synonyms for 'out of character'

Hi! Is there other ways I could say 'in a way that is unlikely or abnormal for someone' or 'out of character for someone'? For example, can you say something like 'in a very un-Jane-like manner' or is it completely wrong? Thanks!

Thank you for the alternative ways and thank you for your answer. I suppose my case is informal enough to use the original sentence, let's hope I'm right!
