black with silver lining surrounding colored panels, painted in a dark purple. Her footplate and wheels are also painted black, while her coupling rods are now red. Her lamp is painted white, while the NWR lettering on the side of her tender is painted red over a blue drop shadow. She has silver nameplates in the center of her boiler, while her number is painted on the side of her cab in blue with red trim.

## Mech

Janice's Guardian of Nature mech is the exact same one used by Selena, though it was overhauled as part of the transfer.

## Notes

* Much like her siblings, Janice's colors and number are references to *Kamen Rider Hibiki*, the former representing the main three Riders and the latter representing the series' numerical statistic within the franchise. In Janice's case, her purple, red and blue colors evoke the titular Kamen Rider Hibiki, while her number represents the series' status as the 6th *Kamen Rider* television series of the Heisei era. It is also the same number worn by her basis and Percy.
