Jillian "Jill" Mastrano Dragomir is a royal moroi and the illegitimate daughter of the late Eric Dragomir and Emily Mastrano, and the half-sister of Lissa and André Dragomir.

Biography[]

She lives with her mother and stepfather in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She attended St. Vladimir's originally, although she, Eddie, Sydney, and Adrian are all sent undercover to a human boarding school in Palm Springs called Amberwood Preparatory School in order to protect her from Moroi rebels who want to remove her in order to invalidate her sister's rule.

Appearance[]

Jill's appearance is typical of Moroi girls: tall, slender, with a small bust and very pale skin. She is not quite six feet tall, but because she is so slim, she appears taller. Jill has long brown hair and very large jade green eyes, the same color as Lissa's. She is initially very clumsy and awkward, but as time goes on, she becomes much more capable and confident, even modeling for a short time.

Personality[]

She is introduced as a gawky, shy girl who is notorious for talking in long strings without taking a breath. She is incredibly innocent and pure of heart. She is also "smart and strong and beautiful," according to Eddie Castile.

Jillian is determined, as she is among a small number of Moroi who want to learn how to fight. She is also loyal to her friends, as she told Christian that Lissa had cheated on him. She is surprisingly mature for her age at times, such as when she agreed to go to the Royal Court in order to give Lissa quorum. Along with this maturity, she is also shown to be wise beyond her years.

She is protective of Adrian due to the bond, as when he was trapped in Long Beach, she pleaded with Sydney to go get him, and she also got angry at Sydney when she denied her feelings for Adrian. Jill becomes upset and jealous when she finds out that Eddie is dating Angeline, but when they found out that Angeline had been cheating on him with Trey, Jill comforted him.

Appearances[]

Vampire Academy Series[]

Shadow Kiss[]

Jillian asks Rose to teach her how to fight the old-fashioned way, but Rose declines and suggests that she ask Christian to teach her to fight with magic instead. Jill is starstruck when she meets Rose and is seen to be very giddy and pleased to have met the famous Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov. During the fight with the Strigoi, it is her concern for Jill and other students like her that prompts Rose to go with Christian to the elementary campus to defend it.

Blood Promise[]

In Blood Promise, Jill learns how to fight from Christian, and Lissa reluctantly agrees to take Jill with her to Court, where she meets Mia, a fellow water user. When she witnesses Lissa (who was under Avery’s control) drunkenly kissing Aaron, she tells Christian because she doesn't want him to be taken advantage of.

Spirit Bound[]

In Spirit Bound, Jill is first seen at Rose's graduation/mark ceremony party with Christian, with whom she seems to have become semi-close. She is then seen leaving the academy with her mom for the summer. She waves to Rose, who then helps her with the boxes and meets her mother.

Last Sacrifice[]

A little while after Rose finds out that Jill is Lissa's biological half-sister and the biological daughter of Eric Dragomir, she then appears at her house in Detroit, Michigan, and tells Jill that her stepfather is not her dad. Jill tells her she knows that, and Jill's mother gets very shaky when they are close to telling the truth. Jill then finds out that her father was Eric Dragomir and asks her mom why they didn't tell her. She lets Rose stay the night, but when her stepfather calls guardians on Rose and the gang, she gets kidnapped by Victor Dashkov and his brother. They don't let her sleep because of her ability to be pulled into spirit dreams. Later, Rose, Dimitri, and Sonya find her at a motel with Victor. Sonya goes to get Jill and brings her to the car while the others fight. After Victor Dashkov is killed, she is in a hotel room with Sonya and then goes to the Palace with them. She arrives at court just after Lissa gives her speech, and Rose shocks Lissa as well as the crowd when she announces that Jill is Lissa's half-sister and the illegitimate child of Eric Dragomir. Later, she is seen with Lissa and Rose, where they ask her if she'll be a part of Lissa's coronation ceremony. She is again seen standing next to the throne at the coronation. As she's placing the custom-made crown on Lissa's head, Rose notes that she is dressed in a way that complements Lissa's coronation gown.

Bloodlines Series[]

Adrian's Lost Chapter[]

Jill wishes Adrian a happy birthday. Later in the conversation, she asks Adrian to come to dinner with her. Adrian almost declines because Lissa, Christian, Emily, John, and his ex-girlfriend Rose will be there. Adrian accepts the invitation because he doesn't want Jill to face them all alone. Jill is ecstatic about this.

Bloodlines[]

In Bloodlines Jill is first seen in Clarence Donahue's living room with Adrian, Eddie, Rose, and Ibrahim. Lee flirts with her upon seeing her, and she doesn't know it. She poses as Eddie and Sydney's sister and gets enrolled in a boarding school. Her first day of school was bad because her teacher sent her back to her dorm for being hungover. Due to the effects of being shadow-kissed, it's actually Adrian who is hungover, but because of the bond, it's passed on to Jill. She meets Micah when the two are introduced by Eddie as his roommate and sister. Micah develops a crush on her immediately. When Micah sees her struggling in volleyball because of the sun. He switches teams to help her and tells her to get a note so she won't struggle as much.

Throughout the whole Bloodlines series, Jill hasn't had the best high school experience due to the fact that she is being educated by humans in a human boarding school. Being in a human school isn't exactly ideal for a vampire, but through friendship and support, Jill gets through the long school days. Jill finds it hard to live with the fact that she can see through Adrian's eyes (one of the perks of a spirit user bringing you back from the dead), but still manages.

The Indigo Spell[]

The Fiery Heart[]

Jill's time with boys is very limited. First, she was dating a fellow moroi, Lee, but sadly, their relationship ended when Lee wanted to retain his original state as a Strigoi and "awaken" Jill so they could be together forever. Lee died, and she moved on with a human, Micah, but he didn't know she was another species, so Jill eventually decided to call the relationship off. After doing so, Jill realized what a great guy Eddie was. But Eddie was dating Angeline at the time, but that didn't work out, and at the end of The Fiery Heart, Jill kissed Eddie.

Silver Shadows[]

After that, in the end of the fifth book, Silver Shadows, Jill told Eddie to go with Adrian to help find Sydney, and then after that, to come back to her. He kept that promise, but a couple of days after being back with Jill, she went missing.

The Ruby Circle[]

At the beginning of The Ruby Circle, Jill has been missing for a month. Sydney, Eddie, and Ms. Terwilliger go after her, eventually learning that she has been kidnapped by Alicia and given to the Warriors of Light, intended to be executed. However, she is rescued by Sydney, Adrian, Eddie, Rose, Neil, Dimitri, and other guardians and alchemists. She and Eddie kiss. In the epilogue, it is revealed that she is currently living at Court and is in a relationship with Eddie.

Relationships[]

Relatives[]

Emily and John Mastrano[]

She was raised by her mother Emily and her stepfather John Mastrano, and she appears to be close to both of them. However, she comments that her mother did not put up much of a fight when it was suggested that Jill go into hiding.

Vasilisa Dragomir[]

Jill and Lissa are half-siblings, but they are not close. Lissa at one point thought that Jill was crushing on her boyfriend, Christian, and is still uncomfortable about her father's infidelity. While they were somewhat cordial to each other at the end of Last Sacrifice, Jill is sent away to Palm Springs for her protection before they can get to know each other better. Jill clearly wants to have a better, more sisterly relationship with Lissa. Lissa also comments that after the hereditary law is passed, she wants to get to know Jill better.

Romances[]

Lee Donahue[]

When at Palm Springs, Jill takes a liking to Moroi Lee Donahue, in spite of her initial chagrin about Sydney trying to set her up with him. They went on a chaperoned date to a mini-golf course, and Jill once snuck off campus to hang out with him. Jill was devastated when she discovered that Lee was dead.

Micah Vallence[]

Jill has a romantic relationship with human Micah, but because she is a Moroi and he is human, the relationship would never work out. They eventually broke up but stayed close friends.

Edison Castile[]

It is known that Eddie has romantic feelings for Jill, but she doesn't. She only realizes her true feelings for Eddie when he begins dating Angeline, deeply hurting Jill as she believes she lost her chance at being with Eddie. But after Angeline is found cheating on Eddie, she comforts him. As Sydney accidentally reveals to Eddie that Jill has feelings for him, this could possibly lead to a relationship in the future.

In The Fiery Heart, Eddie and Jill grow closer as Jill attempts to forget Eddie by flirting with Neil. When she found out that Eddie, Neil, and Sydney had gone to Los Angeles to find a Strigoi to test if the Spirit tattoo had succeeded in preventing Dhampirs from being turned into Strigoi, she followed them there. She helped by making a watery mist around them, but when Eddie sees her, he confronts her, yelling at her that she is a princess and should not have even been there. Then she tells him to shut up and kisses him. They discuss the possibility of a relationship later, but Eddie says he needs time to think.

In Silver Shadows, Jill and Eddie have a complicated relationship because they are both aware of the feelings they have for each other, but Eddie still feels that he is not good enough for the princess.

In the Ruby Circle epilogue, Eddie and Jill have begun long-distance dating since he is currently Adrian's guardian.

Friends[]

Rosemarie Hathaway[]

Jillian is friends with Guardian Rosemarie Hathaway, whom she first meets when she wants to practice her magic as a weapon. Jill is seen to trust Rose, as when Rose was believed to have murdered Queen Tatiana, Jill strongly believed that Rose never murdered Tatiana. It is seen that possibly Jill sees Rose as an older sister and goes to her for advice and comfort.

Adrian Ivashkov[]

Jill and Adrian Ivashkov are close friends, as Adrian affectionately calls her "Jailbait." It is also obvious that Jill has a crush on Adrian in the Vampire Academy series. Their relationship changes when Adrian brings her back from the dead after an assassination attempt on her happens at Court, causing Jill to feel Adrian's feelings and see through his eyes sometimes. She becomes highly protective of Adrian. She tells Sydney to go after Adrian in Indigo Spell because she feels that Adrian is happy being around and with Sydney. The relationship between Adrian and Jill evolves into a sibling dynamic as they talk about everything together. She even demanded that Sydney go find him when he has a spirit meltdown, and even when Sydney was captured, she encouraged him to find her but was upset when he went out to drink to death after not finding her through a Spirit Dream or Spells. Jill is also very understanding of Adrian and the turmoil he often feels. Because of this, she is very lenient and forgiving with him.

Sydney Sage[]

In Last Sacrifice, Sydney and Jill met while she was on the run with Rose and Dimitri. Jill apparently liked Sydney, as when they meet again in Bloodlines, she is so happy to see her that she almost "jump up and give Sydney a hug". After that, their friendship grows, and they become closer to each other. Sydney has a soft spot for Jill because she reminds her of Zoe, her younger sister. In the beginning of The Indigo Spell, their relationship is distant because Sydney is in denial of her feelings for Adrian. However, toward the end, they make up. Sydney says Jill is one of the reasons she had the courage to start dating Adrian.

Etymology[]

Jillian comes from the medieval name Juilian. Jillian normally goes by Jill, which is Latin for "girl", "Sweetheart" and "Youthful", which could connect to Jill as she is a young girl. She also is nicknamed "Jailbait", which means an underage person.

Trivia[]

In Shadow Kiss, Jill is introduced as an air user.

"I use air. Do you think I could fight Strigoi with that? Everyone says I'm crazy." (Mead, 125).

But then, when Jill is being introduced to Adrian and Lissa by Christian in Blood Promise, she reveals her element is water.

"What's your element?" (Mead 174). Adrian had asked Jill. Jill responded, "Water," (Mead, 174).

Richelle Mead reveals later in her blog that the "air" comment in Shadow Kiss was a typo and that her official element is, indeed, water.

Jillian means "youthful" and originated in the medieval times through the English language. This makes sense, seeing as how she is the youngest of the bunch and portrayed as sweet, a little naive, innocent and, well, youthful. This also fits Christian and Adrian's nickname for her, "Jailbait" which means an underage person.
