Julie Ecclestone

Julie Marie Ecclestone is a fictional character created by Gilbert Martinez. She works as a waitress and bartender at the Blue Cherry Nightclub & Bar, and thus she is well known to regular patrons Grissom Stevens, Rocky Luciano, Alan Hertz, and Sven Hjort. Her best portrayal is in the animated miniseries This Is My World. She is a native of Harley Heights.
==Fictional Character Biography==
Julie was born in Fairbanks, WA, on April 16, 1992. Her father, James Ecclestone (b. 1957), was of English descent. Her mother, Sofie Ecclestone (née Vacek) (b. 1960), was of Czech descent.
==Personality==
While she maintains an amicable personality on the job, Julie implicitly struggles with severe depression. She regularly drinks wine and smokes cigarettes to attempt to alleviate her symptoms. Her demeanor is quite snarky and apathetic, alluding to her purely nihilistic worldview. However, she has maintained a close friendship with Alan since high school, because he understands her very well and knows how to help her through bad episodes. In the miniseries, he occasionally has dinner and watches movies with her.
Over the course of the miniseries, she begins to improve her symptoms, becomes more open about her depression, and eventually moves away to Portland, OR, to start a new life. It's implied that she's been able to turn her life and her personality around.
She is set to make appearances in SpaceGuru5's canon, continuing her work as a bartender. These appearances take place after the miniseries. She has been described by Gilbert as a tough, no-nonsense woman with a strikingly gentle side, which she only shows to people she wants to let in.
==Trivia==
*Her original name, Cherry Zard, was a blatant pun on "Charizard."
*Originally, Julie was actually meant to be a transvestite. However, this was changed in 2016 so that she was strictly female. Gilbert did this because he feared the former portrayal would've been seen as transphobic.
