Jill is a member of the Destiny's Children and a former crush of Ben Hargreeves. Jill ultimately left behind an internship to join Klaus' cult. She made new friends like Keechie and was secretly admired by Ben's spirit. Unknowingly, she rejoiced with Ben, who was possessing Klaus' body. That was the last time she saw him before he left to return in 2019.
Background and History[]
Joining the Children of Destiny cult[]
Jill was offered an Albright scholarship to Berkeley, but declined the scholarship to join the Children of Destiny cult. Because of her choice, her parents refused to talk to her again. She and the other cult members followed Klaus worldwide and traveled via bus.[citation needed]
Klaus' Fraudulence[]
Klaus soon gathered his followers and admitted that he was a fraud and that everything they believed in was fake. But Jill and the others took it wrong and admitted that they were also frauds. Soon after, Jill brought Dave to Klaus.[1]
Interaction with Ben[]
Later that week, Jill saw Ben (in Klaus' body) making snow-angles in the dirt. Excitedly, she joined him in the activity. Jill gave Ben strawberries, and they chatted for a while. She let him smell her hair, and soon Jill suggested that they have sexual intercourse, which Ben refused. Jill started kissing him, but they were soon interrupted by Diego, who had come to get Klaus, and Jill was displeased that Ben had left.[2]
Personality[]
Jill is a very unique and sweet person. As naive as she is, she is very clever and kind. She has an adventurous personality. She idolizes Klaus for his "scriptures" and is loyal to him, treating him like a liege. She was given a scholarship at Berkeley, which hints that she may be very smart and clever. As smart as she is, she has some quirks that make her stand out among the rest. She has a bright personality and loves participating in fun and weird activities. She's a great people person.

Relationships[]
Ben[]
Ben showed a special interest in her. While Klaus didn't even acknowledge her existence, Ben knew everything about her. They interacted for a while, and Jill even suggested they have sexual intercourse, but Ben hesitated, cognizant that she only saw him as Klaus. Jill was very nice to him, and they complimented each other. But she thought it was very unbecoming of him to leave.
Klaus[]
Jill is a devoted follower of Klaus. She memorized all of his Vedas and pored herself over his "teachings." She has even committed every part of his body to her memory. She gave up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just so she could follow him all over the world. She is very dedicated to him, even though he doesn't recognize her or even know she exists.
