Janissary James

Summary
Janissary James, or Jan for short, is a character in I Love Bees. The daughter of a Spartan 1.0, she is the second stage of a failed experiment replaced by the SPARTAN-II project. She is a Spartan 1.1, having all the enhancements of a Spartan 1.0 but without the training. She was unaware of her enhancements for much of her life, until a particularly clever cop figured it out.

Jan meets Thin Kinkle
Thin Kinkle is a gangster that worked for Monster Ann and the Crystal Security mob. His and Jan's path cross when he attempted to kill an underling in a moons (pool) parlor, and Janissary James interviened. Not wishing a fight, he challenged her to a game of moons. Impressed by her skills, he offered to take her under his wing; she declined.

Later, Jan messed up a rape Kinkle had set up as a gang initiation test. Furious, he kidnapped and tortured her using a Cupid's Knife. The Knife would cause her pain if she felt anything but love for him. When Jan's father tried to rescue her, Kinkle killed him in front of her, and then turned on the Knife.

Jan meets Melissa
At James James's funeral Jersey approaches Jan and tells her that he had been secretly spying on her, and knew the conditions of her fathers death. He then tells Jan that he and Melissa would be able to help her get back at Thin. Jersey is then introduced to Gladys, who needs to be convinced of Melissa's authenticity.

Jan later, with her mother Gilly, launched an assault on the Crystal Security building to hunt down Kinkle. There were able to corner Kinkle and Monster Ann. In an attempt to be motherly and spare her daughter from having to kill, Gilly shot Kinkle and Monster Ann.

After the UNSC refused to let her join the Navy, she joined Melissa's vigilante group to deactivate the Deep-Space Artifact in Chawla Base. After the artifact had been deactivated, she was approached by another Spartan 1.1, Kevin who recruited her for an assault on the Covenant. Unfortunately, the Covenant fleet attacked Earth before they had a chance. Her current condition is unknown.
