Her eyes were green while her eyebrows were light-brown. Her nose is dark-pink. She had three big, dark-brown spots on her right shoulder and four as well on her rear hind leg, along with two beneath her eyes. The tip of her tail tuft was dark-brown.

Personality
She was very helpful to Kion and all other animals, she believed anyone can be healed and was very happy when she heard that the Roar of the Elders is back at the Tree of Life. She trusts Rani and the Night Pride very much and believed that Rani will be a very good queen despite her granddaughter's doubt in herself, assuring Rani that she had everything and everyone she needed to be a good queen.

Janna was wise, compassionate, and was much beloved by the animals of the Tree of Life, as many of them shed tears and mourned her passing. She looked past appearances and saw the virtues others had and that where it counts all are the same, citing Sisi ni sawa to Rani when she told Janna about Kion.

Journey of Memories
She, along with Rafiki, is seen waiting to meet Makini and her parents at the Tree of Life to confirm that Makini will become a Royal Mjuzi.

The Tree of Life
Queen Janna was sleeping in the Tree of Life, until her granddaughter, Rani came telling her of some strange visitors who came and that she and her team fought them off. The elderly queen praised her team for a job well done. She was also informed that the visitors were led by a lion with a scar and possessed a powerful roar that sent her brother flying. Upon hearing that, Janna claimed that the Roar has finally returned.

She convinces Rani that the Roar is a good thing, but her granddaughter was still skeptical. Then Janna says that we all have our scars, but deep down we're the same. Even though, Rani was still unsure. Janna says that everything will be clear soon and for her to welcome the new visitors.

The River of Patience
Queen Janna meets the Guard and quickly figures that Kion and his friends are from the Pride Lands and that Rafiki sent them. She understands that Kion and Ono came to be healed and called for Nirmala after she examined the two, Queen Janna informed them that they can be healed but it will take time. Meanwhile, she tells Rani to show the others around but when the young leader was unsure, the queen assured her that her brother can handle everything while she has her granddaughter take care of the duties she can not.

After the rest of the Guard leaves, she calls for Makini, whom she is happy to see and offers to help finish her training, to which the young mandrill happily agrees.
