Summary:
Born in the Motor City, Janet and her family ran a relatively popular service shop in what was once the very heart of the American motoring industry. Her love for all things with an engine lead Janet to help out with simple mechanic's tasks in her early teenage years. The service shop soon was visited by a group of racers, and it was there that 16-year-old Janet became interested in the world of racing. Becoming just a good mechanic wasn't going to suffice for Janet, at least not completely.
Having bought an old Mazda roadster off of one of Janet's uncles with her hard-earned allowance and tips, Janet would spend weeks in her off-hours rebuilding and restoring her newly obtained ride. After some help from the rest of her family, Janet's very first proper car was ready to go. She trained in the empty back lots for hours and hours, simply learning basic driving techniques down to absolute perfection. Janet already began to understand the thrill of just driving, and soon she wanted to become a racer. She got her driver's license after a few weeks, and then started autocrossing in grassroots events all over the state with her parents.
Janet's autocross career is where she began building a reputation for being incredibly precise and deliberate. As it turns out, some of the modifications she made were enough to occasionally beat cars that should have no right being beaten by a little dinky roadster. Sponsors took quick notice of her giant-killing abilities; after securing some minor sponsorship from a variety of parts manufacturers, Janet slowly built her roadster up into a proper, full-built race car.
As her 18th birthday passed, Janet felt it was time to go big. Or at least a lot bigger than grassroots parking lot cone killing. With some cooperation, a few local aerodynamics and chassis experts decided to back her project of building the fastest Time Attack roadster ever. It was a huge step up from her normal "regular car with a roll cage" build; with a fiery 400 horsepower turbo motor, a custom space-frame chassis, and a fiberglass wide-body kit, it went very fast indeed. Although it was a handful for her, Janet made it work, and posted consistent top five finishes at a number of Time Attack events in the various "B-list" and pro-am classes.
Her ultimate dream, however, is to be a part of a big-name team she can love. A mechanical nut in many senses of the phrase, Janet is probably just as at home under the bonnet as she is tearing it up with the boys. To her, every car she works on is something to be cherished, be it a lowly beater or a World Grand Prix champion.
Roleplaying Notes:
- As a former vehicle builder and tuner, Janet loves getting under the cars and tweaking them.
- She does, however, get exceptionally upset if something, even the slightest thing, feels unnatural when driving.
- She would prefer to have fans who like her because of her talents or her personality. Talking about her status as a minority, even if in a "positive" light, is a good way to get on her bad side.
