BiographyEdit

Janey is noted as "Lisa's fair-weather best friend" and this is accurate description. Though she is often seen hanging out with Lisa, she at other times teases her along with the other children for her misfortunes or idealistic views. She is not nearly as intelligent or nerdy as Lisa, once blowing a bubble with chewing gum rather than engage in Lisa's current conversation.

Janey has spent the night at the Simpsons' house and Lisa is seen watching cartoons at her house on numerous occasions. She is also seen reading "The Babysitter Twins" with Lisa.

Janey may have had a crush on Milhouse Van Houten, who has a crush on Lisa^[2]. In The Simpsons Game, she asks Bart where Milhouse is and calls Lisa cruel for leading Milhouse on. She sells cupcakes in school^[3].

According to The Lisa Book, Janey is considered to be one of the most popular girls in second grade, in a poll that she conducted herself. She is very fashion conscious, being particularly wary of clothes that look Canadian. She also enjoys the company of other girls, especially when they fawn of her. In Janey perspective, either you're with her or you have "cooties"^[4].

FutureEdit

She is shown as the spectre of George Washington's reluctant second choice for first female President after Lisa disappoints him, to which Lisa fiercely objected on the grounds Janey would just fill the Supreme Court with boys^[5].

TriviaEdit

• Because of Janey's fickle and fair-weathered treatment towards Lisa, her downplayed role in more recent episodes, and the fact that Lisa herself stated numerous time that she has no friends, Janey can be best considered as a recurring acquaintance. In addition, her role towards Lisa is much like the role of some of Marge's acquaintances, Luann Van Houten and Helen Lovejoy.
• Janey's one talent is the ability to touch her nose with her tongue^[6].
• Janey is also an online friend of Taffy's^[7].
