Genderfluid

**Julie Joyful** was one of the 9 neighbors that lived in The Neighborhood during the 1970s television series, Welcome Home.

## Introduction

"According to uncovered scripts, Julie was a Rainbow Monster that was said to have come from deep within the forest that surrounded the outskirts of Home. She lived with her family in a cave but sought out a life of her own and moved away.

Many of her skits and activities centered around playing games, whether they were as familiar as jump rope and hopscotch or simply made up on a whim. She was often depicted with Frank as a comedic foil, on merchandise and advertising, and in the song, “The Fun in your Frown.” (No track.)

Recent evidence has revealed that Julie's family consisted of three siblings who were also rainbow monsters but with greatly differing color palettes. Their names were Bea, Franny, and Jonesy, but they do not appear to have lived in Home alongside her. There was also a prevalent theme of flowers. This can be seen with Julie herself looking like an open flower from above and illustrations that would reveal her speaking to flowers to make them bloom."

## Appearance

Julie Joyful was an adult humanoid puppet. She has salmon skin. There are four fingers on each hand, like most of the other neighbors. She has downturned, oval-shaped eyes with black pupils and two eyelashes on each eye. Her eyebrows are small and black. Her nose is round and orange. Julie has a nice-looking smile, with pinkish blush coloring her cheeks. Her honey-blonde hair is teased into a beehive-like hairstyle, which is held by a white headband. She has two face-framing pieces of hair hanging loose. Julie has two orange and yellow striped horns.

Julie normally wore a light red dress. The bodice of the dress has a white Peter Pan collar with a golden bow attached to it. It also has puffed sleeves. A white belt is secured around her waist with a circular golden buckle. The skirt of the dress is ruffled and rounded. The edges are gold and dark salmon. Julie had on stockings that have a blue-green gradient. She also wore white Mary Jane shoes that have a golden buckle. Her overall style reflects that of the era that “Welcome Home” would have aired during.
