History
Past
Jane was born in 1992 to businessman Hugh Pennvellyn and opera singer Renee Pennvellyn. Her parents divorced later on, and her father remarried, this time to Nancy's neighbor Linda Gabriella Petrov-Penvellyn. The family moved from America to Blackmoor Manor in England in 2004.
Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor
Jane, angry about the move to England and wanting to get her parents back together, decides to work with an old legend about a curse on the manor. She wrote the curse on the wall of Linda's bedroom. She then regularly put her great-aunt's allergy pills into Linda's food to make her sick, and put hair growth tonic in her lotions. This made Linda believe that she was cursed and was turning into the fabled "Beast of Blackmoor".
She is later seen performing a strange ritual with her tutor.
When Nancy finds the legendary Pennvellyn treasure (a meteorite owned by the founder of the family), Jane follows her and tries to take it. She triggers a trap that entraps her in an airless steel box, but she is freed by Nancy.
Jane confesses to poisoning and tricking Linda, and her father is upset. It is later revealed that Jane is forgiven by her father and stepmother and that they would try again at being a family.
The ritual is revealed to be a Pennvellyn family practice that initiates the Pennvellyn as a guardian of the treasure. Their duty then becomes to add more puzzles to make the process of finding the treasure more difficult.
Personality
Jane is generally kind and polite, though she can be self-centered and selfish. She hates change and resents Linda for replacing Renee. However, she is also playful and just wants to have a good time. She loves to play board and card games with Nancy.
Appearance
Jane appears as a normal 12-year-old girl with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. She is usually seen in a dark grey collared, button-down school shirt, black leggings, and silver shoes.
