## Biography

### Early life

Julia was born to immigrant parents in Texas. Due to the risk of being arrested due to illegally crossing the border, her parents and Julia herself hid out in their grandparents house. Julia was homeschooled by her mother for years until Julia expressed interest in joining the military. At the early age of 16, Julia enrolled in a military school and became a star student, being recommended for special forces by her instructors. At 19, she joined the Army Rangers and became one of the youngest recruits in the Rangers. She quickly climbed the ranks and at some point became a Master Sergeant.

### Assault on Broken Arrow

One of the major operations Julia participated in was Operation Furnace, an assault on the island of Broken Arrow in order to bring down the Leviathan Empire. Julia was given command of two squads of soldiers, codenamed Hyena 2-1 and Hyena 2-2. However, once Hyena 2-2 inserted into Broken Arrow, their helicopter was shot down, causing them to crash and killing the whole squad except for the pilot, who sent a distress signal to anyone nearby. When Julia and Hyena 2-1 arrived however, the pilot was missing, and was confirmed K.I.A when one of the soldiers found his lifeless body, stabbed to death. Worried that this might be a trap, Julia ordered her men to check the wreckage for I.E.Ds.

They found no I.E.Ds, but ended up being ambushed by unknown forces, killing half of the squad with the exception of Julia and two others. These unknown soldiers were unrecognized by Julia, though she was highly convinced that Leviathan forces weren't the only threat in Broken Arrow. Her request to withdraw from Broken Arrow was declined, with her commanding officer ordering Julia to continue on the mission. When searching around for other fellow soldiers, Julia and the other two Rangers witnessed Leviathan and the unknown soldiers fighting each other, and overheard the word Windrunner being used. Upon closer examination of the "Windrunner" bodies, Julia found that these "soldiers" are a hybrid of a human and reptilian creature and called them "human dragons".

Their technology surpassed what the US Army was issued, with one of her soldiers scavenging a plasma rifle from one of the corpses. Upon telling her commanding officer what she found, Julia was ordered to extract with the weapon in order for scientists to study it. However, once Julia found a suitable extraction point, her squad was once again ambushed, with the last two of her soldiers being killed, leaving Julia by herself. While Julia was successful in signaling an extraction helicopter, she was attacked by Leviathan forces and captured. When the extraction helicopter arrived, the crew saw that Julia was nowhere to be found, and concluded that she was killed. However, the helicopter crew themselves ended up being captured by Windrunners when they were scouring the area for survivors.

### New life

While being held captive by Leviathan forces, Julia worked as a conscript within what would eventually become the Leviathan Special Forces. Julia was frequently sent on suicide missions which result in her fellow conscripts being killed with Julia frequently being the only survivor. Julia's survivability astounded her superiors, being referred to as "Lady Death" by her fellow soldiers. In 2003, the conscript unit in Leviathan was disbanded, leaving Julia without a purpose. Multiple private military companies attempted to hire Julia due to her combat experience but she rejected all requests to join them.
