F A M I L Y: PA: BILLY JOE BRADSHAW MA: LISA MARIE BRADSHAW SISTER: LILLIAN JANE BRADSHAW BROTHER: BOBBY JUDE BRADSHAW
H I S T O R Y : Living all most of her life in Oklahoma, was a simple thing for Jane. The wind called her wild spirit which could be why she was often found riding dirt bikes with the local kids, hitting the dirt hills and doing stunts. Her brother BJ was always at her side, and when Lili could she'd tag along to watch the brother and sister team.
Jane however didn't stop riding her bike, even after BJ had. She upgraded from dirt bikes to street bikes, and later on the custom chopper she now owns. BJ and Lili were always worried for their sister, the family dare devil. Though no matter what Jane was doing, she would drop it all for her family when they needed her the most.
High school she was known for her wild stunts on her bike, and for the fact she seemed to always speak her mind no matter what. Always standing up for the under dogs. Jane had her own sense of justice. Often the outcast and yet managing to be popluar all at once. Senior year Jane made the track team, breaking her school's top three track records.
Moving from Oklahoma, she traveled across the states to Los Angeles. This is where she met Scott Master, and Keller Grant. Two important men in her life. Had it not been for Scott, Jane would have been with Keller. They were fated souls. Scott proposed, knowing Keller's and Jane's attraction to one another. She agreed, since she was dating him and it was the right thing to do. From LA, where she received her final degree in Criminal Justice, she joined the Police department and went up in rank till she was a Detective, of the highest ranking.
Scott's father grew ill, and left Scott the family business in Hawaii. Scott, Keller, and Keller's sister moved to the islands. Life was not perfect in Hawaii. Keller and Scott got into a fight, where Keller left, taking his sister with him. Fighting between Jane and Scott grew more and more, and soon she was faced with a stack of papers on her dinning room table. Scott was demanding a divorce.
After a messy divorce with her College sweetheart, Mary Jane Bradshaw would move from Hawaii and the life she had shared with her ex-husband, Scott Masters to LA once again.
Fate had Jane in mind one night. Walking into a bar, she didn't know what she would find, other than drowning her troubles . On this night, Jane had more than a few beers. Keller Grant stood before her, working the bar. Time didn't change him in the slightest. They talked, and when he found out she was divorced it didn't take Keller long to drop his current fling for Jane.
The months that they had together were the best. Jane and Keller seemed to be the perfect couple. Always giving each other looks, and sneaking kisses when they thought no one was looking. She moved in with him after three months. Helping him run his club. It was after six months when Keller proposed. Jane gave him her answer as well as a present of her own. She was three months pregnant with twins.
They couldn't be happier. Jane worked for the force in LA, and earned her rank before she had to go on leave. They gave her a sweet farewell. A month into her leave, Jane went into labor. She started bleeding, and Keller rushed her to the hospital. The doctors worked on Jane and the twins for hours. After six hours, Keller was finally able to see his girlfriend.
It was another four hours before Jane and Keller were allowed to see the twins behind a plate of glass. They were so tiny. The doctor said they might not make it through the night. Jane and Keller got to hold their daughters for the first and last time. Their hair the color of spun gold. Jane remembered that clearly.
They died a few hours later. Keller couldn't handle the loss of his babies, and went into a deep depression where he finally killed himself. Jane came home one night to the smell of blood. Another letter was left on a table. This time, it was from Keller. It explained that he loved her and would always watch over her.
Jane moved away again. She traveled to Miami. Working under cover. On a case, she was attacked by a Were-Tiger. Rushed to the hospital, they injected her with some serum, but after the full moon, that month, Jane would come to find out that the treatment did not work. She searched for the Tiger that had infected her, finding out after her attack he was put to death.
It took Jane years to learn about this new life that had come to be her own. The moon like a guide had lead her to a group of make-shift animals. She learned better from a lion what she could be. Training along side the man, whom Jane would come to care for as a brother, she would become better at protecting what was hers.
The death of Sgt. Tyler Gibson, of the US Air Force, her companion Lion, would cause Jane to leave Miami. She needed more of her kind. Needed the brush of another Tiger and a city to call her own.
She moved to Salem. She met Milo, the local Rat king. Marcus, the Master of the City and most of all here is where she found Ash. They butted heads from the start. Jane was attracted to him from the instant she smelled the gun oil and the highland smell he carried. Dropping her partner and fellow Tiger, Kenzo Yamada, to be Ash's partner. Jane fought her attraction to the man and his beast. Though she never would kid herself. After one insane night of blood and flesh she was hooked.
Ash became her best friend and lover. She ran to him whenever she could. She knew he cared for her as well. It wasn't meant to be when Silent, Ash's first wolf came into the picture. It couldn't be helped either that Lani, walked into Jane's life. Like a magic spell Lani and Jane connected. It was a form of love they shared. Ash still held a part of Jane's heart. The part he had carved with his own claws. No other man could or would replace him. Jane swore to never love another man again.
Keller; Jane knew had guided her to Ash. She loved the Brit more than she would ever admit to herself or anyone else for that matter. Which was why she allowed Silent to be with Ash. It tore her apart. So when Lani disappeared, and after Jane fought Gabby, the perfect excuse arrived. She went in search for Lani.
After leaving Salem, she traveled all over the states, on the way there were fights and there was hardships. Things she Jane needed to do to prove herself among the other tigers. All this was done in search of Lani. The one woman that Jane up and left everyone for. When she finally found her, it wasn't the same Witch she knew in Salem. This girl was not the same. Which meant she had to go back. Go back to Salem. Go back to back to Milo, Marcus and most of all Ash. To everyone that she had swayed with her Southern drawl, and her in your face manner.
She did not stay in Salem long. Silent and Ash she had come to find where more than she had left them. They were a couple, and it ripped at Jane. Fighting was the only thing she knew. She challenged Silent. Jane would have won had Ash not stepped in. Ash stepping in made Jane realize she needed more control. More control of herself and the beast within. Once more she left. Once more she took to the road to find the control she lacked. Swearing that she would return to Ash when she found it and mastered it.
She found herself in South Dakota. Found herself on the force and after a few months passing her Federal Marshall's test. Charlie, her boss, wrote her up a nice big fat bonus for the work. Jane was on her way up. Though she felt almost soulless doing it. She was running on autopilot with her life. Knew what she wanted, how to do and get it done. But there was no true pleasure in doing anything. She kept thinking about Ash and Marcus. About Salem and about her life there. Even at times she thought about Silent. Jane had her happiness, it was unfair of her to be mad about Silent finding her own happiness even if it was with a man Jane wanted.
Night in and Day out she worked, busted her ass and it was one night a call came that changed her course of life. Scott had been killed. The records called it a jet ski accident. Jane didn't believe it. Scott was a dare-devil sure. But he would never risk himself to the point of death and not with a jet ski. Not when he was some high class hotel tycoon either. He loved his life a little too much to just die on accident. The trouble now was she had to leave and go back to Hawaii. Jane dreaded that visit and setting Scott to rest. After setting up her plane ticket and her hotel, she called Ash. Though he never picked up, Jane called him anyway. Hearing the ringing of his cell phone she felt more connected to him. Some how Jane wanted Ash to save her from this. To hold her hand and let her grieve.
He never came. Jane knew he wouldn't Deep down Jane understood his place was with his own kind. No matter how hard she had tried to find a place in his world, she knew a tiger could not change their stripes. In a way she didn't want to stop being herself for anyone. It was an unanswered prayer that Jane would be thankful for.
Hawaii was almost exactly like she left it those years ago. It still had that whitewash of perfection. The humidity covering up the truth of paradise. A perfect picturesque place to hide the real horrors. Scott's preparations were quick with only a slight snag. That snag gave Jane something. She did find Ash. In all the places she didn't expect him to be. He had returned one of her calls finally. South Dakota never head anything for her. Calling the offices she asked for a transfer, they granted her that with a little pull from the Hawaii office she had worked with before.
Assigned to the R.I.P.T team in Hawaii and set up as Ash's partner was a dream come true. Jane felt at least for a little while, home again. a few weeks later Lillian came to live with Jane in paradise. Having her sister there eased the older Bradshaw girl. Feeling the connection to blood family and the makeshift one she had in Hawaii. Hawaii also introduced Jane to Raine, who was also her Khatun. A woman that seemed to command hell with just a wink of one of those turquoise colored eyes. As well as Adam. A man who brought peace in even his most simplest of tasks.
It was July fourth when Jane asked Raine to officially be her woman. The two seemed to be happy. What Jane didn't understand the woman's dedication to her work. Time broke them apart, even though the women still had an understanding for each other. It was also that day when Jane was faced with a choice that would change her sister's life forever. Lili had been caught in one of the attacks by the Human First organization. Scared, burned and in need of great care, Jane did the only thing she knew she could do to save her sister the years and months of therapy and surgery. She purposefully told the doctors and nurses that Jane had werewolf lycanthropy. Knowing that they would infect Lili with the tiger serum to counter the wolf Jane claimed she had. It would increase the chance of Lili catching the weretiger strand after Jane gave her sister blood.
It was the night of the full moon that Jane crept in Lili's room and took her sister and the man who later would be Lili's boyfriend, Gideon into the woods to change. Lili's change broke Jane's heart. Chipping off a chunk of it seeing her sister's beautiful form change into a tiger with eyes of jade. The change healed Lili's broken body, though it came with a life long price of full moons and hunts.
Lili didn't seem to mind it much. Lillian's friends came to visit. One in particular. Soloman was his name. The man looked far too confused. He sensed the power underneath Jane, and with a force of pure heat lashed out. Lashing out and blaming Jane for the transformation in him. Jane lay there on top of Lili with this dumbstruck look on her face. As if she would give him the power to hurt her. The man went running after that. She stayed clear from the man. He was just crazy and crazy was more than Jane could handle.
Life seemed to slow then. All the wild energy in Hawaii started to wake something beneath the ground. Something that had been sleeping for centuries. Unknowing to Jane and most of the population, the elemental Pele was gathering her energy once again and she was pissed off. It was during this chaotic time that she found Valentino. A man who captured Jane's interests from the moment he questioned her reasons for wearing gloves. What wild magic he held she didn't know. He tasted of the power that Marcus was, and yet it wasn't. Where Marcus was love and the pure joy of being in true love, Tino was lust and the act of passion. The passion clouded her mind.
Jane's need to belong over ran her reasoning of being marked by a Vampire. Pele finally woke and in her wake she left destruction and sent all the people of Hawaii scattering and seeking different places to leave. It was then that Jane had to say good-bye to Tino. Had to move on with Lili and go to Oklahoma where she could teach her sister the real meaning of being a lycanthrope. With the help of Gideon they made it off the islands.
Living in Oklahoma was relaxing, as far as it gets. Helping on the farm and taking care of the family as well as teaching Lili the dos and don'ts of her new life slowly changed Jane. Her tiger was growing. Finding that inner strength and harnessing it till one day Jane was able to shift without the aid of the moon or the over working of her emotions. She knew what that meant. Knew because she had seen Gabrielle do it in a fight. It was one night that Jane learned a different power. She could send her energy into another and heal them.
Somehow she felt it was because of the mark she had with Tino, and yet her Tiger said different. It was through that mark with Tino that Jane felt his betrayal. Knowing that she was not his animal to call and the bond between tiger and the vampire was not strong enough to keep him faithful, he sought out a wolf. It was her good friend Loke that Tino kissed. Even though he had promised that she would always find a home with him. Jane knew when Tino kissed Loke, that he would never be home. He was not the man she thought he was. He did not love her the way she thought he would. How could he? He had been with Silent and had promised he love her for always.
Jane felt like a fool for believing in him. Another man to hurt her. Another failed attempt at finding true happiness. It was then that she left Gideon with Lili to teach her the rest. She had to settle a score. She took what little she owned and headed to Rome with only one thought in mind. To remove the mark that Tino placed within her and to be free of everything in her life that held no real meaning.
In Rome, she came across three people who changed her life in many possible ways. Ariadne, Azrael and Brady. Threw a series of events and a cosmic joke it seemed. She was bound by two vampire marks to both Azrael and Ariadne. Brady was someone Jane disliked from the start. The only reason was simply because her tiger wanted him so much. She kept away from Brady, hoping that her thoughts would change.
In New York, she met up with Brady and she knew that she couldn't resist the urge to touch him. As well in New York, she had reunited with Ariadne. They moved in together and lived with one another till they both felt the need to return and seek out their master vampire : Azrael.
