Dry, observant, and emotionally guarded, Jill uses sarcasm to keep people at a distance. Grief and guilt surrounding her former partner Lenore shape her reluctance to pursue intimacy or change.

Jill has no combat powers; her professional skill is mixing drinks that influence conversations and earnings. Her relationships with boss Dana, coworker Gillian, cat Fore, and recurring customers gradually help her confront isolation and rebuild a sense of home.
