Main task - pre production - Jane Raulings, character biography.

Childhood
Jane Clumbler was born to Peter and Scarlet. She is the eldest of the two daughters. Their next daughter coming along a year and half later then Jane, she was named Catherine. 

Jane, being the eldest, was the one that was depended on to set an example to her younger sister. This meant that Jane learnt housework chores at a young age. She would do the clothes washing, cooking and cleaning, as well as going to the shops to get any groceries that her mother asked for. 

Her parents were married two years before they had both Jane and Catherine. Peter was a door-to-door salesman. Always wanted to be a succesful buisnessman but never had the determination to get up and make this a reality. He met Jane's mother when he first moved to the same part of LA as her. He happened to live just up the road, one night when he was walking back to his flat after a long day of being on his feet, he quite litterally bumbed into Scarlet on the corner of the street. He instantly felt attracted to her and set about finding out who she was and how he could marry her. 
Eventually, after many meetings, Peter eventually got up the corage to go to Scarlets father and ask for her hand in marrige. They got married on Scarlet's birthday, a perfect christmas present.

Peter continued his door-to-door slaesman job, never getting up the determination to go and see what other jobs he could find himself. He was a very safe man. Jane's mother was a school teacher at the local kindergarten. She loved her job, this meant that she could not only teach her own children the ways of life and see them enjoy learning new things but could also see the other children of the comunity getting this too. 


Schooling
Jane and her sister Catherine went to their mothers kindergarten. However, when they were too old for this school they moved onto a state high school as their parents did not have enough money to send them to a private school.

Jane got a average education, she enjoyed school more than her sister, Catherine. She did well in her studies and the teachers were always happy with her work. She would often be top of the class, and if not she would always try harder for the next exam.


Her lesson that she most throughly enjoyed though was Physical Education. She enjoyed being outside the classroom and being out playing sports with the other girls. Being fit was something her mother and father always made sure that their daughters knew about. Catherine was never all that big in the exercise unlike Jane. Catherine always felt like she was living in Jane's shadow. Jane always sucelded in anything she tried. 


Family
Jane met Paul Raulings not long after she left home at the age of 17. She had a small appartment flat in the inner city where she worked at a little book store. She wanted to be a teacher as soon as she got the money to go to night school to get the qualifications. Soon after meeting Paul she had many dates with him and ended up getting married. Soon after the marrige her father beacme terminaly ill. They would visit her father and mother as much as they could. Jane fell pregnant with Sarah a few months after her father was diagnosed. Luckily, he lived long enough to see Sarah's birth, however, Jane's next daughter Carolyn never got to see her grandfather as he died when Jane was 3 months pregnant with her.


Profession
Jane's father left her a small amount of money that she used to go to night school to get her qualifications she needed to become a teacher, although her husband could have afforderd her to go years ago, she wanted to do it on her own, not on her husbands fortune. Unfortunatly Jane did not get the grades that allowed her too become a school teacher so she put herself forward to help out in the classroom instead. This meant that she could work in the place that she always wanted, and therefore she was always there to pick the girls up from their day of school and also holidays.
