Jane is a major character of the Descendants franchise. She is the daughter of the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella, and is known to be shy and very insecure, but is fascinated with magic, even if her mother doesn't let her use it.
Appearances[]
Descendants[]
Taught to never stray from goodness, she is fearful of the villain kids and particularly wary of their forbidden magic, but a special spell from Mal changes her outlook. Mal convinces Jane that her mother's magic wand would be able to change her looks, even changes her hair with magic to entice her further.
However, her outlook was changed after she made mean comments to Mal to make Audrey and her friends laugh, causing Mal to undo her magic on Jane.
Jane steals the wand during Ben's coronation and attempts to use magic to change her looks again, accidentally destroying the barrier around the Isle of the Lost. After the incident, Jane's self-confidence is restored by Mal, who tells her all the positive things she thinks of her. She is last seen at Auradon Prep; initially sitting alone in the midst of the crowd, Carlos De Vil and Jay take her up to join the others in the dance number, Set It Off.
Descendants 2[]
Jane has outgrown her insecurities and fear of the villain kids and has taken on the responsibility of planning the annual Royal Cotillion at Auradon. Even though she means well, the planning can get a bit intense. Especially when she’s talking to an already stressed Mal, whose eyes turned green when she was getting frustrated with Jane. Near the end of the movie, Carlos asks her to be his date for Cotillion. This works out perfectly because it’s revealed that she thinks he’s nice and cute, and tells him that she is the luckiest girl in the world. Carlos even offers to be more than friends after Cotillion, which Jane is ecstatic about.
Descendants: Wicked World[]
Jane returns in the animated short series Descendants: Wicked World, voiced by Brenna D'Amico who also portrayed her in the live-action film. She later discovers she can cast magic spells, which amazes and intimidates her at the same time. Her first attempts at spells didn’t turn out well, the first of which gave Audrey a horrible hairdo! In time, she seemingly improves her skills, now able to summon a vehicle with a spell.

Trivia[]
- Although Jane has neck-length brown hair in the film, her dolls and Wicked World appearance depict her hair long with red highlights.
- In the doll merchandise and animated shorts, Jane has long light brown hair with pink streaks.
- This also contradicts the second novel, where it's mentioned her hair is still the same.
- In Descendants: Wicked World, she kept her long hair with red highlights for the dolls line.
- However, as of Descendants 2, Jane's hair is no longer neck length, as it is slightly longer, which probably means Mal may have spelled her hair again or her hair could've just simply grown on its own.
- In As Told by Emoji adaptation, however, she has her original hairstyle.
- In the animated short, "Audrey's New Do? New Don't!", Jane uses her own magic for the first time.
- It is also revealed that she never knew she possessed magic, and as well showed that she has little experience in using it.
- In Return to the Isle of the Lost, Carlos seems to have a crush on her.
