* BurnoutBabe: The bulky jacket and heavy eyeliner are surefire indicators. When she's not plotting against Regina, Janis is an accomplished artist.

And like many burnout babes in fiction, she gets the attention of a nerdy guy which she eventually reciprocates. Funnily enough, the school already has a burnout clique that Janis chose not to join for some reason.
