Flashback Look: Two loose pigtails with a side bang hiding her right eye; black-painted fingernails; oversized black hoodie (often hood up); thin string choker.

Key Relationships Andrew (boyfriend, 22): Gentle, patient partner; craves his reliability and affection.

Ashley Graves (rival): Target of relentless bullying—death threats, slut-shaming voicemails—driving Julia toward self-harm.

Personality & Demeanor Core Traits: Soft-spoken, sensitive, inherently meek but quietly determined.
