Jane Lane is a fictional character who appeared regularly on the MTV cartoon show Daria, voiced by Wendy Hoopes.
In the show, she was main character Daria Morgendorffer's best friend and as of the show's final season was aged 18 years. She lived at 111 Howard Drive in Lawndale, and graduated from the local high school, Lawndale High. She is an aspiring artist and has created many unusual paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Unlike most other characters, Jane's bottom teeth are shown when she is talking as opposed to the upper ones. She is mostly seen wearing a red jacket, a black T-shirt, grey skater shorts, black tights and combat boots.
Early history about Jane's life that was revealed during the show is scarce, but there are a few facts that were confirmed by the character herself. She was, in her prepubescent years, a member of the Girl Scouts, during which time she was forced to attend a nature camping event, a memory she detests. This was revealed in Episode #402 "Antisocial Climbers".
Other camping events Jane has partaken in include Mr O'Neill's overnight field trip to local woodlands (as depicted in Episode #402) and a summer vacation to the Ashfield Artists' Colony (as depicted in the Daria telemovie, Is It Fall Yet?). Despite these infrequent occasions, Jane remains adamant that she does not enjoy camping in any sense of the word.
Jane had her first serious romantic relationship at the age of 17 with Tom Sloane, the son of a wealthy local family and then a student of Fielding Preparatory Academy. The relationship ended almost one year later with a marked deterioration marked by increasingly frequent fights where she was typically in the wrong. As Tom and Daria's relationship conversely grew stronger, this sparked a paranoid jealousy in Jane who felt increasingly threatened by this development. That ill feeling came to a climax when she persuaded a most reluctant Daria to help her in a hair dyeing experiment that ended disastrously. At this, Jane irrationally accused Daria of deliberately causing the incident to take away Tom. Eventually with the following development of Tom kissing Daria, Tom and Jane agreed the relationship had run its course. Jane and Tom remain casual friends.
