History

Janet Murdoch McCarty was the first of the McCarty triplets born in PA. She was anxious and determined to be the best and brightest, even from a young age; frequently trying to stick out from her siblings, and defining herself as distinct among the McCarty children. She hadn’t Erin’s expectations shoved on her, or Mikayla’s girliness, or Caleb’s open love for animals and the environment, instead she was unusually bright — operating at genius levels according to her teachers, although her true genius was never allowed to foster, not in a blue collar family. Despite that, she worked hard to succeed in school, and always had her nose in a book, even during her child starlet phase. She found her niche among her nerdier, bookworm peers, and developed a keen interest in comics and the like, although, this remained a closet hobby for fear of ridicule from her siblings.

While Mikayla played with Barbie’s, Janet played with a chemistry set. While Caleb enjoyed the outdoors, Janet looked for any excuse to visit the doctor — only to play with the tools and equipment found in the hospital. All-in-all she was fascinated by processes and instruments the doctors used. She loved talking to doctors, scientists, and chemists.

While she never had stars in her eyes, Janet was pushed to succeed in school. Neither of her parents dreamed she’d become a famous actress nor did she have an interest in doing so. Instead she developed a keen interest in science — biology, chemistry, physics — all of the sciences had their appeal in her eyes. And she succeeded at all three. She had a knack for science, particularly biology, and was fascinated by human processes of evolution.

As the eldest of the triplets, she found herself often serving as a den mother of sorts for her (slightly) younger siblings, and a natural rival for her elder sister; not that the two fought all of the time, but growing up, Janet was always competing for attention. This was even more frustrating because of the lack of attention she received from her parents (her mother in particular). With four children, one of which was a rising star, Olivia had little time left for her other children, particularly a daughter who loved very unusual things in her mother’s eyes.

Fortunately, when the time came to spread her wings, Janet had the choice of several post-secondary schools; she got in everywhere she applied and managed to receive a full scholarship for her undergraduate degree to boot. This delighted her and she left her family home as quickly as possible; intending to never deal with her parents’ demands and sister’s fame again. And so she went to Berkley. She managed excellent grades, although avoided most relationships in the course of doing so. Yet some friends remained; these were her study mates — all of which got into med school, together.

Shortly before she went to medical school, Janet and her older sister got into a rather large fight, which has created a drift in the family. Janet hasn’t seen any of her family since the incident, choosing to branch out on her own as Dr. Janet Murdoch ‘Doc’ McCarty.

She managed to get into St. John Hopkin’s medical school — completing her residency under the advisement of excellent doctors. Graduating at the top of her class, she quickly became known as a world class physician. While completing her genetics rotation, she was summoned for government service to see to the medical needs of terrorists apprehended by the United States government. She doesn't really know the crimes the terrorists have committed, but she's a doctor and does her job to the best of her ability.
