Jane Ardant

## Personality

Jane Ardant is a Witch who has a deep passion for magic and spells and experimentation. But this causes her to sometimes experiment with kidnapped subjects. She is wild and eccentric caring little what others think and has very low levels of empathy. She can be manipulative but she prefers to lay out all her plans out straight and never rely on brute strength. Some call her crazy and she would agree with them.

## Backstory

Jane was just a young Siobhauan when she discovered that she had magical abilities. However, Siobhluan are not born with magical abilities so they decided that she was possed by umbra and kicked her out of their village. Though she didn't realize it, her village had also kicked her out because they believed her to be the murderer of her father (who died in a mysterious death). Not having anything to her name, she went to Ashaqi and lived there with the assoti being welcomed by them but also being kept at a distance as her wild behaviors were sometimes too much for anyone to handle. Later Jane would go back to her old village and take it over with some of her friends making a council of three witches and converting the whole town into a darker and more magical place.

### Fiora Cornaro

Jane kidnapped Camila Cornaro's daughter Fiora Cornaro with celcia who was a former lover of Fiora. During the kidnapping Celcila wanted to force an early child birth from Fiora. But Jane had a turn of heart in the instant and gave Fiora a potion to get away. However Celcila was smarter and stopped Fiora from getting away and proceeded with the child birth. Eventually Jane convinced Celcila that Fiora should be allowed to go home to her family but on the condition that Fiora returned or else a posion would kill her. Jane during this time also had many emotions of love for Fiora and friendship thinking that they had a strong connection together since Fiora was suffering emotionally and Jane was "there for her". Fiora did come back but with her husband and a fellow accomplice who threatened Jane severely. But Jane escaped and only promised to give the antidote back if Fiora would go to the bar with her. Fiora did go to Lucina's bar and the two actually had a better time than expected with Lucina convincing Jane to behave better and monitoring her behaviors. Both of them would later be called friends in Jane's mind.

### Bianca Cornaro

Jane proceeded to kidnap Bianca Cornaro in an attempt to make friends. Though Bianca was not happy about this she was forced to go along and this created a sense of rivalary but it also made Bianca become way more friendlier with Jane as well. During this time Jane tortured Bianca and recorded her screams on a record which she later played for Lucina, Bianca's fiance. This angered Lucina and she beat Jane into submission and an apology out of her which she hand wrote for Fiora and Bianca. During Bianca's kidnapping she also forced Bianca a scribe to write down and read several things to the otherwise almost illiterate Jane. Bianca's kidnapping finally ended with Camila coming to fight Jane. Camila lost and lost the trinity of light sword but it gave enough time for Bianca to escape.

### Hui

Jane's relations with Yanay had been very good with Yanay believing Jane was a little crazy but still alright. But this changed when Jane tried to friend Yanay's daughter Hui. Jane was trying her first time to not kidnap someone to be her friend just like Lucina told her to do. But Hui was too shy and refused all advances of friend ship. This made Jane burn down Hui's house. That lead Yanay to make a summoning for Jane. However, Jane tried to convince Yanay Hui was insane and burned down her own house because she hated it and talked to her bird. Jane being extremely manipulating also had the advantage of bribing witnesses and using the trinity of light's sword, Yanay is a devote follower, she convinced Yanay not to send her to prison.

### Railway

This story can be found in the Rising of a Railway by Hiathinz. This forced work also made Jane decided it was time for her to change and began her redemption arc.
