Jane the killer, Jane Arkensaw or Jane Everlasting is a female character and antagonist, derived from the story of Jeff the Killer, originated thanks to the stories made by fans in the creepypastas. Some fandoms defend the existence of another Jane (surnamed Richardson).
This Jane Richardson is pointed out as the original version of the character and it is said that she was the one who served as the basis for the construction of the current Jane, which is better known today. As for her story, Jane was the Woods' neighbor when they moved to town..
She constantly used to observe the brothers until she became friends with both of them and started spending time with them. Although in the end Jane became a murderer in order to pursue Jeff in revenge, there are a number of different stories (and even inconsistencies) that place both characters as enemies and / or lovers.
The origin of Jane the Killer emerged as an alternate story to the main story of Jeff the Killer, as a way to create an antagonist who was as strong or stronger than him. However, there are two main versions of this character:
Due to Jane's sexual inclination, this character became one of the most well-known LGBTI symbols in this community..
He is also believed to have similar characteristics to the English murderer Jack the Ripper. In fact, she was originally going to be called Jane the Ripper..
Although the story remains more or less the same at certain points, there are a couple of accounts with a few differences.
Jane was a normal girl, about 13-14 years old, who was going through typical teenage problems. One day he noticed that the Woods had moved into the neighborhood; from this moment it became customary for her to constantly look at the siblings, especially Jeff.
Eventually, Jane became friends with Liu and Jeff, especially the latter, as she develops a certain attraction towards him. Thanks to the fact that he spies on them through the window of his room, he sees how they are both teased and mistreated by the school bullies.
It is at this point where the versions of Jeff the Killer and Jane the Killer converge, since they coincide in Jeff's attack on these thugs.
When the police went to investigate, Liu took the blame and the brothers' parents took it upon themselves to do everything possible to free their son and maintain a more or less normal life..
Jane observed what happened, but kept her distance until the barbecue (or celebration) was organized with all the neighbors. It was there that Jeff was attacked just as Jane was preparing to plead to Jeff.
The police tried to question Jane as a witness, but her parents prevented it in order to let their daughter rest..
After a few hours Jane felt guilty for not having done a major intervention; at that moment he heard several noises coming from a floor of his house. It turned out to be Jeff, who had just killed his parents. Shortly after, he threw bleach and gasoline on her to burn and disfigure her.
Upon learning of her condition, Jane left the hospital covered in bandages and with the aim of killing Jeff out of revenge..
Although it is not far from the previous story, it differs a bit in the development of events, especially since Jane is rather portrayed as a slightly more withdrawn person who was almost constantly watching Jeff.
Thanks to this, Jane observed Jeff's attack on one of the usual thugs. Despite not having said anything, he noticed the transformation of his neighbor's behavior, seeing that he seemed to have enjoyed hurting.
In this version, Jane's father is a policeman who apparently knows about Jeff's dark nature. That is why he forbids his daughter to be near the boy.
In the second version of the story, Jane was more active during Jeff's attack on the neighborhood barbecue, as she wanted to intervene. After a few days, even after Jeff left the hospital, Jane looked at her old friend turned into a completely different person than the one she had ever met..
In the end, Jeff kidnapped their parents and several acquaintances with the intention of killing them. Then, he threw bleach and gasoline to burn her and destroy her house.
During her recovery in the hospital, and after knowing how her appearance had been, the nurses left her a package with a mask, a knife and a note from Jeff the Killer that said: "I'm sorry you didn't look as beautiful as me.".
Jane managed to get out of the hospital to visit her parents in the cemetery and promise that she would get revenge for her family and Jeff's innocent victims..
