Physical Description
Jane possesses the quality of being extremely mature for her age. Tall like her father, she stands higher than the average girl, but is still shorter compared to the average boy. Because of these features, Jane can be exceptionally clumsy, dropping and tripping over everything in sight, though still always having the ability to regain composure.
Although she is very thin and frail, she was naturally born with a muscular build throughout her lanky arms and legs. She has a very pale complexion, pink rosy cheeks, shell-pink lips, and pale lavender eyelids, resembling the presence of a delicate young lady rather than the tomboyish girl she is set out to be.
Her eyes are large and widely spaced, revealing the mysterious deep, brown color inside of them that draws in the gaze of an onlooker. Her nose is thin and her cheekbones are prominent, making her lips a bit too full for her slim jawline. As for her eyebrows, they are darker than her hair and are straighter than they are arched, curving beneath her heart-shaped forehead. Jane also has gently waving, chestnut-colored hair. It is usually straight, curling at the ends by a cause of traits from her mother.
Personality
Jane has always been a reclusive, quiet, insecure, but kind-hearted, compassionate person towards others. Having the absence of a mother in her life, Jane developed into a very mature person, especially for her age. She mostly prefers to spend her free time reading, especially classics, and sketching near the trees surrounding the outside of Pemberley.
Jane prefers to keep her thoughts and feelings to herself; therefore, she absolutely hates when someone tries to understand or comprehend her. Ironically, she demonstrates a good acting ability in hiding her feelings. She is also incredibly stubborn, which causes her to have a strong determination for certain things. She has a sarcastic sense of humor, especially when she becomes angry. Jane is also surprisingly brave and outgoing because of early incidents as a child, which helps her with the ability to block painful thoughts and memories out of her mind.
She also demonstrates the attribute of being witty and smart. Because of being bold and headstrong, she usually speaks her mind which can cause the upbringing of trouble. Jane is very strategic in everyday life, planning what she should do and what she should say. She is very close to her father, which reveals numerous passionate traits throughout her personality. But with the force of marriage he is bringing into the estate, Jane is rather skeptical of his decisions. She feels very strongly about her beliefs and will, causing her stick up for others along with herself if needed. Her past hardships have molded her into a bit of a rebellious girl, resulting in speculation from others of who she is and what she stands for.
Jane had always been the outspoken one. She was different from the rest of the girls her age; she was the girl who was always quick to come up with something more interesting to do. Everyone suspected the cause of her impudence was from her mother, who always chose to do something outside of the strict lines of British society.
She grew up a happy, carefree child. Her mother influenced her to do the things she wanted, rather than what someone else implied for her to do. Life was simple. She and her parents were very close, resulting in a joyous childhood. Everyday activities consisted of playing outside of the abbey with her younger sisters, visiting the nearby village, and simply observing her mother paint next to the glistening lake near the abbey.
But sickness began to fill the estate.
Struck with a rare illness, her mother lived day to day by resting in her bed throughout her family's lives. Her condition was worsening, and a shadow of death hung over Pemberley. Jane spent minutes, hours, even days holding her mother's hand, feeling her skin growing colder and colder. Finally, the life of Helen Branson had dwindled away.
Jane was mortified. Her innocence had been stolen from her. Soon, everyone went into mourning. Her father struggled to utter a word the days after his beloved wife had died. Life was never the same. Jane became a sullen, depressed child who now kept to herself.
But, as expected, life proceeded as it should. The girls grew, new faces visited, but a deep hole was left untended in their hearts. Jane continued to learn new things and find activities to do to occupy her thoughts, including sketching on the outskirts of the estate. She became a proper young lady, who inside was screaming. She defied everyone and everything inside of her head, but nevertheless, she was a doll who was controlled by the system of society. Jane Branson was ready for something new.
