Jane was the very convenient girlfriend of Gareth at Terminus. She was anywhere between the age of 22-27 around 5'5 and had naturally deep dark auburn red hair with dark gray eyes. She and her younger brothers James and Jimmy had only been with the Terminus group for a year and a half. Her brothers were barley driving age when the outbreak began.
Early on the Terminus group was managing to survive. There were teams that went out once a week to look for food in different location. However, on occasion the teams were followed back to Terminus by wandering groups that would come in and take all the food, tools, supplies, weapons women and children. Each time the Terminus survivors of the attack would have to pick up the pieces and start again.
During the rebuilding of the refuge times would become very lean. Smaller teams would leave to find food sometimes they would come back many times they didn't. While people waited at Terminus for more food they began to hallucinate and starve.
Mary, Gareth's mother started to speak of how in the animal world when there are periods of starvation and drought animals would consume their young in order to survive. She explained how animals had the ability to leave emotion out of their natural and instinctual need to survive. How the offspring would be unable to survive without their parent. Mother Nature has a way of ensuring the survival of her strongest and she has no need for her weakest. Animals are able to make the natural choice of consuming their offspring so that they can survive through a starvation period and once the animal is able to feed regularly they will reproduce again.
Mary's rationale was logical it made perfect sense to the survivors. But these were also survivors from the old civilized world that has since passed, an old world that would have repulsed at such acts of inhumanity. After a few days had gone by the Terminus survivors were so hungry they began to find Mary's reasoning acceptable. So Mary declared that the youngest survivors should be the first to be sacrificed for the greater good.
This new ideology sent Jane is to a frantic state simply because her brothers were gradually becoming men but were not full grown as of yet and the adult men left in the Terminus group wanted the brothers to fight them that way the adults could avoid the feelings of guilt when it came to killing and eating them.
From the first time Gareth saw Jane he was enamored with her hypnotic gray eyes and pale skin. Once Jane knew her brothers could be next on the menu block she immediately sprang in to action with stroking of Gareth's ego. Within a week she became familiar with conventional and "unconventional" ways of persuading Gareth to do what she wanted. Still Gareth was still very much controlled by his mother. But the only thing that Gareth wanted more than food and water was Jane. And in order to have her he had to keep Mary from killing James and Jimmy.
Still, in many ways Jane along with her brothers managed to benefit from Jane's sexual sacrifices. When the group would run low on food Jane would lure various wanderers to Terminus especially if they had children. After a while Jane became haunted by the actions of Gareth and Mary, their ridiculous need for ritual before sacrificing the young. Afterwards, instead of luring families and strangers to Terminus she began to warn them and insisted that they warn others who may cross their paths.
However, Jane was finally caught trying to help 3 sisters under the age of 12 get away from Terminus. As a punishment Mary insisted that Jane either watch the killing of the 3 sisters or her brothers would take their place. Not wanting her brothers to die she stood watch as the young girls were gagged. Jane closed her eyes during the butchery of the sisters but she could still hear their cries and screams. Jane would never be the same again.
Months later as the Terminus survivors became accustomed to this new way of life, Jane became pregnant with Gareth's baby. She tried to avoid eating as much as possible in hopes of a miscarriage but within 8 weeks it was easy to see from her emaciated body that she was carrying. She had desperately tried to only eat sunflowers seeds and pecans but Mary insisted that she eat meat. So Gareth along with other men and woman would hold her down and making her eat food from the grill.
As the end of her pregnancy grew near there was another shortage of food. Weeks began to go by and still no one was coming to Terminus looking for sanctuary. By the time Jane delivered people were once again starving. But for a little while Jane had experienced something that she had long forgotten happiness. Jane gave birth to a 6 pound baby girl. The survivors of course ate the remnants of the birth but not the baby. The only way for Jane to feed the baby was through breast milk. But breast mild could only be produced if she was able to eat something.
One early morning Gareth decided to babysit. Jane had an extremely hard night with the baby her milk production was weak and was not providing the baby with enough nutrients. The baby cried most nights because of this. One time the cries were so loud it actually attracted some roaming walkers in to Terminus kill three of its original survivors. As you could imagine this was unacceptable to the survivors especially Mary.
Grateful that Gareth would be willing to babysit while she took a nap she would have never guessed that that would be the last time she would hold her baby in her arms again. Hours later when Jane woke up she heard a deafening silence. She got dressed and walked in to the mess hall…
