Until we know more of Jill's motivations, I'm not sure how any of us are capable of really criticizing her actions at this deep a level because we have no idea why she is like she is. We have no idea how much of an influence she really has over Rinne.

And anyway, as has been mentioned, even if she did mean well her actions have not helped Rinne past the initial rescue. Instead, she's twisted her healing so that her painful scars won't leave, and she's obsessed with winning in a sport she has no legitimate interest in. She doesn't want to be the champion, and she doesn't want to test her limits, and she doesn't want to experience the thrill of those limits being pushed in an all-out battle. To her this is just a way to create an imaginary shield, a crutch that she can hold herself up on, telling herself "I's OK, I'm strong now, there's no one who can hurt me." There's no self-worth there, and no success, just a desperate cry for some kind of reassurance that it will be OK and all she's been given is "the strong hurt the weak, so become the strong". Much of this is clear, at least to me, in the way she fights. She's not looking for a good fight or even in her opponent. As I said, her opponents matter very little beyond their rank, to the point that even if she thinks they're good people and hopes she doesn't cause permanent injury, she still doesn't even care enough to learn their names except when she has to find them again for a rematch. |

After watcing episode 3 again, I realized Rinne's transformation scene was hinting at her situation, which we only got flashes at the end of that same episode, and then the full reveal at episode 4.
So yeah, a diamond/rose-themed transformation, but with heavy focus on thorns surrounding her, each piece of her barrier jacket materializing after that body part is wrapped in thorny vines...the hint was there, but I didn't think much of it at the time
