Character Profile | Jill Valentine

Jill Valentine
"You were almost a Jill Sandwich!"

Statistics

Age: Technically 37/38 years old now being born in 1974, but she is definitely not showing her age.

Species: Human, of the female variety, or at least what she started off as, since she has been enhanced in many ways by the Uroboros virus, including speed and strength, but she never lost her consciousness, you could say that she’s the perfect MILF.

Location: There isn’t a single location that Jill is specifically located at. She started off in Racoon City and has since been in many places around the world including an enemy base in Russia, and Kijuju, a place somewhere in Africa.

Background: Nothing is known about Jill’s birth, but it is known that before joining S.T.A.R.S she was training to be in the U.S Army. It’s assumed that Racoon City is her birthplace.

Main Features: Jill is a gorgeous woman with assets that any man would love. She was originally a brunette with short hair, but that hair slowly grew longer and by the time that Resident Evil 5 came around, she was a buxom blonde with pale skin and different 'enhancements' around her body. Some would say blonde doesn’t suit her, but most men wouldn’t be looking at her hair with the body she has on her.

Clothing: One thing that’s consistent about Jill’s clothing is that it’s always primarily blue. In the first game she has a standard S.T.A.R.S uniform that consists of a blue shirt, trousers, boots and shoulder pads, and to top it off she wears a beret that never falls off. In Resident Evil 3, she starts to get a bit sexy, wearing a blue boob-tube complete with a black mini skirt with a small white shirt wrapped around and boots that almost touch her knees -- perfect attire for fighting your way out of a zombie-infested city, obviously. In later games she wears skin tight suits that really shows of her ass-ets, and boy does she like to carry them guns!

Concept

Jill was originally in training for the U.S Army’s Delta Force programme, of which she received high grades for her skills in bomb disposal. She later became a member of the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, alongside Chris Redfield, Barry Burton, Joseph Frost, Brad Vickers and Albert Wesker. During an investigation on disappearances and cannibalism in the Arklay Mountains in Racoon City, S.T.A.R.S Bravo Team were sent in to investigate and ended up going missing themselves. The Alpha Team was then sent into the mountains to investigate and that’s where the horror started.

After the entire Racoon City incident, Jill became a part of the BSAA along with Chris Redfield who had been her partner from then. Together in 2003 -- 5 years after escaping Racoon City -- Jill and Chris, along with the help of other BSAA members, took Umbrella down after infiltrating a Russian base. After this, Chris and Jill were still part of the BSAA, trying to investigate the whereabouts of Wesker, and when they finally found him, tried to take him down, but this would seemingly spell an early end to Jill’s life.

From the first Resident Evil, Jill is known -- thanks to Barry -- as the master of lock-picking. She also has the easier root in the original Resident Evil, with a higher inventory capacity and Barry to help her along the way. She also may have had a boyfriend since when Leon collects an item from Jill’s desk in Resident Evil 2 he notes that there’s a picture of her with a man (Jill however doesn’t acknowledge this in the same situation), so the chances of us ever seeing her with one of the main characters could be very slim.

Appearances

As mentioned earlier, Jill has had many appearances in the Resident Evil series, and with every game she got better and better. She’s also had appearances outside the series with the Marvel vs Capcom games, as well as a name-only cameo in Dead Rising with a cafe called Jill’s Sandwiches. She has also appeared in the Resident Evil movies, although with an almost completely different personality.

• Resident Evil (PSOne, GC, DS)
• Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PSOne, PC, GC, PSN)
• Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)
• Resident Evil 5 (PS3, PC, X360)
• Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D (3DS)
• Resident Evil: Revelations (3DS)

Best Appearance

As a young and sexy 23/24 year old, Jill appeared with legs that could kill in Resident Evil: Nemesis. With the horribly mutated nine-foot tall Nemesis following her every move, Jill had to find a way out of Racoon City to escape the zombie horror. With help from Carlos Oliveira, she fought off the Nemesis, eventually escaping in a helicopter piloted by none other than Barry Burton. The game was originally released on the PlayStation and eventually made its way to the GameCube, and there are also levels in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, showing the story from a different perspective.

Do Not Mention...

Albert Wesker, the main antagonist in the Resident Evil series and the one that almost caused Jill’s death on countless occasions. Not to mention that he used her in an experiment that eventually perfected the Uroboros virus. To put the icing on the cake, he used a mind control device to get her to fill the town of Kijuju with the virus and attempt to kill her trusted partner Chris Redfield, who thought that she was killed by Wesker during a mission.
