About Jane Porter
Jane Porter is a character from the hit Disney film Tarzan, a sequel titled Tarzan and Jane, and the following animated TV series called The Legend of Tarzan. Jane is characterized as an upper-class British woman whose father, Archimedes Q. Porter is a well-known professor. Jane follows in her father’s footsteps academically and becomes an animal researcher, often embarking on expeditions to learn more about animal behavior.
On her most ambitious adventure yet, a trip to Africa to study gorillas, she meets Tarzan, and the pair fall in love while struggling to adapt to each other’s home environments. In the TV series, the couple live in the jungle, in a treehouse built by Tarzan’s deceased parents. She has adapted reasonably well; however, she is usually portrayed as a damsel in distress who gets herself into dangerous situations from which Tarzan needs to rescue her.
