Janis

Janis is an American exchange student who was made exclusively for the Gameboy DSL game InuYasha:Secret of the Divine Jewel.She makes fast friends with Kagome and when coming to see her after school she is attacked by a demon. At the end of the battle she inadvertadly absorbs a jewel shard, allowing her to pass into the feudal era like Kagome. Soon she develops special powers and is given a spear to weald by a mountain god. Eventually she learns that she possesses these powers because she is the re-incarntation of a girl named Tsugumi, who was the bride of the god of storms Datara. Being Datara's bride Tsugumi possessed some of his powers. Soon she learns Tsugumi's tragic tale where she was forced to kill her own husband and child on her wedding day because Datara had been possessed by a cursed mask and in order to thwart Tsugumi's attempts to stop him he held their infant daughter hostage. Tsugumi died after destroying her husband, a scenario very reminiscent of kikyo and Inuyasha. Janis learns that defeating Datara and returning her powers is the only way to free the shard from her body thus stopping demons from hunting her. After she defeats Datara and frees him of the cursed demon mask, she is allowed to speak with Datara and Tsugumi where she learns that she is not Tsugumi's reincarnation but in fact the reincarnation of their infant child. With the shard out of her body Janis is unable to return to the feudal era, and returns to America shortly after the events of the game.
