Crazy Jane - Personalities

Personalities

Crazy Jane's personalities are organized in a mental subway grid called the Underground. Each personality has its own 'station', which appears to serve as home when they are not in control. In the lower section of the Underground is a well where the personalities can go to destroy themselves. This is where Miranda was killed. The Well houses the Daddy persona of Jane's mind.

A number of Jane's alters are named after Sylvia Plath poems. Other sources of names are song titles by R.E.M., Incredible String Band, The Jam and Siouxsie and the Banshees. The name "Crazy Jane" is taken from a Richard Dadd painting, which itself referenced the Crazy Jane poems of William Butler Yeats.

• Crazy Jane: The dominant personality. No powers. Her name is derived from that of a character in several poems by Yeats.
• K-5: The original Kay Challis, who vanished at age 5. She is "sleeping" in one of the lower stations of the Underground.
• Miranda: The former dominant personality; she destroys herself after the church incident. Her "station" is now occupied by some indescribable horror, visible from a distance only as a weird light, which only Driver 8 can see without being destroyed by the vision (she covers Cliff's eyes as they pass through this area).
• Liza Radley: A normal personality, awakened as a result of a loving environment, who pushes Jane to recovery. The other personalities are unsure of how to react to Liza and feel threatened by her. She is named after a song by The Jam, the B-side of their single "Start!"
• Daddy: An impression of Jane's father as a giant monster made of insects, excrement and puzzle pieces. Daddy talks with Jane's voice. It was destroyed.
• Driver 8: Conductor of the Underground subway, named after the R.E.M. song. The Driver's hat has an infinity symbol (a sideways "8") on it.
• Black Annis: An aggressive misandrist, equipped with sharp claws, red eyes, and blue skin.
• Baby Doll: A childlike personality that believes everything is lovely.
• Scarlet Harlot: A nymphomanic with the power to create ectoplasm projections and absorb stray psychosexual energy.
  • Baby Harlot: An integration of Baby Doll and Scarlet Harlot.
• Penny Farthing: She speaks with a stutter. A Penny Farthing is the English name for the early bicycles that had different-sized wheels.
• The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter: An artist with the power to psychically activate her paintings; whose name is taken from the title of an album by the Incredible String Band.
• Rain Brain: She speaks in a stream of consciousness and can take on an abstract immaterial form.
• Flit: She can teleport anywhere. Dresses in late 80s fashion.
• Mama Pentecost: An expert enigma and cryptogram solver.
• Sun Daddy: A gigantic figure with a sun for a head with the power to throw fireballs.
• Sex Bomb: She explodes when sexually aroused.
• Stigmata: She bleeds from her hands and feet and relives the church incident endlessly.
• No One: She is very aggressive; was able to sense the Fifth Horseman and the Painting before it was activated.
• Lucy Fugue: She has radioactive bones and see-through skin. She can also generate harmonic vibrations, a power she used to defeat the Antigod.
• Hammerhead: She is very aggressive towards everyone.
• Spinning Jenny: Prone to panic attacks.
• Flaming Katy: She is a pyrokinetic.
• Lady Purple: She can see the future but rarely speaks; her name possibly comes from the Siouxsie and the Banshees song "Christine."
• Pepper's Ghost
• Merry Andrew: Dresses as a Harlequin and carries toys.
• Driller Bill
• Pretty Polly
• The Snow Queen
• Jeann: Her station could be seen as Cliff was falling into Jane's mind.
• The Sin-Eater: She believes she must suffer for her sins. Jane brings her out as a defense when being tortured.
• The Signal-Man

• Kit W'the Canstick: An old woman who carries a burned-out candle.
• Jack Straw: A living scarecrow.
• The Pointman: He assists Driver 8 in maintaining The Underground.
• Sylvia: She bears Jane's feelings of claustrophobia. She is locked inside of a small room, reciting poem fragments. She believes if she can put the fragments together she can use them as a key out of the room.
• Butterfly Baby: Constantly suffers pain on a Hellraiser-like level in the deepest part of Jane's mind.
• The Shapeless Children: Constantly repeat "Daddy don' do it".
• Bizzie Lizzie Borden: Jane's ninth alter, who may not be real.
