Appearance

Jane Doe's physical appearance is primarily that of a human woman at first glance, but she possesses distinctive grey rat ears and a tail. This is because she belongs to the Thiren race, a humanoid species with animalistic characteristics. Thirens can have features like ears, tails, or even entire bodies covered in fur. They vary greatly, from those who appear almost human with only a few animal traits to those who are much more bestial.

Thiren Rat Traits

Jane Doe is a Thiren Rat, a specific type of Thiren that, as its name suggests, has rat-like characteristics. Her rat ears are set on the sides of her head, displaying a droopy, rounded, smooth shape, with a pinkish interior and a greyish exterior. Jane's rat tail is an extension of her spine; this tail is cylindrical, scaly, hairless, and greyish in color. The tail ends in a metallic triangular tip as an artificial modification, which Jane can activate to deploy sharp edges at will. When walking, Jane's tail sways behind her, but Jane also has a habit of wrapping it around her left leg when relaxed. Jane has great control over her tail, using it as an extension to manipulate objects or as a weapon in combat thanks to the sharp edges on its tip, wielding it like a stabbing blade.

Personality

Jane Doe is a highly intelligent and resourceful individual, a criminal behavior specialist with a "colorful" background as a Public Security consultant. Her specialty is the art of disguise, infiltration, and investigation, which allows her to seamlessly blend into nearly any scenario. This instruction in deception is not merely a professional skill but a habitual characteristic of her personality; she's a master mimic who can alter appearance and manner at will, causing many to wonder what her "real" self might be. She has a habit of giving different versions of her history, making it all but impossible to distinguish fact from fiction, a game she quite clearly relishes. This secrecy is inherent and further emphasized in the fact that her actual name is never divulged, the pseudonym being "Jane Doe" itself, implying a past so remarkable that it necessitated the complete erasure of her original identity.

Despite her somber profession, Jane possesses a very strong playful and teasing nature. She has a "bad habit" of trolling individuals and playing harmless pranks, typically involving sarcasm and feigned vulnerability, in order to elicit a reaction from people. Playful banter is common in her conversations, and she enjoys pushing buttons and observing people's reactions. She may playfully berate someone for having forgotten her, only to reveal that she had been waiting for a discount, or feign embarrassment when leered at, applauding herself out of character with a "just kidding." Underneath this playful act, however, there are usually sharper observations being made, as she easily intuits others' hidden qualities and possibilities.

Jane is a creature of the night, coming alive during the hours most other people sleep. She embraces night shifts, being "most alive after dark," and her work often takes her into strange and difficult situations, such as wading through sewers in pursuit of information. This dedication to her nocturnal pursuits is complete, even if it means sacrificing personal time. Yet, behind this ambitious exterior, she also lets on a more grounded personality, with simple joys like a bowl of noodles and even admitting to being a "hoarder" of junk food at home, which doubles as storage for her specialized tool set.

Her physicality is marked by a surprising grace and athleticism, calling to mind the figure skater. Her fighting moves are also fluid and dance-like, employing hidden blades in a way that is as beautiful as it is deadly. This backstory promises a disciplined upbringing, which contrasts with her current life, which seems free and adaptable.

In her interactions, particularly with the manager, Jane reveals aspects of surprising depth. Although initially transactional in nature, offering to help in exchange for "something "valuable", she quickly becomes more personal in nature. She is actually happy to be remembered, seeks out common activities like playing video games or flower arranging, and even indicates stronger sentiment, noticing how the scent of flowers reminds her of the manager. She can also become protective, not wanting the manager to perform unpleasant tasks, and is charmed by their concern. Jane adores intimacy and shared secrets, inviting the manager into her world with a whisper of conspiracy. She enjoys being in charge but also being supported, manifesting a delicate balance of independence and desire for companionship.

Jane Doe is a fascinating paradox: a public security specialist who enjoys rule-breaking, a master of disguise who occasionally exposes her own feelings, and a pragmatist who enjoys sentimental displays. She is a complexity study, constantly surprising expectations with her synthesis of sharp intellect, clever wit, and an underlying humanity that she opts to reveal only occasionally. She is a character in constant motion, constantly evolving, constantly one step ahead, and constantly leaving in her wake the indelible imprint of a fascinating and elusive personality.
