In Kingdom Hearts, Jane appears to have come alone with Clayton to the jungle, and has already befriended Tarzan. Jane meets [[Sora]] when Tarzan arrives at the camp with him and is rather astonished to see he speaks English. Jane and the others are not pleased with Clayton when he tries to shoot a gorilla. Jane is later captured by Heartless, held hostage at the treehouse while Clayton goes to shoot the gorillas. She is freed and later accompanies Sora, Tarzan, [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] to the waterfalls where Sora seals the world's [[Keyhole]]. Jane figures out Tarzan's continuous hooting means "Friends". What becomes of her and Tarzan after the departure of Sora is unknown.
Jane has long, dark brown hair, blue eyes, and seems to wear eyeliner and lipstick. Clothing-wise Jane wears a faded, white tank top, walks barefoot, and wears a long, brown sarong that reaches to just above her ankles.

Jane has come with Clayton to the jungle, in order to study the gorillas that inhabit it. By the time Sora arrives, she has already befriended Tarzan. Jane meets Sora when Tarzan arrives at the camp with him and is rather astonished to see that Sora speaks English.[1] Later, Jane finds out that Clayton tried to shoot Terk and is angry at him. She is later captured by the Heartless and held hostage at the Climbing Trees while Clayton goes to hunt the gorillas. She is soon freed, and she accompanies Sora, Tarzan, Donald, and Goofy to the Cavern of Hearts after Clayton is defeated. There, deep within the waterfalls, Sora finds and seals Deep Jungle's Keyhole. Jane then realizes that Tarzan's repeated ape sounds mean "heart". Fortunately for Sora, Donald, and Goofy, she remains unaware that they are from another world.
