Personality
Once merely a bored housewife using her son's console while he's at college, Janet is still not the most technology-savvy. She often has no idea what she's doing in a game world and will interrupt discussions to vent her own frustration and lack of understanding. She remains a confident person, especially in-game, and has no issue marching up to the first NPC or PC she sees and demanding a manager.
Bossy and overbearing as she can be, Janet is generally a good person, but she also believes good people help themselves and that responsible people take care of their own messes. She believes in the law, organizations, and stands firm by the rules as the best possible method of solving a problem.
When there isn't a book to go by, Janet is excellent at systematically finding the most efficient way to get things done. She also takes her commitments seriously. If she is in a guild, group, or other organization, you can expect her to show up on time and perform to the best of her ability (if you don't do the same, she'll tell you about it.)
However, it's worth noting that the Terrasphere world is Janet's new opportunity to develop who she thinks she could have been (and can maybe still be!) so players may notice she takes sudden leaps of faith or makes unpredictable choices in an attempt at self-exploration.
Janet can be known to complain a lot if she doesn't feel she's being taken seriously or if she doesn't like what someone is doing, which can be often, but she also gives credit where it is due and acknowledges good work. She feels significant guilt over wrongs and moral dilemmas, and tends to worry and regret choices she's made and things she's done.
With many old friends gone, Janet takes her previous playthrough of Terrasphere to mean she's More Experienced than new players and lords it over everyone's heads, which would be easier to take seriously if she wasn't previously known as 'the support player with the broccoli.' She's actually a little lonely and isn't sure how to come to terms with it.
Positive: Dedicated, Organized, Confident, Honest
Negative: Stubborn, Judgmental, Bossy, N00b
Background
With a divorce pending, her son in hysterics, and a fist full of new life savings from the betting rings, Janet Crawford has finally seized her life back for herself.
She originally began playing Terrasphere on a headset she confiscated from her son, who was in college at the time. What started as a case of "bored housewife can't figure out how to exit character creation screen" became a method of self-discovery and source of wonder instead.
She told herself she was there to police the game "for children" and Janet still believes in that. She knows this is an illegal game. She knows it's dangerous. And while she's ready to take the risks, she isn't about to let some thirteen-year-old walk into a virtual trap of sex, drugs, and bad life habits if she can help it.
Janet didn't stop playing VR games. She didn't go back to being a housewife. She got into racing games instead, and has been a competitive player in the e-sports community for the last two years. She made a lot of money. Enough to buy a plane ticket to anywhere.
"Anywhere" was Japan. Janet has been living there for a year after she left her husband of twenty years, refusing to learn any but the most minimal Japanese but working alongside other volunteers on an organic pear farm for food and board.
As far as RPGs go, she can still be considered a n00b: Janet was only just getting a handle on her Nature Magic mastery before the shutdown, and the extensive world of Terrasphere is nothing like the closed-circuit loops of a VR racetrack.
Still, Janet is confident she's "a gamer" now, and ready to flex her newfound authority.

High-cultured music may sound heavenly to others, but not you. You cannot listen to these eloquent melodic rhythms for an extended amount of time before your natural instinct takes over. First, nausea radiates outward from your very center, then paralyzing fear spread within you like wild fire.
