Has anyone posted the official summary? (click on Jill´s profile):
"Having undergone Delta Force training made Jill a natural fit as Rear Security for the Raccoon Police Department's special forces team, S.T.A.R.S., and her knack for picking locks and handling explosives have proven equally useful making her an especially outstanding team member. However, Jill is one of few surviving members after the team saw numerous losses to the shambling corpses and monstrous creatures they encountered while investigating reports of missing persons in what has become known as the Mansion Incident.
A survivor of that incident, Jill is determined to continue investigating Umbrella, the creators of the deadly T-Virus at the heart of the incident, but her investigation has been impeded by a suspension and an order to remain at home. What's more, her apartment appears to be under round-the-clock surveillance. The entire city seems to be under Umbrella's control, with the police force being no exception. Jill has decided to escape from her confines in Raccoon City in order to bring Umbrella's evil to light, but this may not prove so simple..."
Her new combat-ready design even has an in lore reason. Nice. The being surprised excuse to justify the 90s outfit was never canon btw. outside of the fact that the outbreak was well underway before even the game´s opening level. Just watch the intro and even the book went in a different direction. The female author said that a heatwave was sweeping the town, lol. But Jill was ready and geared up to leave town even there.
PS: She was Delta Force and a career solder even in the 90s. That´s not new.
Edit: Her new house arrest is a smart way to start off without guns and teach the returning dodge mechanics. The new writers/designers are sooo good.
