Janelle is the daughter of Carl and Evelyn Corey of New York City in Shadow Earth. Her mother, an executive with a Fortune 500 company was away much on business, as was her father, who was a mercenary soldier. Consequently, Janelle spent most of her life in boarding school.
When she was nine, a man showed up with all the necessary proof that he was her uncle and her mother's permission to visit. Janelle's life was never quite the same after meeting uncle Benedict. He took her under his wing and taught her the things she needed to know "to be safe", recognized her potential as a warrior and trained her for that as well. Completely without Corwin's knowledge.
After Janelle finished college, Benedict took her to walk the Pattern, her only visit to date to Amber. A year later, he set her to training armies in shadow. It was almost as if he forsaw a need for them.
At Patternfall, Janelle was one of the Generals in charge of the main forces. When Corwin realized who she was, he was more than a little annoyed to find his daughter on a battlefield in a place she shouldn't even know about.
Needless to say, the two aren't on real good terms at the moment.
Janelle's personal symbol is a rose argent, impaled on a sword or, pommeled and hilted azure.
