Jane is the first protagonist of the game and the character featured in most of its publicity.

### Backstory

Jane is American, and has been living in the San Francisco area in Los Angeles since she was 14. She appears to be in her early twenties and has a passion for art and painting. She's been in a relationship with a guy named Adam.

### Physical appearance

Jane is fair-skinned and has an hourglass body with wide hips. She has blue eyes and auburn hair, which she dyes several times throughout the story. She embodies an innocent image with the potential of switching to a more mature look, based on her big eyes and round face as well as her curvy body.

### Personality

Jane is rather introverted and insecure, evolving into a more confident and outward persona as the game progresses. The trigger to begin her self-discovery journey was breaking up with Adam after he cheated on her, expressing that he wanted her to dress plainly and that led her to be experimental. Emma describes her as "brave and nice".

Jane's artistic side is mostly pertinent to her paintings, but her good sense of style does not go unnoticed by other characters.

## Story

#### Jane's POV

   Jane's story begins when she comes back from a trip to pay an early visit to her boyfriend, Adam. After finding out that he's cheated on her with a woman named Kate, Jane vows to seek revenge by focusing on herself and her image. Later on, she attends a party where she meets Alex, and they click off immediately. After a few dates, Alex gifts her a painting from their first date and they begin dating, with Jane swearing off Adam for good.

#### Emma's POV

Jane's story ends with the introduction of Emma, Alex's cousin. Jane encourages Emma to find a job and leave a more independent life, and reappears at the end of Emma's story to celebrate her achievements and help her husband apologize to her.

#### Alex's POV

After months of dating, Jane reveals to Alex that she's gotten accepted into a prestigious art school located in Paris, France. Devastated to go, they decide to part ways and Jane moves to Paris to pursue her dream career.

#### Jane's POV

Back in Jane's POV, she accommodates to life in France egged on by her new roommate Camille, who introduces her to Wiley during a party. Although Wiley shows interest in her, Jane avoids his advances and later reveals to Camille that she isn't over Alex yet. Seeing this, Camille decides to text Alex through Janet's phone, which causes him to fly to Paris only to discover that Jane has opened up to Wiley instead.

#### Willey's POV

A year later, Jane and Wiley have been dating for six months and are enjoying life together in Paris. This changes when Wiley becomes Hassan's agent, which leads them to move to Barcelona, Spain to accommodate to his job. In Barcelona, Jane meets Zahra and they become good friends.

In the last day of Zahra's visit to Barcelona, she orchestrates a surprise proposal with Wiley, and Jane enthusiastically agrees to become Wiley's fiancée.

#### Jane's POV

Jane has found success with her art career in Barcelona and is organizing a public exhibition of her work. In the meantime, Freddie meets up with her and tells her about Alex, which brings back memories about her and lead her to become conflicted about her current relationship. She decides to change her main piece and replace it with the painting Alex gifted her at the beginning of their relationship.

During the exhibition, Jane reveals to Camille that she and Wiley have broken up. Later on, Alex is tricked into visiting Jane's exhibition, and they immediately get back together.
