Janice Plante-Genet

"Stop arguing. That's stupid and it gives me a headache."

- what a lovely young princess

A very minor princess no one seems to care about (which she has mixed opinions on), Janice is supposed to fulfill the role of King John in the English legend and folklore of ''Robin Hood. ''

Personality
She's... not pleasant. Not one bit. If you ever attempt to engage conversation with Janice, she will likely respond with quick, snappy answers. The thing is... not many people actually seek her company. And for a very simple reason - they aren't aware that she even exists! Janice constantly gets overshadowed by her cousin (Richmond), who is apparently more talented, more nice, more... everything! Although she purposely avoids the subject, it's clear that she harbors a lot of resentment towards him. But then again, she actively avoids to talk about that.

From an external point of view, there's frankly not much else to say : she's slightly antipathetic, and adverse to conversation, as well as occasionally sarcastic. But on the inside, she's actually much more than that. Very bitter, yes, but also very attached to her comfort zone. Well... it'd be more exact to say that she got used to that "comfort zone". No one really did pay attention to her, so it was more of a "forced tranquility" - no one ever asks her anything! More often than not, she gets forgotten (she's never the one invited to parties, or anything). On one hand, it doesn't bother her because she is a natural loner, and on the other it makes her both annoyed and pretty sad, because she'd like to be acknowledged every now and then!

This has also led her to have a pretty low self esteem and a skewed view of her own relevance. (She thinks she's irrelevant and that her hopes of being really acknowledged are just wishful thinking.) Now of course, it's not like no one notices her when she's in the same room as someone, but her socializing skills are... rusty, to say the least. She has no idea how to actually maintain a compelling conversation and prefers to end it quickly instead of making things awkward.

She hides all that behind sarcasms and a certain pessimistic humour. If she ends up absolutely having to socialize (in group projects, for example), chances are she'll get sarcastic if the conversation gets too personal. She doesn't want to open up, really, and prefers to keep telling herself that really, she's fine being lonely! She's fine! She doesn't need friends, now does she?

(she does.) 

She also loathes conflicts, because she finds those very disruptive and ultimately pointless. If people she frequents often end up arguing, she'll try to solve the conflict because she wants to get back into her comfort zone.

She also loves to read -it's a calm and solitary hobby! She also likes to write, notably poems (although she never even would think of showing them to anyone). She actually really likes sappy romance novels, because it appeals to her (very) deep-hidden sweeter side.

Trivia

 * Before I went for Janice, she was supposed to be called Joan (because John/Joan)
 * Plante-Genet is derived from Plantagenet, the royal dynasty King John allegedly was the first to belong to.
 * she's part Indian
 * the fact that she doesn't get acknowledged is a parallel with the fact that the (historical) King John wasn't supposed to be King and was nicknamed Lackland (because he didn't have land, just as Janice doesn't have a proper "presence)
