Jan. She suffers from middle child syndrome. She's always living
in her sisters' shadow. Everyone thinks of her as Marcia's younger
sister or Cindy's older sister.
Of course, most of Jan's paranoia is in her mind, though
Marcia Brady is a tough act to follow. Clark Tyson sees Jan
as a "good guy" but flips for Marcia. Jan thinks it's her
freckles, but learns that it's just the way she dresses. Her
buddy, Lucy Winters accidentally calls Jan Marcia on a party
invitation, and Jan thinks the solution is to get new hair.
Of course, the hair isn't her problem at all. Everybody envies
Jan's long blonde locks. But Jan, like any insecure teenager,
has to suffer through glasses and braces, and like most kids
has an awkward stage where she looks "positively goofy."
Jan eventually gains confidence, and although she'll never
be the cheerleader that Marcia is, she is liked enough to
be voted most popular girl at Fillmore Jr. High. Even though
Jan has announced that she wishes she was an only child, she
really loves all her siblings, (including Marcia).
