She doesn't like to be called " Jane the Killer ", viewing the title as an insult to be compared to Jeff. She hates the name. Thinks it's silly, stupid, and unoriginal, and she will react harshly to people who regard her by that moniker. She's taken up the identity of Jane Doe in her crusade against Jeff, having left her surname behind the night he ruined her life.

Jane is obsessed with finding Jeff. She will stop at nothing to hunt him down and make him pay for all the trauma she had to endure because of him. Her singular hatred of him alone has fueled morally questionable choices she's had to make before and after her recovery.

Her first kill was a man named Eric Perez, a lowlife who got off breaking into residences late at night while the occupants slept... until one windy autumn evening he chose the wrong condo to rob. Jane had returned home to find the petty thief assaulting her roommate, then her. The ensuing scuffle led to his fatal stabbing. At first, after the heat of the moment died down and the adrenaline left her veins, Jane was shocked by her own actions, but slowly came to the terrible revelation that the killing felt good. Eric Perez was just another Jeffrey Woods. And it was the smiling killer's face who she imagined as she gutted her prey.

Jane went on to become known by local media as the Lipstick Killer. She operated all throughout Southern California in the early 2000's. Her victims were usually criminals of the like: thugs, thieves, murderers, sex traffickers. They were often found dead with multiple stab wounds and a smile painted on their face in Red Satin Dior lipstick. County officials chalked it up to a " Jeff the Killer copycat ", dubbing her Jane the Killer. She was so efficient in making sure there was no evidence linking her to the crimes that law enforcement still have not been able to identify her. To the public she is just another copycat, but to Jeff her kills are a promise.

For a time, Jane worked as a barista in a wine bar called The Riddler. She was grateful to the owner, who looked past her hideous burn scars and gave her a chance when no one else would. Jane quite enjoyed her time tending the bar, clumsily learning the ropes, meeting new faces and trading stories with customers. The opportunity improved both her poor socializing skills and low self-esteem and helped her gradually come out of the shell that kept her safely tucked away. Regrettably, she left that job after moving to Los Angeles.

Jane used to resent her burn scars. Before the augmentation, she'd wear long-sleeved garments even in the sweltering heat and tended to avoid mirrors. Her disfigurement represented the part of her that she lost. No matter how much she tried to cover them up, everyone still kept staring. Part of the reason she left her hometown was because the people never let her forget that she was Jeff's victim. It caused Jane to grow increasingly embittered. Everyday was a struggle that she lost; losing more and more hope of having a normal life, until she was empty inside. She filled that newfound emptiness with more scorn, blaming Jeff for everything. She hated her scars. So, when the chance that her burns could potentially heal arose with the L-H Experiment, Jane took it without hesitation despite its high mortality rate. No cost was too steep.

The days and nights following the injection of serum L-H-5 were spent in such agony, she thought she was actually going to die. Intense migraines. Heart pains. Unending nerve pains. Dramatic shifts in blood pressure. Heatstroke. Hypothermia. Cold sweats. Seizures. Vertigo. The symptoms worsened the more her body tried to fight the invasive serum. Jane seldom slept or ate through the weeks it took for her body to adapt to L-H-5. Her resolve to get revenge against Jeff was the only thing that kept her going through the pain. She refused to die. This persistence led Jane to becoming the only known subject to survive the L-H Experiment.

L-H-5 killed all pigment in Jane's features, causing albinism. Jane's hair is naturally white, but she consistently dyes her roots black and keeps her hair well maintained, suggesting that she still hasn't come to terms with the loss of her hair and subsequent change upon its regrowth. Jane has a literal jet-black heart. Her arteries and veins are black. Her complexion is so fair that the darkened hue of her veins can be more prominently noticed through her skin. She might even bleed black too. Her sclera and corneas have also turned black giving her eyes a demonic appearance. She now wears dark sunglasses to shield them from the public eye. And, in rare instances, excess serum leak from her eyes. She has to keep tissues on hand.

It took a while for Jane to accept her transformation. Over time she even found herself admiring her new look. Still, sometimes she misses her peach colored skin, and hates that she more closely resembles Jeff. Some nights she finds herself questioning his intentions. That fateful night when he burned her alive, was he trying to make her be like him? Jane tries not to think about his intentions. It's easier to accept that he was just some lunatic who snapped and tried to kill her.

She still holds onto the porcelain mask Jeff gave her.

Although Jane supports the idea of The Mansion, her overall opinion of an alleged haven for cold-blooded murderers is hardly flattering. She trusts that the others behave themselves under the dominion of the Slenderman, but will only drop by to visit on special occasions. She won't stay for extended periods of time because she is aware of Slenderman's compulsion. Darker impulses are difficult to resist. When she does visit, her attention is geared toward checking in on The Mansion's more doleful inhabitants.

Jane possesses rudimentary medical knowledge thanks to her studies of medicine and botany when she was in school. While she has nowhere near the level of expertise of Nurse Ann or Eyeless Jack, she is capable of tending to minor injuries, making her a reliable person to come to if one wishes to avoid hospitals.

Alternatively, her knowledge of anatomy adds to her lethality.

Jane's favorite herb is called Belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade. Jane often imagines herself force feeding poison berries to Jeff until he keels over, but knows such a preposterous notion would never work, so she settles for crafting its extract into a nasty tincture which she uses to immobilize her targets.
