Jane Porter

Despite Jane's origins linking back to upper-class England, she is fairly eccentric and spontaneous - like her father. However, she still has a sense of standards and tries to stay true to her roots as an Englishwoman while also adapting to life in the jungle. Overall, Jane is intelligent and greatly gifted in her skills as a zoologist and artist; seen several times throughout the film, Jane can conjure an extremely accurate representation of an animal or even a human, such as Tarzan and portray it on her sketch board with relative ease and exquisite detail. Though she primarily works from a reference, her sketch of Tarzan was done solely on memory, further exemplifying her talent. Jane is also adorable, kind and very respectful. She also has a sense of humor.

Aside from art, Jane has a passionate admiration for wildlife of all kinds. She generally appreciates and respects the animal kingdom, and takes it as her responsibility to be mindful of their living conditions during her explorations. This led to bitterness between herself and her arrogant guide, Clayton, who continuously doubted Jane's capabilities.

For all of Jane's talents, she is far from perfect. She has a habit of getting herself into trouble, and sometimes due to her own arrogance, such as when she teased and taunted a baby baboon, not realizing his aggressive family was near by and ready to protect their child. Within the jungle, she is also out of her element, as she initially had difficulty surviving its perils upon encountering them, forcing her to be saved by Tarzan repeatedly. However, interestingly, she is quick to adapt. After her first encounter with Tarzan, Jane grew a natural understanding of the ape-man and the jungle itself. She slowly began to lower her defenses, visualized through her progressive change of attire, became more open-minded to the peculiar world in which she was exploring, and eventually felt her home was not in England but in the jungle itself and with Tarzan. In Tarzan, Jane is a woman in her early 20s with a slender, hourglass build, fair skin, greenish-blue eyes, rosy cheeks, pink lips, thin brown eyebrows and long, brown hair. When she first appears in the movie, her outfit and personality wasn't adapted to the jungle, but as the film moves on, her outfit becomes more revealing as she grows more attached to the jungle to the point that at the end of the film, her appearance is now similar to Tarzan, as she now lives in the jungle.

When Jane first appears, she wears a long yellow dress and large yellow bustle with a purple cravat, white gloves, white boots (with black on the soles, toes, and heels, like Mary Jane shoes), white petticoat, white frilly knee-length pantalettes and her hair is in a bun.

Later, when Jane is introducing Tarzan to her father, she wears a yellow shirt with a long green skirt with no shoes, and her hair is let loose. She was seen wearing shoes in two scenes with this outfit in Strangers Like Me.

Jane's next outfit is of a white tank top with a long, wrapped red skirt, and like her previous outfit her hair is loose and she is barefoot.

By the end of the film, Jane wears a bikini-like loincloth consisting of only a brownish-red tank top that reveals her midriff and a matching short skirt.

In The Legend of Tarzan, Jane is almost always wearing her yellow shirt and green skirt as her main outfit, and barefoot, just like what she wore when she introduced Tarzan to her father in the original film, though in some episodes she wears a light green tank top with a green skirt.
