Jane Egbert (née Crocker)
Born: April 13th, 1910. Died: April 13th, 1996.
Jane Crocker was raised with her brother, Jake. Jane and Jake took after their deceased father, Colonel Sassacore and studied prankstery, jokery and japes. After Jake turned 13, he ran away with the family dog, Halley, on an adventure. Jake encouraged Jane to join him, but Jane was too afraid of her adoptive mother, Betty Crocker, to join him. Betty took to teaching her daughter all the skills of baking and pastry making, looming large over Jane.
On her 16th birthday, Jane brought up Jake and her mother revealed Jane and Jake's true origins, as adoptive siblings, who one day were to have two children that would save the world. Betty was determined to prevent this from occurring. Jane took up her baking lessons with fierce determination, hoping to one day dismantle the Betty Crocker corporate empire. Over the years, Jane learns more about Betty, including the fact that she is not human!
Right before Jane was to expose Betty in 1934, Betty Crocker disappeared. Her corporate empire was left to her eccentric adventurer son instead of her smothered daughter, although Jane inherited a generous sum of monies. Jane debated searching for her long-lost brother, but instead she began establishing herself in the entertainment scene as a comedian and drag king. Here, she became acquainted with Paula Egbert, a popular dancer and stage actress. Jane and Paula had a somewhat tumultuous on-and-off personal relationship between 1935 and 1941. Through Paula, Jane was introduced to Harry John in 1940, and shortly afterwards the two were married. Jane recognized it as a lavender marriage, but Jane and Harry John were still very close and affectionate with each other.
After marrying, Jane began to set up her store, Prankster's Gambit, establishing it in 1943. After having her store well established, Jane and Harry John welcomed their only child in 1954. Their son was raised in the store learning all the secrets of a good prankster.
