Julia Boucher

***Si VIs Pacem Para Bellum***

## Early Life

Julia was born on February 2nd, three minutes before her sister Layla. Julia and Layla lived with their father, Charles, on a separate estate not farm from the Kiramman estate. One night, while going with their parents, Evelyn Kiramman and Charles Boucher, to the Kiramman estate to meet their half siblings and Alasdair, Evelyn was brutally murdered by Charles. Charles fabricated an elaborate lie for the children before returning home with them. That night, Julia was awoken by the sounds of shouting. She crept downstairs in time to see her father being stabbed by a tall dark haired woman wearing black and gold. Julia rushed back upstairs to wake her sister to gather her things. In an attempt to sneak out of the house, another dark haired woman found them and brought them to the foyer where the other woman was waiting. She introduced herself as Saint and offered the twins a home.

Julia was pronounced dead on the scene and left in the Valentine graveyard where she was taken by Saint and narrowly saved. Following that, Julia has become almost obsessively loyal to Saint.

## Ruthless County

Julia has come to Ruthless, following Saint.

## Creation of Bliss

From 1897 to 1899, Julia largely remained holed up in Saint’s factory working on the creation of a new drug. Dubbed Bliss, Julia created the drug from extracts from tobacco and angel’s trumpet. After extensive testing on both herself and Jones, the drug was found to give the user intense hallucinations and closely mimicked the symptoms of bipolar disorder. While not directly causing addiction, mixing the powdered form of the drug with tobacco in a rolled cigarette causes dependency.
