**Lady Jane Phoenix** is the niece of Lord Sigmund Phoenix and the mother of James Solberg. She is a major character in *Wars of Frozen Flames*, debuting in the first part, "The Feeble King". Jane was married to Lord Edrick Solberg until his death in a riding accident, so she is later remarried to Sir Korrin Sylver. Nine months prior to Edrick's death, she laid the egg from which their son James would hatch. James' egg damaged her reproductive organs when she laid it, resulting in her not being able to give birth anymore. She is also a sister-in-law to Sir Rodrick and Sir Theodrick Solberg, as well as the half-sister in-law of King John Koopa VI and the cousin of Sir Blayne Phoenix. At the start of the series, Jane is portrayed as a meek and powerless widow, but as time goes on, she gradually starts gaining confidence and the political power necessary for the sake of James' future. She is based on Lady Margaret Beaufort.

## History

### Backstory

Jane was born in the year 1461 as the only child of Lord James Phoenix. Not much else is known about Jane's past, but Jane mentioned to her uncle Sigmund that her father died in captivity to set him free when she was a child, which caused Jane to be separated from her mother after she remarried, as the law of the time stated that widowed women had to give away any children they had to someone at the service of the crown upon remarriage. Because Jane's father had no sons, and because females were not able to inherit land or titles at the time, her uncle Sigmund became the new head of House Phoenix

At some point, Lady Jane was meant to be married off to John De La Korde, the son of Alfred De La Korde, but around this time she met Lord Edrick Solberg and the two began a secret relationship. According to Lily Python, the king's chamberlain found them having an intimate moment in the throne room, which subsequently led to the annulation of her engagement with John and to her marriage with Edrick. John De La Korde was instead married off to Lady Olivia Koopa, daughter of Lord Richard Koopa.

A few years later, Jane had gotten pregnant with Edrick's child and laid an egg not long after. Unfortunately, Edrick died in an accident after riding his mustie drunk and falling off of it, leaving Jane a widow and their unhatched child without a father. Jane was only fourteen years old when she got pregnant and became a widow.

### The Feeble King

#### Part I

Jane's child hatches from his egg, being a son whom she names James, after her father. Her brother in-law Rodrick Solberg appears to meet his nephew for the first time and is greatly impressed with the child, going as far as to claim that he has the eyes of a king. The bishop informs the two that the egg James was in damaged Jane's reproductive system when she laid it and rendered her sterile as a result, meaning that she will never be able to have children ever again. Jane worries for her child but Rodrick promises that he will make sure that her child will live a long and successful life.

A few days later, Jane brings James to the Koopa Castle so that King John Koopa VI can meet him, though not without coming across her cousin Blayne at first, who insults her child and mocks her over her husband's death. John is greatly impressed with the child, but Cynder and Sigmund interrupt the moment and remind Jane that because she is now a widow with a child, she is not allowed to keep James once she remarries, as is stated by law, and if she does not remarry, she will end up having no financial support because, in Cynder's words, "she's a woman in the 15th century". Jane begs the Queen and her uncle to not separate her from James, but her pleas are ignored. Jane goes back to her home and starts crying because she doesn't want to leave James and she doesn't want to give him to either Sigmund or Blayne, as she's afraid that they might try to hurt him. Rodrick then tells her to calm down, and offers to raise James and look a new husband for Jane, which he finds in Korrin Sylver. Rodrick tells Korrin to try and convince his father of getting the two of them married, which his father accepts.

Jane also attends the Loveday feast organized by Queen Cynder, where she meets and befriends Rose Python.

#### Part II

At the beginning of part II of "The Feeble King", Jane is shown concerned over King John having suffered a mental breakdown. Rodrick then tells her that the cause of John's condition is "Bohnenkraut Madness", a mental illness that has been affecting the Von Speckbohne family for many years, to which Jane hopes he makes a full recovery.

Later on in the episode, Jane and Korrin share a joint wedding with Korrin's brother Harrin and Jane's cousin, also named Jane. Jane is not enthusiastic about the wedding at first, especially since she will have to leave James under the care of Rodrick after the ceremony is over, but things start changing when Korrin shows genuine concern for Jane, sympathizing with her over not being able to keep James and promising to go and visit him as much as they can. Jane and Korrin start to slowly develop a bond, and are seen together in many other instances throughout the episode, showing that their marriage is off to a good start.

#### Part III

At the start of part III, Jane is enjoying an afternoon with Rose, watching as Korrin trains to become a knight. Right in that moment, Sir Jorgon Python arrives and tells Rose to pack her things and accompany him, as they have to leave for Sherbet Land as per Rose's father Berwick's orders. Jane, concerned for Rose, tries to ask Jorgon what is happening, but Jorgon refuses to explain the situation to Jane, being overly aggressive with her in the process. Korrin tries to comfort Jane about this, assuring her that Rose will be okay.

Sometime after this, Jane and Korrin come across the former's brothers in-law Rodrick and Theodrick, expressing relief over them being okay after their confrontation with Lord Richard Koopa. The four discuss the events that had unfolded, and Jane concludes that following his escape, Lord Richard will return to the valley with an army. The group is then interrupted by a Parakarry, who informs them of King John Koopa VI announcing a Great Council meeting for the following day. After this announcement, Jane lets her husband and brothers in-law that war is inevitable.

The following day, Jane attends the Council Meeting alongside many other nobles in which King John declares Lord Richard a traitor. When pondering over what should be done, and angry at Lord Horace Sylver making a statement irrelevant to the discussion, Jane lets King John VI know that Lord Richard most likely will not return to the Valley by himself, but with an army. Horace is quick to scold his daughter in-law for talking to the king in an unappealing manner, but Lord Siebold backs up Jane's claim, with causes Horace to quickly praise it, much to Queen Cynder's disgust. Lord Sigmund then tells his niece not to worry, as they will answer Lord Richard back with an army of their own.

Later on during the night, Korrin is granted knighthood, with Jane being very proud of him. Despite the upcoming battle, Jane decides to stay at the Koopa Castle, as she must be in Bright Valley in order to protect her son James' claim to the throne, especially if something were to happen to King John VI. Korrin tries to assure Jane that everything will work out fine, but Jane feels doubtful about that.

## Appearance

Jane is a female dragon Koopa with dark yellow skin, an orange head and a pale yellow snout. She has orange hair that reaches her shoulders and light blue eyes. She wears an orange shell with yellow spikes, red lipstick, an orange necklace on her neck, an orange bracelet on each arm, and brown high-heeled shoes. Her nails are also painted orange.

## Personality

Jane is shown to be a loving and caring person, especially to her son James. She is very protective of him and refuses to leave him under the care of Sigmund or Blayne under the belief that they might do something to hurt him. Outside of this, she is shown to be rather insecure, mainly because of the treatment she receives from people like Cynder, Blayne, Sigmund and Lily. Jane is also shown gaining more political power and confidence in herself throughout the course of the series, as shown by her being determinant to ensure that James has a future in the kingdom, or not being scared to point out inconsistencies in other people's reasonings or give out advice in the war.

Jane is presented as someone who is loyal to those close to her, mainly Rodrick and Korrin, the former being her brother in-law who has always look out for her ever since Edrick died, and the latter being her second husband, who treats her wonderfully and promises her that they will visit James as much as they can. It should also be noted that Jane was a bit hesitant about her marriage with Korrin at first, but she opened up to him the moment the two got to properly get to know each other better.
