Jill Andersen's mind



Jill Andersen's mind is one of the more significant minds, excluding Riley's, in Inside Out. Like Riley's mind, five emotions reside in Jill's Headquarters. Unlike Riley's mind, however, Jill's mind is lead by Sadness, as opposed to Joy.

In Inside Out
Jill's emotions appear in three distinct scenes. The first is the Dinner Table Scene, in which they are showcased after a reaction from Riley shocks Jill. Her emotions thus decide to probe her, and after they don't get a satisfactory response, they call for Riley's father. However, after the reaction from him disappoints them as well, they lose themselves, purporting that they would have been better off with the Brazilian helicopter pilot, and after the transgression between Riley and Bill, declare the entire event to be a disaster, before recalling the memory of said pilot.

Nearing the end, in the scene Parent/Daughter Bonding, Jill's emotions compliment Bill on the decision to go to Riley's hockey match with painted faces. Anger thus decides to throw away the helicopter pilot memory, but Fear picks up after Anger, "just in case".

Lastly, the short Riley's First Date? gives a significant appearance to Jill's emotions. After Jordan comes to Riley's doorstep, Jill's emotions once again decide to probe Riley, but this time adding what they believe are words that would be seen as "cool" by Riley. However, Riley's emotions are only aggravated. Later, when Riley and Jordan leave the house and Jill and Bill are alone, both of their emotion teams initiate a kiss, which Jill is the first to break.

Design
Out of any non-Riley mind, Jill's emotions appear to have the most thought put into their appearances. While, like other non-Riley minds, all of her emotions share a single design detail (namely, Jill's hair and glasses), Sadness wears a beaded necklace, while Disgust wears a purple dress (originally intended for Riley's Disgust). In addition, Anger has distinct lipstick on, and both Sadness and Fear wear sweaters not matching those of Riley's Sadness and Fear.

Jill's Headquarters are designed after a talk show, indicating her insistence on "probing", seen in two of the scenes where her emotions are featured.

In parodies
Jill's emotions make a very brief, non-verbal appearance in Jill reacts to being told Riley has emotions guiding her. The video itself, while primarily having a conversation between Riley and Jill, shows that both of them are cognizant of their emotions and therefore, Jill reacts positively to learning of Riley's emotions, and vice versa.
