Short Bio
Janet was born in an upper-middle class family. She was raised well, but was often forced to meet expectations she found difficult. Failing the expectations resulted in shame, disappointment, and anger from her parents. She internalized it to mean she wasn’t good enough, that her parents did not love her, and that her parents only wanted results. She would sullenly rebel against her parents, but at the same time, she wanted their acceptance and their acknowledgement. When she failed an expectation, she would be in tears and crying herself to sleep because of the harsh raised voices of her upset parents.

This made her feel weak. This made her hate herself. So she struggled to curb her emotions. She struggled to remove them. She failed that, but managed to distance herself from her emotions. She found solace in games, in moments of excitement and joy that would help her get through life. In games she could be another; in games she could loosen the chains she weighed herself down with. When the VRMMO Sword Art Online came into being, she hurriedly tried to get the game and join the beta. She didn’t manage to get in the beta, but she did manage to get the game and Nerve Gear early on.

When she discovered she was trapped in the game, she chose to stay in the village and sneak out on her own to go fight monsters. She wanted to survive, and so, she needed money. To some extent, she is elated by her situation. Here is an escape from her life. If she survives in this world, she is free from her past life, and if she dies, she is still free. However, to some extent, she fears returning to the real world. For her, strength is protection, strength is safety, and in this world she is someone else. When this world ends… what then? Could she really survive being submerged in that world again? Then again, she might very well die here, God knows her chances of surviving are low, and that wouldn’t be so bad, would it?

Personality
Janet is a very reserved person, especially in front of strangers. She bases how she acts upon the people around her. She is constantly weighing expectations of others and her own internal turmoil to determine what to do. She’s more of a solitary creature by choice, though at times, it gets a bit lonely. She enjoys the peace of not having to meet expectations. Janet has low self-esteem, is easily hurt, and loathes herself deep down; however, she also has a strong will and survival instinct.
