Biography
Early Life
Janet while giving birth to Nomi.
Some time ago, Janet fell in love with Lawrence Marks. The two married, and when pregnant with her first child, she birth to Nomi through Caesarean section instead of natural birth at a San Francisco hospital. Janet gave birth to her second child, Teagan Marks, a few years later, and raised both of her children in a welcoming and loving family.[1]
Nomi's Transition
After an incident during her childhood, Nomi began her transition. Janet refused to accept her gender identity and continued to call her by her birth name "Michael" and using male pronouns.[2]
Teagan stayed at her house, while Nomi left after reaching her mid to late twenties. After Nomi left, Janet, while disappointed at Nomi's decision, still cared for her and allowed her to live her life freely.[3]
Meeting Dr. Metzger and Reunion with Nomi
After Nomi fainted during a Gay Pride parade, she was sent to a hospital in San Francisco. Janet and Teagan visited Nomi while she was unconscious. Before she and Teagan gained permission to see Nomi, they were confronted by Dr. Metzger whom informed them that Nomi has Undifferentiated Frontal Lobe Syndrome and that it was spreading across her brain. Metzger then told Janet that Nomi could die in six months unless he performs surgery in order to prevent the growth of the syndrome. Janet agreed with Metzger and allowed the surgery to take place after Nomi's consent.

After Nomi regained consciousness, Janet and Teagan were present in the room to greet her until the nurse walked into the room and accidentally referred to Nomi as "Michael," citing the mother disliked her name. After lecturing Nomi on how she should not ride motorcycles and how Amanita is not present, she was repeatedly demanded to leave. Janet complied but requested that she and Teagan not leave until Dr. Metzger informs Nomi about her condition.
After Metzger arrived and informed Nomi about her UFLS, Janet was once more told to leave after continuing to call her by her birth name. Before returning home, she signed the medical forms from Metzger to have Nomi undergo surgery for her diagnosed syndrome.[4]
Final Day before Surgery

Two days after signing the medical forms, Janet returned to check on Nomi. After Metzger asked Nomi questions about events she was not involved with, Metzger told his nurse that Nomi's disease has worsen and demanded surgery to be done immediately.
Before being sent out by the hospital staff, Janet said her farewells to Nomi. After Nomi escaped from the hospital, Janet was informed, presumably by the staff at the hospital, that Nomi has gone missing. Janet did not see Nomi again after her escape and continued to live her life with her daughter Teagan.[5]
