Jane is the matriarch of the [[Jetsons]], a family from the year 2062 (or sometime in the distant future). Although a typical housewife, she does very little work due to all the futuristic appliances that are either automated or require the single push of a button. Despite this, she hired a robot maid called [[Rosie]] to help out with the chores.

Jane Jetson is one of the main characters of the Jetsons animated franchise. Her voice was originated by Penny Singleton.

Jane is the matriarch of the Jetsons, a family from the year 2062. Although a typical housewife, she does very little work due to all the futuristic appliances that are either automated or require the single push of a button. Despite this, she hired a robot maid called Rosie to help out with the chores.

Character description

Jane has a slender body with medium-length red hair. Unlike her husband, she has a small nose. She also wears red-pink lipstick, and wears a purple dress with a white triangular shaped collar.

In terms of personality, Jane is a caring mother of her family. Since she is a homemaker in the future, she spends most of her days taking care of the household using its plentiful gadgets. Her favorite pastime involves shopping for new appliances and fashion. Although she loves both her family and George, Jane is a dutiful wife who always tries to make life as pleasant as possible for the two of them.
