Extended Story
Blazing from the heart of the Otherworld, Hallow Heights’s biggest sensation, Jane Bane is the witch of booming fright! Following in the footsteps of her mother, Soon Doom, this fiery Flare Witch is the next big star of the annual Hallow Heights Festival of Fright! The stage was set, and the festival that would hold her big debut was only a few days away. But after a sudden act of sabotage by Countess Ophelia, it was time for her to team up with her sister, Gloom Doom, to save the festival and defeat Ophelia. She journeyed across the many bizarre lands of Otherworld to gather the six magical Lunarelics. Through this journey the two would continue to hone their own magic skills by discovering the lost pages of the Terror-Tome. From dazzling all walks of monsters and creeps at the festival, to vanquishing the tyrannical forces of Countess Ophelia, Jane’s freaky fireworks have proven extremely versatile.
After this victory, Jane was excited to continue her adventures in places no one could ever reach. With her sister, Gloom, the two began experimenting in special eldritch magic from lost tomes and their mother’s secret library. Day in and day out, they would get closer to peering into other worlds, at least a glimpse, but it wasn’t enough to open a door to somewhere else. On one fateful day, the two gave it one last try before a gigantic disc the color of blood red opened up, and before they can revel in their success, Jane is sucked in, with the portal closing and leaving Gloom behind.
Jane wakes up in a faraway place where it isn’t Halloween 24/7, a new world for her to explore. Thanks to infernal communications, Gloom and the rest of Jane’s friends offer their aid to help her back home, but Jane is sidetracked by the grand attraction of a martial arts tournament known as Battle Craze..
“Lurking and creeping somewhere in the dark, beats getting faster in your heart. That slow-burn creep of the night, transforming to a booming fright!”

---|---|---|---|
Dash, Double Jump | |||
Unique Trait | |||
Slow-Burn Creep | Jane’s Burn moves ignite the opponent on hit, causing them to slowly take recoverable health damage. This effect can stack and will decay over time. Rising the ignite level to maximum will consume the stacks to deal flat damage, and cause the opponent to Dire Counter. | ||

Craze Technique | |||
SP+SK | Booming Fright | Jane sets in place a pumpkin which can be detonated. Pressing SP+SK will let it explode, and if Jane is close to it, she’ll jump upwards off of it undamaged, much like a rocket jump. Pressing 2SP+SK has a longer startup, but the detonation will leave behind a puddle of flames that lasts longer for okizeme. Jane is able to kick the pumpkin with her normals and specials and detonate it mid-flight. | |

Concept
Jane’s conceptual history is a roller coaster. Over the course of her design up to this point, Jane was conceived as a RPG protagonist with other side characters later dropped, and then as a cartoon character along her relative Gloom. Then back to an RPG and then turned to a witch with her sister, and currently a 3D platformer. Original envisioned as much younger, and lacking witch attire and abilities before doubling down on the Halloween aesthetic.
Trivia
- Jane Bane is autistic.
- Jane shares her birthday with her creator, Suzie.
- This is a nod to Bayonetta, where the titular character shares her birthday with the game's director, Hideki Kamiya.
- Jane's All-Out EX is a reference to the intro scene in The Nightmare Before Christmas, which ends with the protagonist, Jack Skellington, setting himself on fire in his "Pumpkin King" form. It is also a reference to Dragoon Might, one of the Super Bomber moves used by the game's boss, Dogma.
- Jane's knock out and time-out voice lines are direct quotes from the Wicked Witch of The West's death scene in The Wizard of Oz.
