Jill Sevoka

"I hear you."

— Jill to June

Jill Sevoka, born Jill Kitari, is the deuteragonist of Final Fantasy XVI. She is the primary antagonist of Act I.

Jill was born in Elzil of Edelia. As a result of her family selling her to a black market auction, she was transferred and abandoned to an orphanage at a young age. Jill found a new family at the age of ten, joining the Sevoka family and joining the Perila Patrol to bring peace and harmony to Edelia. After a chaotic event resulted in the loss of her best friend Jurisa, she was traumatized and mentally shutdown, joining the Edelian Empire to become one of the High Commanders of the Edelian Xreva.

Jill was guided towards the path of peace by June and her friends, and after her defeat, her traumatic experience and past causes her to a forge maniac and impulsive attitude towards life. She later begins to appreciate the company of her friends and falls in love to ease her traumatic injuries. During the course of the story, Jill eagerly seeks ways to regain a sense of redemption by protecting the people she wronged in the past.

Personality
Jill is irrational, impulsive, and distraught over her life choices. She is an overly aggressive and unhinged warrior who believes taking the lives of the innocents is justified. She conveys a large amount of her recklessness through her high-pitched and overly exaggerated voice, using it to goad or insult the people she loathes. Her personality is quite barbaric and insulting to those underneath her. She does not care for formality or cause for concern; as long as she feels the slightest bit upset, she will voice it out irrationally.
