Personality:

(+) compassionate, open-minded, forgiving

Jill truly cares about people and would do whatever she can to help someone out-be it offering a shoulder to cry on, trying to give advice (key word: trying), or keeping someone company if they were lonely. She also tries to keep an open mind and is willing to try anything new at least once. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? At least that's what she believes. Lastly, true to her last name, she can't hold a grudge and believes in giving others second chances and forgiving them if they wrong her. Of course, this only goes so far; if what they've done is severe enough, such as killing an innocent being, then there are no more chances for them.  

(N) laid-back, skeptical of others (at first), rational

She's pretty laid-back in most situations-only combat and tough times make her react more seriously than usual. She's non-confrontational and prefers to go with the flow whenever she can. When it comes to new people, she prefers to keep herself emotionally distant. It's not that she's afraid of people-if anything, she can be quite social when she wants to be-it's just that she doesn't want to hurt/upset others or vice versa. She can also be a rational individual in combat, thinking about how to effectively take down a Kishin and how to take advantage of her surroundings if needed.

(-) stubborn, secretive, clingy (somewhat)

True to her Aries zodiac sign, she's pretty stubborn-particularly when it comes to seeking help from others, both in combat and with her personal life, because she doesn't want to bother others with her problems, preferring to resolve them herself. This does have its advantages, such as when she was paired with her first partner and managed it make it almost a fifth of the way to Death Scythe status mostly on her own, but it can also make things worse in difficult times. If she's in a fight with a powerful Kishin and gets injured, she will keep pushing despite the risks of further injury or death. Along with her stubbornness, she won't talk about herself that much-only enough that's appropriate for a first meeting. If something bothers her, she won't admit it. Finally, when she gets attached to someone, she's reluctant to change that. Just look at her heart chart for proof. It says more than she'll ever admit-at the moment, she's only particularly close to her current partner, and part of her is content with this. Of course, she needs and wants to be more social with others-she just needs to do it. 


Backstory:

Jill was born and raised in Maryland as the only child of two Ariados Meisters who both attended the DWMA in their youth, Michelle and Holland Redeem. Her father graduated after successfully helping his partner become a Death Scythe, and her mother was only a witch's soul away from graduation when she got pregnant with Jill and had to drop out. Unlike most parents, they had no problem with telling her about their pasts as Meisters and were incredibly hopeful that she had inherited the Meister gene and would follow in their footsteps. Unfortunately, they had no way to actually test whether or not she was a Meister because no one they knew in the area was a weapon and she didn't connect well with the other children in the area. They taught her about a Meister's abilities and purpose, but they ultimately decided to raise her like a normal child until either she started seeing souls or an opportunity arose for her to attempt wielding a weapon. Whichever came first.

Fortunately for them, when Jill was about 9, her father's former partner, a shiny Banette named Marquis, decided to pay his old friend a visit with his son, Spyro. While the grownups reunited, the two children met and quickly befriended each other. Within only a few hours, he showed Jill a neat trick he learned from his father: he transformed into a pair of nunchucks and dropped straight into her unsuspecting hands. She freaked out and ran to tell the adults about what happened to her friend, but they weren't concerned. If anything, her parents were ecstatic that she was a Meister just like them. The adults encouraged the children to study and hone their abilities together while either Marquis or Holland would teach them, depending on who was available.

Jill learned everything she needed to know about being a Meister slowly but surely over the years, especially with her Soul Perception ability kicking in when she was around 14. She and Spyro also grew closer and closer as they trained together, learning how to synchronize their souls and became the best of friends. However, due to financial difficulties, Spyro had to move away right before she turned 18. Before he left, he told her about the DWMA and his dream for the both of them to go there together one day. While he admitted that his dad wanted him to wait and get a little older and more confident in his individual skills before applying, he encouraged her to apply as soon as possible. On her 18th birthday, she announced her plans to apply to DWMA and set off for Death City, Nevada a few months later.

Update: A lot's changed for the spider child in a year. Spyro passed away after being diagnosed with and suffering from leukemia. The loss has devastated her, but she won't admit it to anyone. It's also given her more motivation to make a Death Scythe than ever before. With the announcement of the recently created Athene class, she vowed to become the best Meister. For Spyro.  

Update: Now she's a Death Scythe and kicking ass in Athene. She misses her partner.

Extras!
 Jill's theme song
She has a weakness for cute things-plushes, Pokemon, anything. Get her a plush and expect a happy squeal and a hug in return.
 She also has a pretty big plush collection
 Her favorite food is tacos
Her favorite colors are green and black
 She doesn't understand the fear of spiders and bugs in general. Of course, she is one, so...
Her Soul Perception is actually pretty weak. It can tell her whether a soul belongs to a witch (surrounded by a purple glow), a Kishin (surrounded by a red glow), or a normal soul (one belonging to a Meister, a weapon, or someone without either ability-surrounded by a blue glow) and tell her where it is if she's near it, almost functioning like a radar. However, it can't tell her anything beyond what's been previously described, and if a lot of one type of souls (at least 10) are in one area, it will overwhelm her and she won't be able to see anything other than those souls. At least she can activate it on command now.
She seems to have a preference for Ghost-type weapons...
Like real-life spiders, she has blue blood!
