But also for Baby Doll, its scary because its a 30-year-old woman acting like a 7-year-old.
Originally named Kay Challis, Jane suffered a deep and destructive trauma at a young age.

so that survive, Kay developed these other personalities to protect herself.
One of the personalities, Driver 8, is the conductor responsible for operating the mental subway.

Her personality split as a defense mechanism, as a survival tactic.
I think the show does that beautifully, to walk you through Janes emotions and her ups and downs.
One minute shes very positive and wants to help the team out, and other times shes debilitated.
Doom Patrolis overflowing with colorful and chaotic ideas.
Awful, strange, and inexplicable thingsdohappen.
Its mirroring what is going on presently.
But, as seen in the episode Therapy Patrol (have you figured out the episode-naming system yet?
Thats the missing part from what we see now.
We dont see people dealing with their s.
Jane Patrol hits DC Universe this Friday.
