supporting
Also known as Jane, Lady Greystoke
First appearance: The Golden Lion
As a supporting figure in Tarzan and the Golden Lion, Jane Clayton is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Travels with Tarzan and Korak; expresses hope and excitement upon seeing the restored bungalow.
Lady Greystoke commands the boma in Tarzan's absence, and her calm under Flora's sudden appearance and Luvini's shrieking horde is the discipline Tarzan drilled into his Waziri. She recognizes Flora instantly and knows the woman's story does not quite fit, yet shelters her anyway. Her decision to fight rather than surrender the whites sets the early arc in motion and shows why the jungle estate holds together without its lord.
