Young and pretty, Janne Markovsky used to be a rising star, a very talented musician until a jealous ex boyfriend crippled her, turning her into a disabled person in a wheelchair.

Desperate to bring her daughter back to a normal life, her mother decided to take her to a shaman. The old wise man was known for making miracles using ancestral rituals.

The Shaman lived deep in the forest, his witch hut lost in the middle of nowhere. There was no road that led to his place and a poorly-visible trail was the only means of getting there.

The mother and her disabled daughter followed the trail through the cold and unwelcoming forest for what felt like several days. To their dismay, the trail had faded and they were lost. Not only that, but their cellphones had died and it was almost night. It was then they heard the howling of a wolf break the silence of the forest.

In defeat and fear, the duo attempted to head back to civilization. After half an hour of walking, a wolf lept out of the bushes at Janne. It managed to knock her out of her wheelchair and bite into her shoulder before her mom attacked the wolf, wrestling the beast off of her helpless child. However, she was quickly mauled by the wolf, and was killed by a swift bite to the throat. Janne couldn't do anything but spectate in horror as the wolf feasted on her mother's corpse. After the wolf had it's fill, it left Janne to die where she lay as a meal for the future.

Full Moon Fury

Janne starts the match as a normal girl. Only her forearms and hands look supernatural, like wolf legs/paws with long claws. She is slightly faster than a survivor. Her red glowing eyes make her look quite creepy. Once she reaches Bloodlust 1 during a chase, she will fall to the ground in convulsions to become a wolf. The process lasts 1.5 seconds. Her FOV is very limited during that short period of time (the camera is looking down, it can be compared to a stun).

She will remain a wolf while she's got Bloodlust active. Losing Bloodlust will activate a 7 seconds timer. If no other prey is found during the timer, Janne will get back to her quasi-human form.

• Her Movement speed as a wolf is 15% faster, plus she has got an additional +10% movement speed boost for a second right after she shapeshifts.
  
• She can jump over pallets/through windows as fast as a survivor when in her Wolf form
  
• After landing a successful hit on a healthy survivor, Janne will grab them and throw them to the ground. She will then start to maul them. If the mauling is successful, the survivor will transit into the dying state and Janne will howl, turn back into a human over 1.5 seconds and will be able to carry the prey to the hook.

During the mauling, the survivor will perform three consecutive skill checks. Every succcessful skill check will increase the duration of the struggle for 1.5 seconds, though after those three skill checks the survivor will lose the fight nonetheless. A failed skill check will transit the survivor into the dying state immediately. The scary music, violent animations and tension for both sides should make the mauling an adrenaline pump.

The killer has got to spam the space bar. If the spamming fails, Janne be stunned for 3 seconds and the survivor, injured, will be able to run away.

Other survivors can not interrupt the mauling process. In fact, anyone getting too close to the mauling beast will scream in panic the same way as if reached by the Doctor's madness and will remain stunned and screaming, until the beast finsihes mauling her victim. Once the panic attack is over, the survivor will suffer from the exhaustion and hindered effects for 20 seconds.

The range at which other survivors start to panic is defined by the items the beast uses, as well as there is an element of randomness too. This will make it harder for bold survivors to bodyblock or blind the killer.

Cautiousness - The killer can flip 1/2/3 pallets on their own. When flipping a pallet, the killer does not stun him/herself. This will allow killers to flip and destroy pallets that are being used by a particularly bold pallet looper. For Janne, this perk is even more crucial because in her wolf form, she can jump over flipped pallets without a speed penalty.
"They think I am a beast of the fog, a monster. I don't blame them. I just want this to end as quickly as possible." - Janne


Infection - Once a survivor is knocked down into the dying state, a timer activates. Once the timer expires, the survivor dies unless they escape before that happens. The timer lasts 12/11,5/11* minutes. Nothing can cancel or delay it. When reaching the 10* minutes mark, the survivor can no longer be healed above the Injured state.
(*) the exact amount of minutes should be balanced
"There are some diseases and wounds only the campfire can heal. No matter what happens, you've gotta make your way to its healing light before it's too late." - Vigo's Journal



Kill the Strongest First - A survivor that manages to blind the killer gets the Exposed debuff for 20/25/30 seconds.
"You're smart... I will ki25ll you first." - Janne

Blood - Janne's pelt is covered in blood of her recent victims. This makes her look more intimidating and increases the panic radius - radius at which other survivors start to scream while Janne is mauling.

Amulet - An expensive necklace, a gift from her boyfriend whom she unwillingly murdered while in wolf form. Those memories fill her with despair and anger.

Music Poster - A piece of a poster from one of Janne's past concerts. Memories of her past life make her want to end this one faster. Since the Fog promised to free her if she kills enough people, her attacks become more brutal and precise.

Gun Bullet - The bullet that started the downward spiral of Janne's life. The metal has absorbed most of Janne's rage, sadness and despair, making it an extremely powerful item in the eyes of the Fog.

Tattered Wristwatch - A watch she got as a gift from her mother. When Janne turned into a wolf for the first time, her wrists grew wider, yet the watch didn't break; it broke her skin and settled into the muscles of her wrist. The watch serves as a literally and figuratively painful reminder of her dead mother.

Broken Femur - A femur taken from the leg of a wolf. It reminds Janne of her monsterous self and wakes up the wolfish instincts within her.

Piece of Contract - A piece of her first contract with her music producer. She still remember how she held this contract for the first time, believing that it was her door to a new life full of art, success and fame. Holding it now gives her back a tiny part of that determination.

Janne is probably best suited for those players who are utterly annoyed by bold survivors. While Janne requires some practice to be mastered, her ability to easily chase down pallet loopers will be loved by many.

When in wolf form, Janne can basically one hit kill a healthy survivor. In order to compensate that, the mauling process plus the animations take quite a bit. The whole thing might take anywhere from 2 to 12 seconds (depending on whether the survivor will land all of the skill checks + the addons Janne is using). Good thing is - spamming space bar will guarantee a dying survivor, plus nobody can interfere in this process. Bad thing is - any perks that add the Exposed effect are useless for Janne, unless she is in her quasi-human form.

Any survivor who is facing Jane should avoid long chases at all cost. Once Jane gets Bloodlust I, the survivor is pretty much doomed. If that happens, the only vulnerable spot is the 1,5 seconds during which Jane is turning into a wolf. Experienced survivors can use that window to change direction, enter a locker or do something else that is not expected by the killer.

Stealth-based gameplay is adviced when facing Jane.
