FBI Special Agent Jodie Starling investigates criminal organizations, driven by a traumatic past: her parents were murdered by Vermouth twenty years prior in their home, set ablaze to conceal evidence. As a child, she survived only because she had stepped out to buy orange juice. Refusing Witness Protection, she joined the FBI under James Black's mentorship, retaining her father’s glasses as her sole memento. Jodie balances professional seriousness with a playful, carefree demeanor, notably displayed during her undercover stint as an English teacher at Teitan High School. She remains composed in crises—such as a bus hijacking—and exhibits open-mindedness, trusting Conan Edogawa’s abilities despite his youth. However, she harbors an intense grudge against Vermouth, rejecting any notion of the assassin's redemption. Observant and deductive, she falls short of elite detectives like Shinichi Kudo or Shuichi Akai. Emotionally vulnerable regarding Akai, she wept upon news of his faked death and retains unresolved feelings from their past romance. Proficient with firearms, Jodie once outdrew Vermouth in combat. Her deductive skills nearly exposed Akai’s death ruse and uncovered Vermouth’s dual identity as Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard. Fluent in English and functional in Japanese, she occasionally errs in codes, such as substituting "F" for "H". In *Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie*, Jodie operates as a supporting FBI agent, collaborating with James Black on the Cherry Sapphire theft case. Her role adheres strictly to established investigative duties without unique plot contributions or personal backstory expansion in this crossover. Interactions remain professionally consistent.
