She became interested in the Maximum Mayhem tournament when she found out that the sponsor was quite wealthy. Quite the AttentionWhore. (When she runs, she ''waves''.)\\
In the ''KOF'' series, she makes her debut in ''KOF XI'' as the leader of Team ''Mark of the Wolves'', recruiting Gato and Tizoc to her team under the pretenses of information about his father and claiming to be a fan respectively. In ''XV'', having witnessed the events of the previous tournament and hoping something exciting will happen through participating in the upcoming one, she contacts Rock Howard and Gato, enticing them with a chance to fight against Terry for the former and information about the whereabouts of the latter's father, and forms Team Garou with them.\\

* NameOfCain: He's named after the biblical character, due to Grant's real name being Abel. Ironically enough, these two names are completely irrelevant given that he and Grant trust eachother greatly.
* NonIndicativeName: In spite of being named after Cain, who is known for murdering his brother, he has no hostility towards Grant, whose true name is Abel, and in fact appreciates him greatly thanks to the latter looking after him since he was young.

** He's such an arrogant prick that he fell into Jae Hoon's DetectEvil radar, though his greatest vice wasn't that he's an evil man, just an utter asshole. (Though Tizoc doesn't consider him villain)
** It's telling that he's considered part of the "Egoism" special team in ''KOF XV'', alongside the similarly abrasive Iori and Krohnen. Their special ending together shows they don't even get along with each other very well, pissing each other off while they hang out in a bar.

Nice Hat Removal


* NiceHat: A few of her normal color variations in ''[=MI2=]'' deck out Jenet in a pirate hat, predictably enough. Her "Another" design in the same game features a different straw hat.



* PirateGirl: A modern-day version and a nod to her native England being well known for having produced some of the world’s most famous pirates; Edward Teach (more commonly known as Blackbeard) and Calico Jack Rackham, who had the two most famous and ferocious female pirates in his crew, Mary Read and Anne Bonny. Jennie’s alias is a likely ShoutOut to the latter.

** In ''XV'', he's a hell of a lot more cordial in his relationship with Jenet, but it's mainly because of how he ''isn't'' the target of her affections; it's very much implied Jenet invited Rock onto Team Garou as a way of getting closer to Terry than anything else. It doesn't stop Jenet from [[TheTease teasing]] the poor boy to no end.

** In ''XV'', he has [[https://youtu.be/bT1o9G45AXU "Way To The Horizon"]], which plays during his Fateful Battle against Geese. Given how the latter track has none of Geese's familiar motifs (if "Soy Sauce for Geese" and many of its iterative remixes are anything to go by), it's safe to say that it's Rock's theme and and his alone.

* JackOfAllStats: Like his father, Rock is an incredibly versatile character in most of his appearances. He has a solid projectile to zone with, a good approach tool that also acts as a projectile call-out in itself, a great (if a tad slow) command grab, excellent anti-air options... he's the complete package and then some. All of this and the cherry on top goes to his [[SkillGateCharacter ease of use]], often being a relatively simple character to play.

* PurpleIsPowerful: PlayedWith. Due to the PowerIncontinence above, he doesn't quite have a handle on the unbridled power he tends to put out. That being said, his purple ki blasts are [[CompositeCharacter a combination]] of Terry's reddish orange and Geese's cool blue, indicating he has the power to surpass them ''both'' if he were to control them.

Added DiffLines:

* DramaQueen: The constant in Jenet’s basic personality traits is how she mostly acts like an alluring sensual mature woman but occasionally bursts into childish tantrums, best shown in her Time-Out losing pose, where she pouts like a kid, and her infamous counter-super in which Jenet swings her high heel like mad. All of this is settled within Jenet because she is quite young despite her mature seductress design, to note: she is just 2 years older than Rock, at 19.

Jenet's not wearing underwear thanks to how she wears a dress that [[ShesGotLegs REALLY shows off the legs]] while doing her [[KickChick strong kicks]]. This is especially noticeable when she's KO'd or doing her stiletto attack, as both look suspciously like she's exposing her crotch. Her official art in the same game does show her wearing underwear though, see {{Panty Shot}} below. As such, this might be from an oversight in development.
