Jodie Starling is an FBI special agent who previously operated under the alias Jodie Saintemillion while working as an English teacher at Teitan High School. Her parents, both FBI agents investigating the Black Organization, were killed by Vermouth approximately twenty years ago. Young Jodie survived the attack only because she had left home to buy orange juice. Vermouth set the house ablaze after telling her, "a secret makes a woman," destroying evidence and her parents' records. Declining the Witness Protection Program, Jodie entered FBI protection and later became an agent under James Black's mentorship. Her father's glasses remain her sole memento. Personality-wise, Jodie balances serious professionalism on missions with a playful, carefree demeanor, evident during her teaching role. She enjoys mystery and action films, action video games, and maintains composure during crises, like adhering to her alias during a bus hijacking. She demonstrates open-mindedness by trusting Conan Edogawa's deductive abilities despite his apparent age. However, she harbors an intense, unwavering grudge against Vermouth, reacting negatively to any suggestion of the latter's redeeming qualities. Jodie exhibits strong observational and deductive skills, solving cases independently and nearly deducing Shuichi Akai's fake death plan in full. Emotional vulnerability surfaces regarding Akai, as she wept upon initially believing he had died. Her abilities include proficient marksmanship, demonstrated by shooting faster than Vermouth during a confrontation and intervening in Kir's interrogation. While skilled in deduction, such as identifying Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard as the same person, others like Conan or Akai may surpass her capabilities. She is fluent in English and conversational in Japanese, having improved over time from initial struggles. She has limited driving skills, though she executed a necessary 360-degree skid. Her vehicles included a white Peugeot 607, destroyed by Vermouth, and she occasionally uses James Black's Mercedes or Akai's Ford Mustang. Relationships define key aspects of her development. She was romantically involved with Shuichi Akai during their FBI tenure, but he ended the relationship upon going undercover and forming a connection with Akemi Miyano. Despite this, her care for him persists, evidenced by her grief during his presumed death. She refers to Conan as "Cool Kid" or "Boss," recognizing his talents while unaware of his true identity. She calls Andre Camel "Darling" or "Gorilla," and addresses Vermouth with hostility as "Chris" or "FBI's kitten." Her investigative involvement spans multiple arcs. In the Vermouth Arc, she posed as an English teacher to surveil Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki. During the Bus Hijacking Case, she aided Conan and uttered Vermouth's phrase, "A secret makes a woman," signaling her awareness of the organization. She later participated in the confrontation at the Haido City Hotel, where Vermouth escaped. In the Kir Arc, she assisted in Akai's fake death plot to protect Kir's cover. The Bourbon and Rum Arcs show her continuing FBI operations, including deductions about Akai's survival. She appears in six movies, including *The Scarlet Alibi*, a compilation featuring the Akai family using existing footage. Her full name references Clarice Starling from *Silence of the Lambs* and actress Jodie Foster. The alias "Saintemillion" derives from Saint-Émilion, a French commune. She is right-handed.
