Hi! I am Janet Lynn Drake, but I prefer Jan or Jane!
It’s been a wild couple weeks! Not every day you wake up as a 43 year old and realizing you don’t remember the last 20 years!
Things I’ve learned so far:
I got married???
I have a son???
Assassins are involved???
I died????
Welp. I guess there’s a heck of a lot to learn, huh.
This is an rp blog for Janet Drake from DC Comics
Synopsis: Janet Drake has been dead for 4 years. She and her husband was kidnapped, ransomed and poisoned right when they were rescued. She did not survive. 4 years after her death she woke up in a pseudo hospital and quickly realized her need to escape. Now, she needs your help to puzzle back pieces of her life while sharing her own thoughts and feelings with you!
Ask questions! Help Miss Drake in solving some mysteries!
This is my first time making an rp blog so apologies in advance.
House Rules, General Questions, and a Masterlist ahead!

I probably won't respond to asks about shipping thoughts in general, sorry! (There will be an exploration about Jan and Jack’s marriage)
Masterlist
Hospital arc (the prologue)
Homeward arc (current arc)
Questions:
Who's Janet Drake?
The stepping stone in the rite of passage of becoming a hero. And yet, not enough to even be a fridged character.
A mother to a boy, but not a hero.
What is the interpretation for her character?
More canon aligned.
How did she die?
Same as canon!
What does she remember last????
She'd love to answer that question herself ;)
answered!
Does she remember death?
Kinda!
Almost!
Yeah!
AND why Jane/Jan?????
Bc the rest of the drakes have shortened nicknames. Theres a precedent and it should be FOLLOWED
Are you including OCs?
Yes. Because to be a full fledged character she needs to have outward influences from before she met Jack and before she had Tim. I want to make her more than just what’s written on her tombstone. She was once also a daughter, a sister, a hero (not in the dc way but more like in the normal way) and a friend. You can’t make her those things if she doesn’t have other people as well.
Where are we in the plot right now?
After escaping her captors, she, Owens, and Z are trying to make it back to Gotham without any of their previous contacts. Meaning theyre starting from the ground up. She has just learned of her death, her husband, and her son.
Bruh, why do this??????
Because Miss Drake deserves better 😭 bestie deserves an actual character and interests so I wanted to see what vibes with her. Also I'm more motivated to practice drawing if I have a reason in mind.
Yes, this is also to help me out in improving my art, haaaaaaaaa
On your graceful aging to 42 years young, I think you still have quite a bit of time to enact some of your plans. And because your son Timothy is the way he is, I think he would be overjoyed to interact with a version of his mother.
I guess there are other ways I can find to help my home.
It sounds like you're familiar with Tim <3. Do you know him?
omg HIIII! we can see you now! We were right, you are still pretty!
Still pretty?
Honey, just because I'm older doesn't mean that I thought I wasn't pretty. ;)
It felt more like... hm. Well,
Imagine you have this mug you use every morning. You drink coffee from it so often that you don’t even notice the stains cracks and faded colours that it has earned over time.
What if one morning, when you go to grab this mug, you’re given pause. The colors look new and as vibrant as the day you got, and the stains and cracks are gone. You know it’s yours, though. It still has the little bumps in the glaze from when it was fired.
That's how it felt sometimes... looking in the mirror.
I sent an rp ask a while ago and just realized that I never tagged myself in it. I am sobbing. ALSO: Your take on Janet is amazing and I love it. Definitely a very good one! I look forward to seeing more about her!
ANON I STILL DONT KNOW WHO UOU ARE P L EA SE I WANNA TAG YOU WHEN I RESPOND
Also,
Thank you so much. I was a little worried about how people thought about my take. I have a lot of thoughts on fridged characters and on Janet Drake. There’s a lot that was interesting to me when I was going through the panels she is referenced in.
Tbh, all this started because I wanted to write a fic but I don’t have the time to sit down and do it haha

I was curious about the "He's only 17" post. You're from Gotham, which was a mob city back in 2004 last you remember. It's gotten significantly more dangerous in the following 20 years, but still only? I would have thought that the mentality would be pride that he's made it to 17.
I am so so proud of him and so so grateful that he’s alive. But 17 is still just… a boy. He’s only 17. He’s only a boy. I want him to live until he is old. I want him to be in competition with past generations and beat their score in age. I want him to be safe. I don’t want to involve him, a 17 year old, in whatever quackery I’ve found myself in.
Damn. I hope Wayne kept out of the mobs. Or whatever replaced them.
Ooc: I just wanna say thank you to yall who posted rp asks!!
Please be patient with me, I want to respond and rp with yall, i just want her to get to a point where she can believe that you are alternate Tims first. Because in her state rn, she'd think the Tims are imposters.
But EPIC NEWS!! Soon, I'll have her responding to those asks with some art(as a thank you and a sorry, haha)!!!
you should totally see what the bats are up to now there are like 10 of them.
Oh!! My brother loved bats!! Although I’m concerned if there are now 10 species of them now….
He used to call red bats filthy traditionalists because they preferred to sleep in trees and brave the harsh Gotham weather instead of human structures. Those were his favourites!
You might be onto something with "dimensional entities". Well not really the entity part, but the dimensional part? I'm a person like you, but my words are reaching you through worlds, through universes, and your journal is what's connecting me (ALL of us) to you. It might be a gate way to the multiverse? And if that's the case, you might be meeting a lot more people from across universes
Well. It's definitely the journal.
It's reflecting my face back… does this mean you can you see me now?
We're humans, but we're on a higher narrative plane. Would you like elaboration?
... narrative plane??
What is this... the matrix?
So if you’re humans and people… and you’re not using your powers to interact with me, it must be this journal that has these strange and powerful capabilities.
I wonder what is it's limit in communication? Does it have any other capabilities? Hmm.
