| == Appearance ==
| |
| Jane Read is depicted with a tan complexion and shaggy brown hair and wears a pink sweater over a white shirt, blue jeans, and white Velcro shoes with purple loops. Like her son Arthur, the white shirt she wears underneath the sweater is tucked into her pants. Originally, she had a long snout and was based upon an actual aardvark with the rest of her family in ''[[Arthur's Nose]]''. She and the other aardvarks were redesigned in ''[[Arthur's Eyes (book)|Arthur's Eyes]]'' that was published three years later. In the '80s, she and the other aardvarks had their snouts gradually shortened until it became flat. In the books, she wore different clothes of different colors.

| ===Past life===
| |
| Jane grew up near [[Unidentified Town]] on Grandpa Dave's Farm (inferred as her dad Grandpa Dave is said to have lived there for a long time). When Jane was a baby, she wore a pink dress with white cuffs, a white hair bow, and white shoes; but the diaper was covered by the skirt, although it is often likely cloth diapers since they were in favor when she and the people around her age and older were babies. During her high school years when she started dating David, she had longer hair and wore pink disco clothes with white boots that were fashionable between the late 1970s and early 1980s.

| ===Other Media===
| |
| | |
| In the [http://arthur.wikia.com/wiki/Living_Books Living Books] computer games, she had a light brown complexion and orange hair (and sometimes straight hair) in ''[http://arthur.wikia.com/index.php?title=Arthur%27s_Teacher_Trouble_(computer_game)&action=edit&redlink=1 Arthur's Teacher Trouble]'' and a light complexion and light brown hair in ''[http://arthur.wikia.com/index.php?title=Arthur%27s_Birthday_(computer_game)&action=edit&redlink=1 Arthur's Birthday]''. It was likely due to color and tone restrictions during the 16-bit era of computers and software. In those two games, she was voiced by [[Jennifer Hewitt]] before the cartoon show replaced her with Sonja Ball.
| |
| | |
| In the later games during the 32-bit era of computers and software such as ''[http://arthur.wikia.com/index.php?title=Arthur%27s_Thinking_Games&action=edit&redlink=1 Arthur's Thinking Games]'', her appearance was the same as she looks in the cartoon show.

| ==Personality==
| |
| | |
| Jane is quite caring and loving to her three children. Arthur always refers to her as "Mom", but D.W. usually refers to her as "Mommy", because D.W. is younger than Arthur. She wants the best for her children, such as making sure they keep their rooms clean. She is also the most talented at cleaning the house.
