### Jill Horner: Once Upon A Time...

There was an orphan girl who had a twin brother*.* Jack and Jill were as close as siblings were, but were also very different. Where Jack was always wanting to cheat and use tricks to get what he wanted, Jill was never one to see out trouble...but even though she regularly chastised her brother for his reckless risks, Jill always got caught up in them.

She justified it to herself as being tricked into helping by Jack or having to help for fear of Jack getting himself killed, but the truth was that Jill had no explanation for why she was always following Jack. She just did.

At a young age, Jill proved herself to be a very rational and wise girl when she wasn't caught up in Jack's schemes. Even outside of the Sprats, Jill was recognized as having an uncanny mind. She picked up skills with ease and seemed able to pull insight out of nowhere. Many people from neighboring communities would seek Jill's advice. When Jack realized he could use Jill's knowledge to his own ends, it would lead him to finding a clue to their mysterious lineage and take the twins onto a series of adventures, first to confront their royal father and then to prove they were not mere commoners and were worthy of his royal attention.

After a trip to another realm, in which the twins returned with great wealth, an argument erupted between the two as how best to use it. Jill wanted to forget their father and use the money to live a comfortable life, but Jack's pride was still sore. The Snow Queen used this schism between the two to turn Jack against Jill. As Jill stepped away to calm down after Jack had said some cruel things to her, the Snow Queen whisked Jack and the twins' riches away in her magic sleigh.

After a long and perilous journey, Jill was able to make her to the Far North to infiltrate the Snow Queen's castle, where she found her brother imprisoned but in a magical stupor. Seeing her brother this way after she had come so far, Jill became emotional. When she failed to stir him with her words alone, she teared up and wept with her brow resting on his. As her tears dropped from her eye and fell on him, her magic broke Jack from mystical fugue and also melted the magic ice put on his heart which caused Jack to run away with the Snow Queen in the first place.

The two had a number of other adventures before the two ended up back in the Iron Realm. However, as it was soon overrun by the Sheeda (Which the twins accidentally aided), the twins joined the Little Resistance against the otherworldly invaders. But the Sheeda proved to be more relentless than any Fable could truly imagine.

The Little Resistance was broken and in the chaos, Jack and Jill would be torn apart. In a heated battle, Jack fled and was pursued by the great hunter King Melmoth, forcing him to go far south and hide his identity. Jill, meanwhile, was among the Fable freedom fighters afforded a chance to escape to a new world by the Big Bad Wolf.

Jill took the offer, signed the Fabletown Compact, and even joined a band. But still, Jill felt guilty about having abandoned her brother. After years without her brother to bring trouble to her, Jill decided to go looking for trouble. She found her way back to the Homelands and got busy looking for her brother. When she returned, Jill was accompanied by Jack. Of course, how she saved his ass is a tale for another time. **[see Supplemental Report for more information on this]**

### Supplemental Report

* (*Submitted by Herald*) **How Jill Saved Jack's Ass:** When she returned to the Homelands to find her brother, she struggled for years until she found a stable in Toscane. Though the coachman there did not recall having seen her brother, a donkey in one of the stalls cried out to Jill, wanting to know if her brother was called Lampwick. Jill questioned the donkey and learned that he was once a boy called Pinocchio who had been tricked into attending a festival with Lampwick. The party was a trap laid by the Sheeda to capture Lampwick. Pinocchio only barely escaped until he was captured by his stable handlers. Needing his help to find her brother, Jill bought the donkey and used her tears to cure his condition. Pinocchio then helped her find Jack, who was being kept in Melmoth's personal stable. When Jill finally found her brother, she laughed so hard she cried. Jack quickly licked up those tears and together they escaped.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Fable Physiology:**
	+ **Immortality & Resurrection:** Like most Fables, Jill's vitality is tied to her popularity. Though not as popular as her notorious brother (even if she was a reluctant sidekick for most of her adventures), Jill is still difficult to put down by violent means.
	+ **Royal Blood:** Jill's blood has magical properties. She can charm and communicate with humans and animals with equal ease. Unlike her brother, Jill's blood does not seem able to hold more effects. In fact, hers seems to counter magic. Her tears carry this same effect and are known to be able to dispel some kinds of magic.
* **Skills:** Jill prefers to use wisdom rather than wits.
	+ **Combat:** Jill inherited her father's skill with blades.
	+ **Lore:** Jill knows a lot of occult and mundane trivia, even having insight into things she can't explain.
	+ **Music:** Jill is a gifted singer and drummer.
	+ **Will:** Jill has an ironclad resolve when determined.

### Weaknesses

* **Brother's Keeper:** Jill has an unusual compulsion to be near her twin brother, even when doing so goes against her best interests. She can resist it, but only for so long. If forced to be apart for days at a time, Jill becomes increasingly irrational, reckless, and violent.
* **Magical Immunity:** Jill is basically immune to magical effects that would affect her body or mind directly, even if the effect would be beneficial.
