Jill Pole

Jill Pole was the Daughter of Eve who helped find Prince Rilian, son of Caspian X of Narnia. She also fought at the Battle of Stable Hill at the end of the Calormene Conquest of Narnia. She was one of the Seven Friends of Narnia, and entered into Aslan's Country at the end of Narnia.

First trip into Narnia
Jill Pole first entered into the World of Narnia along with Eustace Scrubb when they were trying to escape from bullies at their school. Upon entering into what they believed to be Narnia but was actually Aslan's Country, she tried showing off by standing on the edge of a cliff, which led to Eustace trying to stop her and falling. Jill soon learned that Aslan had blown Eustace safely to Narnia, when she tried drinking from a stream.

Aslan tasked Jill with finding the lost prince Rilian; to do this he told her four signs to guide her and Eustace to the lost prince. Then after making sure she knew all of them, and telling her to repeat them to herself daily, he blew her safely to Narnia as well. They ended up missing the first sign as King Caspian left before they could get his help, and they were taken to see the Regent Trumpkin.

That night, they were taken by the Owl Glimfeather to a Parliament of Owls. There they learned the story of how Rillian became lost, and it was decided that they would be taken near the River Shribble in the Marshlands to meet the Marshwiggle Puddleglum; who would help guide them on their quest.

Along with Puddleglum, the two travelled north into Ettinsmoor, where they met giants. After escaping from the city of Harfang, they fell underground and found the land of Underworld. There, they found Rilian and freed him from an enchantment.

After the Lady of the Green Kirtle was defeated, the four returned to the surface, and Jill and Eustace were sent back to Earth by Aslan.

Many people suspect that there is a suttle romance between Jill and Eustace but C.S. Lewis only meant for them to be and remain very close friends.

Narnia's End
Jill returned to Narnia with Eustace in its last year and helped free king Tirian. When discovering the False Aslan, the donkey Puzzle, she saved his life by convincing Tirian that it was not Puzzle's fault and that Puzzle was forced to do his part in the plot. She also fought in the Battle of Stable Hill, and killed at least two Calormenes, a talking Wolf, and one Satyr (Wraggle). When the battle ended, she was brought into Aslan's Country and became a Lady of Narnia due to her faithfullness to Aslan and the Narnian kingdom.

Personality and skills
Jill Pole was quite skilled with a Bow and arrows, and she was also good at moving quietly through forested areas and tracking. She was also a good Horse rider, having gone to a horse riding school over one of her school holidays. She was a Girl Guide at one point. Jill was confident, respectful, and a bit bossy at times, she was also adventurous and loved to face challenges. She hated being in dark, underground places. Jill was a typical teenage girl and, though quite stubborn, a very enlightening companion to her friends. Many young girls can relate to her.
