Janet Westeros

Janet Westeros is an important supporting character in the novel "狩猎好莱坞." She serves as the main love interest of the protagonist, Simon Westeros.

Appearance
She has a beautiful yet distinct appearance thanks to her pretty, feline-like eyes and fluffy, blonde hair.

Personality
She almost always act lazy and lethargic but she is very capable and competent when she puts her mind to something. Her father appreciates and admires her aggressive and fearless temperament which reminds him very much of his own father's temperament.

Background
She was born in Australia to a billionaire mining tycoon and she lived in luxury throughout her life. As the middle child of five siblings and the only girl among her siblings, she was spoiled by her parents, her two much-older elder brothers and her aunt who was born after her eldest brother. Due to her unique personality, Janet never really fell in love with anyone, even as a young girl. After her father began sending her on blind dates with sons of his business associates to get her married, she "ran away" from Australia and came to America where she studied finance at Columbia University.

At Columbia, she met Kathryn Bigelow and the two became best friends. After graduation, she followed Kathryn, who wished to pursue a career in Hollywood, to Los Angeles. Thanks to her family's trust fund, Janet didn't really need to work so she opened an art studio where she could pursue her hobby of painting and earn some extra money, as well.

Volume 1 (1986)
She came to pick up Kathryn, who had gone to San Francisco for some business, from a bus-stop in Burbank. There, she encountered Simon Westeros for the first time. After he introduced himself, she began asking him rapid-fire questions before he replied that he had just been discharged from a mental hospital while smiling innocently. She was left shocked and stunned. Although she usually considered herself to be slightly crazy, she became speechless after coming face-to-face with a true lunatic. After Simon confirmed that he had been cured, Kathryn bid him farewell and looked at her uncharacteristically quiet friend with a hint of schadenfreude.

A few days later, while returning from her art exhibition near Venice Beach with Kathryn, Janet saw Simon playing guitar to earn tips and sneaked towards him. After approaching him, she sneakily attempted to steal the only $10 bill among the heap of tips Simon had received. Suddenly, Simon stepped on her hand causing her to let out a scream. Kathryn appeared and apologized to Simon for her. Simon ignored her and began talking with Kathryn and even invited her to dinner. Suddenly, Janet pulled out a $100 bill and asked Simon to play a song if he wanted the tip. Simon began playing Flight of the Bumblebee on his guitar. After playing the song multiple times at increasing speeds, the crowd gave him a long applause.

Afterwards, he began to pick up his tips and she decided to help him. He picked up all the bills so she began picking up the numerous coins. Just as she finished picking up all the coins, she realized that Simon and Kathryn were busy talking while walking on by themselves. She suddenly felt annoyed and yelled at Simon to get his coins or else she would throw them into the water. Simon quickly apologized to her and took the coins from her. That evening, the three went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner.

A few weeks later, Janet was talking to Kathryn after they returned from a party. She reminded Kathryn to stay away from James Cameron who had been courting her the whole night despite the fact that he was married. Kathryn had a decent impression of James Cameron but she had also felt that he was a bit too flirtatious. While on the topic, Kathryn asked Janet her ideal boyfriend; Janet replied that her boyfriend must be handsome since looking at an ugly boyfriend would ruin her mood; younger than her so that he would be willing to do exciting things; more talented than her so that he could keep her fed; and slightly crazy so that the two could destroy the world together. Kathryn smiled and stated that Simon Westeros fulfilled all her criteria but Janet dismissed her by stating that she didn't want someone like Simon who acted calm and mature despite his youth; and claimed to be a lunatic even though he acted like a tender boy.

Suddenly, the phone began ringing and Kathryn picked it up only to hear that Simon had been hospitalized. Janet and Kathryn rushed to UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica around midnight. After entering the hospital with the police officer in-charge, Janet was stunned to see that the five young men who had assaulted Simon were all lying on stretchers with each having one of their legs broken and plastered. She became very excited at Simon's act of excessive violence. Suddenly, a few nurses brought Simon along on a stretcher when one of the five young men's mother attempted to attack Simon before Janet pushed her back. The woman claimed that they would sue Simon for attempted murder only for Janet to counter by stating the five young men were clearly the perpetrators and that Simon would be the one to sue them for attempted murder.

After realizing that it wasn't safe to leave Simon with the others, he was shifted to a private room. Watching Simon sleep, Janet began teasing him by touching his bare-chest when suddenly Simon unconsciously grabbed her wrist and Janet began wailing in pain. Soon, Simon's grip on her wrist got so tight that she began crying. Kathryn called the doctor for help who stated that it was just Simon's unconscious response to stress. Seeing his grip on Janet's wrist getting tighter and tighter, Kathryn slowly whispered in Simon's ears that he was now safe before he finally let go of Janet's wrist. Soon, she left to get some sleep at her art studio in Venice while Kathryn remained at the hospital to watch over Simon. Next morning, she arrived at the hospital and sent Kathryn to her studio to get some sleep. While she was having breakfast, Simon woke up and began making jokes. She was annoyed and began hitting with a pillow before he apologized.

While Simon was in the hospital, she found a house for him to rent, however, unlike his expectation of a 1-2 BHK apartment, she chose a three-bedroom, four-bathroom townhouse villa with a monthly rent of $2,700. When Simon stated that he was unwilling to sign the lease, Janet, shockingly, began crying and complaining that Simon was a cheapskate who had ignored her entire day's hard work in front of the doctor and the real estate agent. Finally, Simon was forced to sign the lease.
