A Tale Of Two Janes
A common comment I see on YouTube videos concerning Jane the Killer isĀ āHow did being burned give Jane black eyes and white skinā? The answer to this question? The Jane who got burned is a different Jane than the Jane with black eyes and white skin.
Yes Virginia, there are 2 different Jane the Killers. Let me explain.
Back in 2012 someone called FearOfTheBlackWolf (then going by the name Mr.AngryDog) wrote a Jeff the Killer spin-off creepypasta calledĀ āJanes Letterā. This story was the first appearance of Jane Richardson aka Jane the Killer. Shortly after that someone called PastaStalker64 plagiarized FearOfTheBlackWolf with the creepypastaĀ āJane The Killer: The Real Storyā which is the more well known Jane Arkensaw/Jane Everlasting version where Jane gets burned by Jeff and wears a white mask.
FearOfTheBlackWolf and PastaStalker64 eventually came to an understanding and agreed that Jane the Killer and Jane Everlasting would simply exist as separate characters. Unfortunately Mr.Creepypasta narrated the PastaStalker64 story while using a picture of Jane Richardson as the background of the video thus leading to the 2 Janes being mixed up ever since.
Basically what Iām saying is if youāre drawing a Jane with black eyes and white skin thatās Jane Richardson aka Jane the Killer, not Jane Arkensaw aka Jane Everlasting. Hope this post clears things up! Thereās a lot of confusion around Jane.
Other things to know about the 2 Janes:
1: Jane Richardson has an origin story calledĀ āBorn of Science: The Birth of Jane the Killerā but thatās getting updated soon so Iāll give you a summary I copy and pasted off of the Creepypasta Universe Wiki:
āJane Richardson started off as your typical girl, the talk of the town whoās got it all ā a great girlfriend, a job she enjoys, excellent friends, a loving family, and a great future. But in 2002 her world changed when both of her parents, Paula and Bruce Richardson were murdered by Jeff the Killer. Flash forward to years later and Jane was chosen by the government, after 25 failed attempts (the test subjects died) to hopefully be the one person to survive an injection of a chemical called "Liquid Hateā. Jane, needing extra money to support her and her sister and believing that she was merely donating blood, agreed. Jane proved to be the first person to survive the injection and decided to use her newfound abilities to dedicate herself to taking the life of the man who ruined hers: Jeff the Killer. The Liquid Hate injection gave Jane black eyes and white skin as well as enhancing her strength, agility, senses, endurance, etc.ā
2: Jane Richardson is the Jane thatās canonically a lesbian with a wife named Mary. Jane Arkensaw has no canon sexuality as far as I know.
3: Jane Richardson is the Jane I use on my blog although Iāll occasionally reblog art of Jane Arkensaw.
