Janet Pickering

Janet Pickering is a Bone Shadow Cahalith member of the Pickering Family Pack in Colorado.

Background

Janet is Obadiah's eldest werewolf offspring, and is constantly at her father's side. Her mother Jane, Obadiah's first wife, died of cancer when Janet was 10 years old. Distraught, Obadiah trapped Jane Pickering's ghost in a mirror. Over the years, Obadiah and Jane's ghost have argued bitterly, and the mirror now hangs in Janet's room at the Pickering estates. Janet's elder brother, Obadiah Jr., turned out to be Uratha and was her father's pride and joy. Sadly, he died in battle with Predator Kings on his 20th birthday. The stress of losing her beloved brother triggered her First Change. Janet hoped her father would be pleased and treat her as he did her brother. Unfortunately, she remained in the "second-class citizen" role that the wolf-blooded Pickerings do. She bears it all with a quiet stoicism, undercut with an ever-growing fury that could boil over someday. Janet especially dislikes Lillian Pickering-Smith and her husband Ezekiel. Lillian got the attention Janet felt was hers, and Lillian isn't even a werewolf. Janet quietly hopes that the tension between the young couple and her father will erupt and the two "troublemakers" will leave. She dreams of using tooth and claw to remove her half-sister, but knows that Obadiah's revenge would be beyond horrific.

When dealing with the Pickerings, Janet is the face most often seen. In addition to managing the considerable Pickering fortune, she is active in Uratha "politics" and has traded lore and minor fetishes for favors throughout the Rocky Mountain Uratha community. When activated, her Mother's Mirror fetish allows Janet to look into the mirror and see out of any normal mirror within a 1,000 yards, or out of the eyes of any woman who has lost a child with a mile.

Janet Pickering is a hard-faced woman in her mid 50s, though her pinched expression makes her look older. She favors black or gray dresses and wears her hair pulled tightly back.
