Jillian Rodriguez

-Brandie Norman's personal thoughts on Jillian Rodriguez in the beginning of the third season
 * "And then there was Jillian Rodriguez, possibly the smartest, most mature, most helpful and the friendliest person I would ever come to know."

Jillian Chiquita Alameda Rodriguez is a fictional character in the fictional television series Attending EFBS. In the beginning of the series, she appeared to be rather ditzy, seeing as she named her pimple Beauty in "Not Feeling Welcomed". However, she became the smartest character in the show after this episode and did not attend her second year of East Farley Boarding School as she was an exchanged student in France, with Isabella Watt coming to take her place at the school.

Her best friend was Mary Finn, until she died shortly before their last year at EFBS, after which she became particularly close with Brandie Norman, who had previously been her second best friend. Brandie had been feeling like the only person who was saddened by Mary's death until Michael Trend informed her to take a close look at Jillian's state; Brandie discovered that Jillian was feeling even worse than she did and apologized for not caring. Jillian felt very uncomfortable about going out in public after Mary's death. According to the writers, Jillian was "never right again" after the death of Mary, and this could be seen by how she liked to stay by herself more often than usual.

In College Kid, Jillian begins to date Ryan Glow and becomes best friends with him, as well as Audrey Finn; however, her friendly relationship with Audrey is ruined when Audrey forces Ryan into a relationship with her, whilst Ryan and Jillian are still dating. Ryan refuses and Audrey attempts to murder him, but Jillian comes to the rescue. Since that encounter, Jillian has been helping Ryan through his mental and emotional struggles. When Brandie, Michael, Mackenzie and Susan, amongst others, forgive her, Audrey refuses to do so and although Ryan wants to, he cannot bring himself to speak to her anymore.

Jillian is considered to be Ryan's "savior" and is one of the only people Ryan is comfortable speaking to these days. The relationship between the two is very strong and the writers have stated that they will not be breaking up soon, if ever.

Jillian is also close to Mackenzie, Michael (until his death), Lindsey White and Brandon Rock. The executive producers of the show have claimed that if Jillian and Ryan were to break up, Jillian would then date Brandon and Ryan would date Mackenzie.

Jillian has been confirmed "one hundered percent straight" and would never participate in any sexual activity with females.
