OVERALL LOOK //Janine's appearance ties in tightly to her personality and attitude. Ever since she was little, she knew that she was prettier than most of the other girls around school. While most of them barely knew how to do their hair properly, Janine always looked very well put together, a large part of which was due to her mother's help. In grade school, her long dark hair hung in loose curls and she always had on the prettiest clothes. This continued on even in high school. Although Janine no longer wears her hair in curls, she pays attention to how it looks. She manages to pull off the touseled sex hair usually, the kind of hair that looks like she just woke up and looked that way. However, if she does feel in the mood for dressing up, she does curl the ends of her hair from time to time. Although her face doesn't necessarily need much makeup, Janine likes dark eye shadows, for the drama. Her pouty lips are usually neutral, but slightly glossed with chapstick.
Because of Janine's constant visits to the gym, she's blessed with a toned body and she doesn't mind showing it off. She can be often seen wearing low neck lines, just enough to make a man's mouth water, but hiding enough to leave them wanting more. Don't get me wrong. She was classy in her own little way. She wears a lot of designer clothing and accessories. If it doesn't have a label, it's not worth wearing. She likes wearing pants since they're easier to move around in, but she doesn't have a preference to any clothes in particular. So long as the clothes are designer and cute, she'll wear them. High heels are also an essential part of her outfit, no matter how uncomfortable they may look or feel. And if it's cold, Janine will just break out her high heeled leather boots.

OVERALL PERSONALITY //There's only one word that can describe Janine fairly. bitch. And she's very proud of it, too. She's the type of girl who others say that they hate but secretly want to be a part of her posse. Janine loves to be in the spotlight and she'll do anything to stay there. As soon as people become potential threats to her popularity, she knows how to take care of them. She methodically spreads rumors. These rumors may be anything from the common slut rumors to failed abortions to questioning their sexuality. Of course these rumors do hurt other people, but Janine just plain doesn't care what happens to the others, so long as she's able to maintain her social standing among the cliques in St. Gregory's. And this is not just limited to anyone outside of her clique. If any of Janine's friends cross her path, she won't hesitate to take them down.
Because they may act as a threat to her social standing, Janine hates new students to the school. Oftentimes, if they're even remotely attractive, they think that they can just fit into the cliques and social workings of the St. Gregory's. Janine takes it as her own personal duty to teach them where they belong. However, the select few new students that Janine recognizes potential in are accepted into Janine's tight-knit circle of friends and is taken under Janine's wing. Her circle of friends enjoy the benefits of a life with the rich and famous. Their presence graces the best parties and with parties come drugs and alcohol. There's nothing that Janine won't try at least once. She's dabbled in everything from pot to coke to ecstasy. As a part of the finer things in life, Janine pulls these stunts every weekend without fail.
When Janine was little, she was dubbed as “gifted” through the school system. They recognized that Janine was highly intelligent and she was placed in the honors program. However, as she progressed through junior high and then finally in high school, Janine failed to apply herself to her school work. It didn't interest her one bit and she took herself out of the honors program. Now the only aspect of school that interests her is the social part. Also, ever since she was little, Janine had a musical talent. Almost any instrument she picked up, Janine could learn within a couple weeks. Although she refused to belong to the school's band at risk of her social standing, she continues to play music in her spare time in the dorms when no one else is around. Her weapon of choice is the acoustic guitar, but Janine also has various other instruments in her dorm room.
MOM’S NAME //Adeline Byford (45)
DAD’S NAME //Leroy Byford (60)
SIBLINGS //None
OTHER IMPORTANT RELATIVES //None
HISTORY //Janine's mother, Adeline, was a shallow young lady who would do anything for fame and riches. Although she didn't achieve the fame, she was able to get her hands on the money through the form of a loveless marriage to Leroy Byford. Leroy was a wealthy man who knew how to manipulate the stocks. He quickly earned plenty of money, immediately attracting the attention of Adeline. Despite the age difference, Leroy believed that Adeline loved him for who he was. That was how Adeline ended up knocked up with Janine. Their only daughter was born in the cold of winter, much like her personality once she grew up. Although Adeline grew more and more bitter about the marriage, she hid her loathing towards Leroy. Instead, she indulged in countless affairs, keeping each a secret from Leroy. However, as Janine grew up, she became aware of her mother's lack of faithfulness.
As Janine grew up, her mother taught her the same values she grew up with. Janine learned to judge people by their appearances and their social standing. She never failed to ridicule someone she thought was lesser than her, earning her a well-earned reputation around school as being a bully. Leroy, however, attempted to instill a sense of nobility in Janine because of her family's financial standing. He was the one who introduced music into her life, showing her that she had an extraordinary talent in something other than judging people. Although she never admitted it at school, Janine enjoyed the magic that music brought into her life. She tried her hand at different instruments and finally settled on the guitar as her favorite. It wasn't too geeky, but helped her social standing. Not that she needed it, really.
Moving into high school, Janine was introduced to the party scene that came with the popular crowd. Paired with the parties were drugs and alcohol. Soon enough, Janine was pulled into that scene. It opened a whole new world for her and became part of the reason why Janine's grades began to take a toll. While her parents weren't that happy about her decline in school, at this point, there wasn't much they could do about it. Leroy had no clue about Janine's second life and Adeline really couldn't care less about her daughter between her multiple lovers. That just encouraged her constant spiral down into the dark world of drugs. During Janine's sophomore year, one of her close friends died of an overdose and she narrowly avoided being caught up in the investigation. Although she was never exposed, she had to be cautious with her activities now that the school knew where to look. However, the school eventually calmed down when they couldn't pin anything definite to Janine.
With the new students arrived in the school, Janine was able to observe a sort of hostility between the two groups that they ended up splitting up into. There were a couple interesting characters that she knew would spice up her life, but one group has emerged as somewhat of a threat to her. Although the students stare at the group, Janine can see that the new students hold themselves with a different air than others. It's somewhat of a “I'm better than you” air without the snootiness that usually comes along with it. Since they are becoming a threat to Janine's social standing, Janine will be pulling out her usual tricks. Anything to take the new threats out of the running.
