Janice Mayhew


From Rebirpedia, the Pokémon Rebirth encyclopaedia.

 

Janice Mayhew is an inventive young woman who once worked for Team Rocket's engineering department. Passionate about both her work and family, Janice's soft-spoken nature is contrasted with her hard hitting actions.

 

Janice is wary of modern Pokémon Trainer culture, feeling that it teaches a disregard for what a pokémon wants. In the past she has campaigned against the use of poisoning and paralysing moves in official Gym and Tournament matches, feeling they cause unnecessary levels of suffering.

 

Conversely, Janice enjoys artistic performance such as Pokémon Contests, and sports like Baccer.

History


From 2 years of age, Janice was interested in how things functioned, and often took apart her toys just to see the insides. She was a fast learner and assisted her father in the creation of Pokéballs in his workshop.

At age 16 she produced a robotic prosthetic for a Rattata, as an entry into a science fair. This gave her public recognition and she was later signed up to work for Silph Co's Tattoan sister company, Interplexus Inc., where she met her future husband, Darius Mayhew who was working in the systems administration department.

They were married two years later. Four years after that, at the time of her son's birth, Janice learned Darius' true occupation was as an operative of Team Rocket. Darius insisted the employment was not only well-paid but beneficial to society as a whole. Janice began to lend her skills to Team Rocket as a vital part of machine development, unknowingly constructing parts of what were to become ruthless and cruel robotic devices.

When Janice uncovered Darius' hidden motives to brainwash his son into the ways of Team Rocket, she was horrified and attempted to leave, taking Adam with her. She was caught trying to escape and used as a test subject for one of the first prototypes for Project Rebirth.
