Janet

Janet is a peer of Eliot and Josh, was in the Physical magic group, and becomes High Queen of Fillory. She is called "Janet Way" by another student in the first book, but "Janet Pluchinsky" by Dean Fogg in the second. She is outspoken and sometimes unkind, but fiercely loyal. She travels with the others to Fillory, where she becomes High Queen. During Eliot's absence, she tours the lands and writes a constitution. Her discipline involves cold magic, and in the third book she has a pair of ice axes she calls her "Sorrows." In an interview, Grossman describes her as being free with her anger in a way he wishes he could be and notes that she says the sorts of things he would want to.  Grossman has also noted that the discrepancy in her names is due to "operator error", in that he had forgotten that he'd revealed her last name and inadvertently renamed her.^[
