**Jane** is a main character in the movie series, *Descendants*. She is the daughter of the Fairy Godmother from Disney's *Cinderella*, and is known to be shy and insecure, but is fascinated with magic, even if her mother doesn't let her use it. She is portrayed by Brenna D'Amico.

## Background Information

### Personality

Jane is initially shy, demure, and fearful of the VKs. She wants to live up to her mother's name and even tried to take her wand to learn to use magic. She dislikes being punished and enjoys looking pretty. She was shown to severely lack self-confidence, as shown by her desperation to look good and be accepted by others (to the point of insulting Mal). She eventually grows to become friends with the VKs and learns it is not about how a person looks as much as what they are inside.

However, in *Wicked World*, she still held distrust of the VKs as she suspected Mal of stealing her mascot uniform (when it was actually CJ who framed Mal) Mal told her she didn't take her mascot uniform and that she's sure it will show up soon. Jane then decides that maybe she's right. She is otherwise kind to those around her. When she learns that she can in fact use magic in Wicked World, she is initially fearful of using her magic but grew in confidence as she used it more often, especially since her friends supported her (and Mal who is proficient in magic complimented her).

As of *Descendants 2*, Jane's personality has changed considerably. She is very outgoing and has a much happier demeanor, making her rather easy to befriend. Jane is also unafraid to take control, as she was seen dishing out orders as a member of the Cotillion's decorating committee. She has also demonstrated a rebellious side, albeit a small one. This is shown when she was clearly disgusted when Lonnie was not accepted as a member of the fencing team and disagreed with Ben's decision to pick Uma over Mal, even trying to sabotage his "relationship" with the former by displaying Ben's gift for Mal.

Despite her newfound confidence, Jane still tends to fret or get easily frustrated, especially when things don't go as planned. She can also be very clueless at times, such as not being able to notice Carlos trying to ask her out, with him even having to explain to her several times before finally getting her to comprehend the situation.

As for her attitude towards the VKs, Jane is now more relaxed around them, sometimes to the point of extreme friendliness (especially with Carlos, whom she later starts a relationship with). Mal is no exception, although Jane is still slightly wary of her, as she does not like to bother her.

### Physical Appearance

Although she doesn't know this, Jane is actually very beautiful. She dresses in old fashioned style dresses just like her mother. She had shoulder-length brown hair but then it became longer after Mal spelled it. In the *Wicked World* shorts, she has long brown hair with red highlights. She usually has an up-do and some of her hair falls onto her forehead. Her signature outfit consists of a ruffled blue dress with a pink bow in the center.

### Powers and Abilities

It is revealed that due to her mother being one of the most powerful magic users to live, Jane has the ability to do magic, but she is not very good at it.

* **Magic:** Jane has the ability to do magic and cast spells, which manifest as blue energy.

## Roles

### Printed Material

#### *Return to the Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel*

### Films

#### *Descendants*

Taught to never stray from goodness, she is fearful of the villain kids and particularly wary of their forbidden magic, but a special spell from Mal changes her outlook. Mal convinces Jane that her mother's magic wand would be able to change her looks, even changes her hair with magic to entice her further.

However, her outlook was changed after she made mean comments to Mal to make Audrey and her friends laugh, causing Mal to undo her magic on Jane.

Jane steals the wand during Ben's coronation and attempts to use magic to change her looks again, but she accidentally destroyed the barrier around the Isle of the Lost. After the incident, Jane's self-confidence is restored by Mal, who tells her all the positive things she thinks of her. She is last seen at Auradon Prep; initially sitting alone in the midst of the crowd, Carlos and Jay take her up to join the others in the dance number, "Set It Off".

#### *Descendants 2*

Jane has outgrown her insecurities and fear of the villain kids and has taken on the responsibility of planning the annual Royal Cotillion at Auradon Prep. She never really had a date before so when Carlos De Vil asked her out she had no clue what he was saying.

#### *Descendants 3*

Jane returns in Descendants 3 where its her birthday. She hosts it at The Enchanted Lake unaware Audrey turned evil untill she showed up making everybody fall asleep with Maleficent's Staff. When Jane starts worrying maybe somethings going on with Carlos since he isn't showing up, Chad rudely remarks that maybe he forgot. Jane and Carlos are later reunited when they find Beasty Ben in the forest and Harry starts flirting with her. Carlos gives Jane her birthday present which is a necklace that says "Jarlos" (Jane and Carlos) and have a little pink bow in it.

### *Descendants: Wicked World*

## Trivia

* Jane, Mal, Jay, Evie, Carlos, and Ben are the only characters to appear in every instalment of the Descendants franchise.
	+ She is also one of the twelve characters (Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Doug, Chad, Belle, Beast, Fairy Godmother, and Dude) to appear in all three Descendants movies.
* She's shown with long hair with red highlights in her dolls merchandise and *Wicked World* appearances, which probably means Mal may have spelled her hair again. Although it's possible her hair could've just simply grown on its own.
* In the animated short, "Audrey's New Do? New Don't!", Jane uses her own magic for the first time.
	+ It is also revealed that she never knew she possessed magic, and as well showed that she has very little experience in using it.
* Jane and Mal are both fairies.
* At the time of the film, she is 14 years old.
* In the third book *Rise of the Isle of the Lost*, Carlos encourages Jane to try out for Cheerleading.
* The book *Freddie's Shadow Cards* indicates that she is a member of the alto's in the Auradon Acapella group.
* It's implied her hair wasn't always short because, at the coronation, Snow White made a comment about what was going on with her hair.

* In the book, “The Magic of Friendship” from Descendants 3 , Jane writes how before the cotillion she prepared the invitations and gifts for the guests with Carlos to lighten it up a bit more, because that same night it was the cotillion and Carlos already admitted his loving feelings towards her. However, she does not count how that day something arose that she would not expect, her first love kiss.

* Her name doesn't start with the same letter as Fairy Godmother since her father is unknown however due to her neutral appearance and behaviour and her inability to do magic in the films, her name could refer to the phrase "Plain Jane" which in one case means to be moderately attractive and have stable mentality. Another meaning that she's just an ordinary girl given her appearance doesn't stand out compared to some of the outfits worn by the main four VKs who appear more bold and wild

* Even though she appears in the song "Set it off" the Jane there is not played by Brenna D'Amico this is due to the fact that Brenna was underaged at the time alongside Cameron Boyce and could not do the night scene with Brenna being 17 and Cameron being 16 at the time
