Janey Springs is a junk dealer, and is a supporting character in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Tales from the Borderlands.

Background

Janey runs a junk dealing business on Elpis, called "Springs' Emporium O Stuff", located in the city of Concordia. She also writes "children's books" in her free time, which are inspired by events happening around her. Janey is also a lesbian, as she often states her disinterest in men, as well as trying to hit on Athena and Moxxi.

Involvement

While searching for some junk, Janey spots a moonshot rocket heading for her location, fired from Helios. She makes contact with the Vault Hunters inside, then proceeds to help them adapt to Elpis' environment. After giving them an Oz kit, she enlists their help in killing Deadlift, who has stolen her digistruct key for her Moon Zoomy station. Later on, Janey goes back to Concordia, where her shop is located, and continues to offer side missions.

Athena states in Claptastic Voyage that the only reason she took another job with Handsome Jack was to earn money to support herself and Janey in their new home in Hollow Point.

In Tales from the Borderlands, while Fiona and Sasha are attempting to flee from Athena, they try to enter Scooter's garage. Athena begs them not to go in the garage, due to Janey being in there, but Fiona and Sasha enter anyways, out of fear for their lives. Athena enters very shortly after and Janey kisses her on the cheek. Fiona and Sasha inform Janey that Athena was chasing them and attempting to murder them. Janey tells them that she couldn't have due to Athena promising her that she was done with being a bounty hunter. Athena tells Janey that they must have just thought that she was following them. Sasha and Fiona leave shortly after. (This is a determinant scene and only occurs if the player chooses to go to Old Haven as Rhys. Depending on player choices, Janey can find out to her anger that Athena is lying, or she can remain completely oblivious.)

In Episode 5, if Fiona told Janey that Athena still loved her in Episode 3, then she will be available for use in the final battle. Her attack on The Traveler consists of kicks and firing jets into The Traveler's face.
