#rtc theory

my idea is that ricky's first cat EVER (got her at three years old) was named savannah, but she died at an early age due to kidney failure. and she had the greenest eyes. ricky never got over the death of her and was absolutely heartbroken.

during rtc, ricky realizes that he needs to let go of the memory and not let it die along in a rollercoaster accident with him. he gives the name to jane, hoping that she will make good use of it.

The cyclone accident probably killed more people than the choir, more people were probably next to it and ended up also killed or hurt

What if Ezra was next to the cyclone waiting for Penny, but when the cyclone broke, one of the karts or rollercoaster parts fell on him, causing his death? And he and other victims had a seperated funeral from the choir?

Here’s my Jane Doe isn’t real theory<3

Apologies in advance because this is all over the place

First and foremost:

Karnak read the entire choir's hopes, thoughts, and dreams. The man knew everything about them down to their deepest secrets and you're saying that none of them even so much as had a passing thought about this “last-minute addition to the choir”?

You know Ocean's micromanaging ass would be all over that.

Plus Jane is nowhere to be seen in Fall Fair Suit, You’d think at the very least theird be a gap in the choreography where the 6th member of the choir should be but no.

So then how did “Jane Doe” come about?

I think there was a misprint in the newspaper. We already saw in the 2016 Chicago production that there was a misprint in the way that she was blotched out of the photo, so who’s to say it wasn’t supposed to originally just read “our 5 saints' “.

So now imagine you're in a small town that just went through a horrible tragedy and now the papers are telling you that it was actually 6 children who died. Not the 5 you knew. So who was this 6th kid? How did nobody know about them? And why are you only now hearing about them? Naturally, people are going to start to speculate and make up rumors

(Her story literary sounds like an urban legend your bother tells you to scare the shit out of you before you co to the fair)

Nobody was able to identify her because she was decapitated (how tf do you not find a whole ass head). No parents stepped forward to say their kid was missing or to claim the body. And the only person who would've known for certain, Father Markus, died of a heart attack 7 hr after the fact.

There are even inconsistencies in it. Karnak says himself “Some say she joined the choir at the last minute, others say she was never even in the choir at all”.

I think Karnak continued to read people's fortunes and learned about the rumor of a Jane Doe through them and just assumed they were true. Karnak probably assumed he just didn’t read this mystery 6th kid fortune and that's why he didn't know about her.

Flash forward to when Karnak's bringing the choir into temporary limbo. He gets the main 5s souls easily enough but the 6th? How do you bring back the soul of a girl that doesn't exist? You can’t, but you can unknowingly bring back some weird ass creature that’s been chilling around the carnival.

And so Karnak unknowingly created a Jane Doe, gave it a body in a stcassinas uniform, without a proper head that she had to substitute with a doll's head, Scripted her story and song based off of the little he knew, and bam. We got our Jane Doe, a girl with no clue what’s going on besides what Karnak scripted with a bunch of kids she doesn't know, and is left to figure out what’s going on right along with us.

Right off the bat the choir knows somethings wrong with their “mystery contestant” to the point that ocean straight up calls her a freaky monster and refers to her a a “thing”

She has the head of the doll( obviously), and she moves and walks like she’s never been in a body before. Her voice has an echo/ sounds almost disconnected from her body. And she flies around in her song and in the ESU production she even just straight up had a moment of telekinesis.

Meanwhile, The wildest thing about the choir is that Ricky can speak/ his disabilities are lessened

I've seen a lot of interpretations about why Jane wanted green eyes, but I don't think I've seen anyone bring up that green symbolises new beginnings.

Jane just wants to remember her life. She just wants a second chance.

Not to mention that the expression "green-eyed" literally means jealous. She's jealous of the other choir members, because at least they had a life, whereas she's stuck with no memories of hers.
