### Affiliation

Janes circus of irritating mongs, New Orleans Hunters Society

## Appearances

### Debut

The Prolouge (mentioned), Episode 1

Jane Ebert is the primary antagonist of Season 1, a secondary antagonist of Season 2, a member of the Hunter's Society and Morgan's self proclaimed "greatest rival". While not physically imposing, she is an expert in crafting scenarios which give her leverage over someone; a trait that she never discovered until she had to use it against Morgan.

## Biography

#### Late 2014

In the second half of 2014, Jane Ebert took Morgan's fish tank, presumably as revenge. In attempt to get it back, Morgan and John began to follow leads and start an increasingly destructive crusade against those suspected as having it. Jane finds out about this after the attack in Elizabeth, and she begins following her own leads to be able to stop them.

After a violent confrontation with Morgan, the fish is recovered but Jane manages to call the police . Morgan is placed in custody and Jane is finally safe from the impending threat.

#### 2015

Jane's parents have to move to New York for a job. Jane refuses to go, and insists that she would rather live alone. Despite this, they force her as they still have custody over her. She one day becomes infatuated with Morgan's cold case, and moved out to Louisiana to join a group of anti-Morgan hunters. This resulted in a primal battle in the middle of the woods

## Personality

Jane seems on the surface an average person, but becomes more and more unpleasant as you peel the layers back. She is the ringleader of a friend group that seems to believe themselves better than others, she takes advantage of innocent people to assist with her constant torment of Morgan, she treats a lot of her friends terribly, such as secretly despising Elizabeth but keeping her around as a human punchline, and ultimately tries to spin all that in her favour.

Some of these points, mainly roping them into a dangerous conflict, could be disputed however, as all her reactions to hearing what Morgan has done seem clearly shocked, as if she beforehand didn't fully know what Morgan was capable of. Also, despite her having some unkind intentions, she does seem a genuine friend to Elizabeth at first, as her mother seems to not only recognise but be glad to hear Jane.

Jane is seen to be a realist, as during her final argument, she berates Morgan for the preposterous idea that moving away and starting separate lives is "the only solution".

## Trivia

* The name Jade is used in some production notes, even though her name always was Jane. This is simply me forgetting her name.
* The surname Ebert was thought up when I was drawing the episode where it is first mentioned, as I didn't need to write it in anything official up to that point.
* Originally, the conflict with Jane and her friends was supposed to be the first arc of season 1, as opposed to the entire seasons conflict.
* The "detective plot" of post ending scenes surrounding Jane investigating Morgan's case were a decision made a few minutes before Chapter 1 was originally supposed to be released. They were introduced to humanise Jane's character, give her more prevalence as an antagonist, to allow Avery Mayles to appear more significantly in Season 1, and set up Elizabeth's flashbacks in Season 2 better.
