CR AU (Optional): N/A
Personality:
Empathetic: Jill has a way of empathize with people, whether she knows them, or not. Though these feelings are strongest when it's in regards to someone she loves or holds dearly. This is best shown by how she and Clive went through very similar circumstances for the 13 years after the tradgedy at Phoenix Gate, and the subsequent fall of Rosaria to the Empire. She is able to feel a similar pain and shame to his about being taken from their home and then, to add insult to injury, forced to serve the enemy in fighting their wars. This is what prompts her to become Clive's biggest support after he discovers the truth about who killed his brother, Joshua, and then for his mission later on. She pledges to stay by his side and no matter what happens, they will face it together.
When Jill and Clive make it to Martha's Rest and are asked to bring a donation to the abbey at Martha's request, she sees the curse that Bearers succumb to after using, or being forced to use, their powers too much. She hides it, but gets so upset that she leaves without a word after witnessing one of said Bearer's, final moments.
Then there's the plight of Bearers in general; how they're seen and treated as less than human. While at Martha's Rest, she overhears a conversation between two women, and a child and his mother who had just given birth to another son; who happened to be born a Bearer. The women offer their condolences over the fact that the child was born a Bearer and how horrible it must have been for the mother. The mother, meanwhile, expresses that she couldn't wait to be rid of him and had immediately turned him over to the constable, while the older son asks in fear if the baby is actually his brother. The mother is quick to assure him that the newborn is not and that he would soon have another little sibling.
Jill is not only shocked, but appalled over the fact that someone born a Bearer is condemned and dehumanized from the moment of their birth. She comments how she and Clive knew Bearers were treated badly, and were usually lower class citizens, she just had no idea it was
this bad.
The other side effect of this is that it makes her sympathetic to Cid's cause in wanting to make a world where everyone could live or die by their own terms, even if it meant destroying the Mothercrystals.
Vengeful: When word spreads that the leaders of Rosaria are dead, and the duchey is in chaos, the Ironbloods of the Iron Kingdom, swoop in to claim what they can before the Empire takes over. They kill the men and enslave the women, using them as playthings to have their way with.
Jill believes that will be her own fate until her powers as Shiva's Dominant awaken. Though she is seen as dirty by the Ironbloods, they force her to fight for them, kill innocents for them, or they will kill her countrymen, the other prisoners, most notibly children.
She especially despises the Patriarch for not only orchestrating all of this, but for the many Bearers he had ritually sacrificed to the Mothercrystal. She vows revenge on the Ironbloods, and especially the Patriarch for these crimes.
When she finally does take her revenge, she does so without hesitation after giving him an impassioned, nearly two decades worth of pent-up fury and trauma, snarling rant, being the angriest she ever gets in the story.
Self-deprecating: At the beginning of the game, when Clive's unit is ordered to kill Shiva's Dominant, they engage Jill in battle at the command of the Empire. Jill is so tired of being the Ironblood's weapon, that she wishes to die in losing that battle. Clive recognizes her though and refuses to kill her.
She's somewhat reckless throughout the game as well, pushing herself past the limit even though the curse's toll on her body worsens every time she Primes into Shiva.
There's a whole arc surrounding her while Jill, Clive, and their allies are carrying on Cid's mission to destroy the Mothercrystals in order to make a world free of magic that Bearers and Dominants can live freely and be treated as equals to non-Bearers. Because of what she was forced to do while enslaved by the Iron Kingdom and all the innocent lives she took, or changed for the worst, Jill sees herself as a monster. Not only do those things tarnish her view of herself, but there are also the lives of the other prisoners, her countrymen, who were murdered because of her unwillingness to serve as the Iron Kingdom's weapon, until she broke down and submitted.
At the Phoenix Gate, when Jill and Clive return, he says that she hasn't changed, and she disagrees saying she has, and that she doesn't want to be that person anymore.
Only with the death of the Patriarch, does Jill cut away the monster and truly start to live.
But her view of herself later takes another hit when she gives Clive her Eikon, believing he will need Shiva's powers to face Ultima. After she does this, according to Joshua, she feels herself less valuable to Cid's cause, as she no longer has the powers of an Eikon to contribute.
Cold: Though as a little girl, Jill freely expressed her emotions. Showing happiness when spending time with Clive and Joshua and shedding tears for Clive's safety when war approached and the Rosfields headed to Phoenix Gate.
When she was taken prisoner by the Iron Kingdom, Jill was convinced they would have their way with her and then dispose of her. With the only people she cared about believed dead, Jill lost hope and distanced herself from others. Worse so when her powers as Shiva's Dominant awakened and she was viewed as an abomination; until the Ironbloods didn't hesitate to use her as a weapon. She was forced to harden her heart and become cold and even more distant to cope with the atrocities she had to commit and the lives she took.
She generally keeps a very tight leash on her emotions and takes bad news coolly even in private, with only a few instances where she lets her feelings bubble up to the surface.
This is also actually portrayed with her character design; her adult versus child. Because of the suffering she endured, her adult form has a more severe face and mannerisms than her child. When she grows up, she has a very cynical view of Valistean society, though it's rightly earned.
Even after being saved and reunited with Clive, at least in the later parts of the game when she's not needed to pretend to be the master of a Bearer, she, at times, remains aloof, standing by for many of the events in silence showing little emotion and remaining placid save for feelings of calm bitterness and cynicism while Clive interacts with the people they encounter and flies off the handle left and right.
She definitely doesn't like to display vulnerability, never crying in public, and instead holding it in until she can find a place to be alone before letting the tears fall.
Jill does however, get pretty jealous when she, Cid, and Clive hide out in a brothel before going to destroy the Mothercrystal in Oriflamme.
Contrasting, at her core, she is kind, compassionate, and determined, providing emotional support to Clive when he's drowning in his own angst but due to thirteen years of suffering, she was made to hide and suppress this side.
Powers and Abilities: As the Dominant of Shiva, she has the ability to semi-prime (half-transform) or prime (fully-transform) into the Eikon, Shiva. She gains extraordinary powers over ice, but each time she primes it takes a huge toll on her body.
While fighting as Clive's companion, she still has ice powers, having the ability to conjure icicle spears, radial spikes, and drop large crystals of ice on enemies. She is also a capable swordswoman and can even heal in a pinch. She can conjure ice to obscure movement with mist, make bridges, tunnels, or even small things and freeze pretty much anything, even hot magma.
Inventory: Clothes, rapier, a few potions, white fabric and some sewing supplies.
