Jennifer Patricia Lane

Jennifer Patricia Lane, AKA PlainSoar (abbreviated to Plain, for short) is an evotar Pentafist who participates long after the events of the main storyline of CrossCode. Jennifer is the defunct daughter of a rich banker in a planet gone extinct by a pandemic 20 years before the ending of CrossCode. She was homeschooled and kept inside her house due to her stern father, and the risk of her death finally convinced the banker to let her experience CrossWorlds as her last wish. Her father bought her an afterlife in CrossWorlds, at the cost of erasing some of her memories of her past for the sake of preserving her alive. Stuck inside the game with more credits than she would ever need, she looks to find out what happened to herself, her family and how to get back to real life and meet her father once more.

Appearance
Plain has long, blonde hair, and her ears are covered up by modified pentafist wings to look longer and antenna-like. Her skin is pale and her build is lean, albeit shorter than the average size. She wears an orange tank top with grey and black lines in its design, with metallic shoulder pads. She uses red, baggy cargo pants with brown shoes and a black belt. Her gauntlets change between two forms. While outside of combat, her gauntlets look like regular fingerless gloves with a dark red color. During combat, the gloves get a thick outer shell made of bright orange rocks, covering her digits and increasing the size of her fists. Despite the threatening look, this shift is purely cosmetic and offers no combat advantage. Plain wears a golden necklace with a key attached to it, given to her by her father.

Personality
Plain is a rollercoaster of emotions. She normally has a bubbly attitude that gets her along with people quite quickly. Due to her age upon death and her limited worldview, she can be childishly naive. This doesn't stop her from being curious and willing to learn, even so being quite a fast learner thanks to her AI processing. Plain is quite the blabbermouth and will engage in long talks, often speaking her heart out. Plain has kleptomania, and this can often lead to her stealing from both peers and strangers alike. She gets awfully insecure about herself when pointed out. Due to the loss of her family, she gets attached to other people quite easily, at times being jealous of other people taking over her relationships. She's also overprotective of these relationships and would throw fists at the first sign of threat. It takes effort to anger her, but she is quite forgiving if the person is sincere and kind enough. If the chance allows for it, Plain can be quite the gold digger. Plain is also alcoholic. (in-game, yet nobody can tell if she’s actually drunk or faking it).

Plain normally likes fluffy animals (specially cats), ice cream, outdated manga, starry nights, and any enemy that isn't a ball of goo.

Outside CrossWorlds
Jennifer was a 19-year-old girl who lived in a rich mansion, thanks to her banker father and artist mother. She lived in a very conservative household, being homeschooled and kept away from diversions, among them, videogames. An unknown plague took over her home planet, claiming the life of her mother in the process. Soon after, Jennifer gets infected. Without the means to find a cure, Jenny's father looked for different means to keep her alive. As a shareholder in Instatainment, and in an attempt to scam the family out of their last riches, both Jenny and her father are offered an afterlife as evotars in the game. As a payment under the water, Jenny's father grants her wish and both of them play CrossWorlds as a means to develop their evotars for the future. Things go wrong when the father is accused of illegal transactions and shoved into jail for a sentence of 20 years. While Jennifer kept playing, her father fought his case and bailed after one month of incarceration, where he unfortunately got infected as well. Jennifer dies in her father's arms, weak to the disease taking over her body, but to his surprise, her evotar was successfully created and taken outside of Vermillion outside of Instatainment's reach. Her survival came with a price, however. Jennifer's memories would have to be "locked" so that her nature as an evotar wasn't revealed to her, risking malfunction. As such, Jenny would have to live for the rest of her stay in CrossWorlds limited from her memory of the outside world. Jenny's father manages to give her some last instructions, among them, to not reveal her identity or of anyone in the family. Her father dies to the plague, happy to see that his daughter would still be able to live on, despite his failed attempt at getting an evotar himself. Plain would remain dormant for 20 years after a seeker activated her again by visiting her hidden quarters in Bergen Village.

Trivia

 * PlainSoar's in-game appearance is heavily inspired by the image of Curly Brace, from the platformer indie game, Cave Story. Her attitude is completely different from the original game's depiction.
 * Plain has appeared in one fanmade roleplay story as a deuteragonist to another seeker helping to push the plot forward. She "canonically" has accepted her nature as an evotar with minimal harm to her processing and even found love with another player despite lies and struggle.
 * There is a trade item called in CrossWorlds, which flavor text describes it as a "Perfectly rectangular shaped cube. There is nothing unusual about it.". A Plain Cube can be exchanged for an item called, which description states that is "A mass of electricity with something that some describe as a 'soul'." These two items reflect Plain's nature as an evotar and how she must hide her identity to avoid trouble. Whether this is coincidental or intentional by the creator is unknown.
