Queen Juliana Reese is a Westrian character, and belongs to the Heirs of Westria roleplay. She is the only daughter of Baron Edmund and Baroness Eleanor Reese. She competed in the Heirs of Westria competition, due to her mother's insistent prompting, and the hopes to learn something new. She won the competition alongside her husband, Sebastian Briarwood, and is now the queen of Westria. She appears later in Defenders of Westria, now the queen struggling to lead her chaotic, rebelling country.

## Background

### Childhood

Juliana was born as the only child to the Reese family, a noble family living in the town of Elion, near Kordile. Her mother, Baroness Eleanor, was a very demanding and controlling woman. She was determined to make Juliana the most desirable match in all of Westria, and so she hired the best tutors she could find. If one didn't satisfy her, or taught Juliana all they could, Eleanor dismissed them and found someone new. Juliana found she could never settle into something normal, because everything was constantly changing as she learned more. Although Juliana learned to adjust to change quickly, she longed for something to stay steady for even just a few months.

While her mother was controlling and ordered Juliana around, Juliana's father, Baron Edmund, was more patient with his daughter. He treated her less as a dog who could learn tricks quickly to help the family, but as his actual daughter. He focused on a relationship with her instead of teaching her new things, and Juliana found she learned more from him than she did from her actual tutors. The two formed a bond when she was already quite young, and she told him about everything.

Juliana was an only child, but she always wished for a sibling. Sometimes, when she was a lot younger, she would sneak out into the town to play with the younger children. Her father caught her, but allowed it, pretending not to notice anything because he knew she needed friends. However, when her mother found out, she was furious, and Juliana was watched carefully, constantly guarded to make sure she couldn't sneak out.

### Teenage Years

As a teenager, Juliana was drilled even harder with her lessons. She learned to enjoy most of them, and made friends with her music tutor, who was the youngest tutor Juliana had ever had. Eleanor started introducing Juliana to potential suitors, but Juliana didn't have much interest in any of them. She pretended to, to please her mother, and soon her days became less lessons, and more entertaining potential matches. There was a point when she was very close to getting engaged to a wealthy lord, whom her mother greatly approved of, but the engagement fell through for mysterious reasons.

## Heirs of Westria

Juliana is first seen arriving with the other heirs. She doesn't play a very major role in the roleplay, aside from giving Sebbie her handkerchief at the joust, until the heirs are all captured by assassins. She joins with Sebbie, Merek, and Crystal to get the heirs back, but is unfortunately captured, along with the others.
