She has also starred in various series about the Russian Imperial Family, and in addition to being a well-known actress in the Mythical Nations, she is also a singer, and famed internet personality. Though her name is only a household name in the Mythical Nations, the Scandinavian nations have heard of her fame and a majority of her films are widely enjoyed among their population; in fact she is even referred to as "Governess Elena O'Cahill" by fans much to the actress` amusement. She is the eldest daughter and eldest married child of her parents, both of them hailing from prominent Noble or Royal Houses (in the case of her mother royal, noble in the case of her father).

## Early life

### **Childhood**

   Juliette was born on 24 October 1949 at Borgström Manor in the Ingiärd Governate. She was the eldest daughter and first child of Wilhelm Westmark and Katarina Borgström. She was christened "Juliette Maud Mary" in the Southern Wing`s western chapel in the Borgström Manor by The Archbishop of Alice, William Victoria-Alice with her mother`s traditional family surname of "Borgström" much to the disapproval of her maternal Slavic relatives (Grand Duchesses Ivanova and Noskova) in particular disapproved of the Swedish names that she was given, considering them to be weak and ineffective to her position as the future Duchess of Westmark and Borgström—the two houses having been combined together with the marriage between their heads, making Juliette the heiress apparent of the combined estates and the combined noble houses. Being born with the name "Juliette" the same name as the famed Dagmarian Orthodox-Christian 12th-century Saint, Juliette of Brodd (a 12th-century Dagmarian city that was later destroyed) gained her much popularity among the common people who started referring to her as "the second coming of Saint Juliette". Her godparents were Grand Duchesses Ivanova and Noskova of Russia (her maternal second-cousins; for whom Grand Duchess Olga stood proxy), Hilda Borgström (her maternal aunt; for whom Princess Karin of Sweden stood proxy), Edwin Kirkland (her maternal aunt`s half-brother; for whom Edmund Kirkland (the Kirkland siblings` older half-sister) stood proxy), and Marchioness Megumi (her paternal grandmother; for whom Marchioness Isobel stood proxy).

At the time of her birth, her parents` respective countries were experiencing frosty relations with the Kingdom of Avalon on a large scale—thus the news of her birth was kept silent until after she was both baptised and christened by The Archbishop of Alice—she was nicknamed "Little Arctic" due to her frosty glare that she directed at anybody who dared to stand in her way when she was enraged, and her cold, emotionless tone of voice that awoke only when she was truly angry. Her two Russian cousins who were godparents at her christening ceremony often referred to their second-cousin as "Arc", "Little Arctic", or their favorite nickname "Arctic Edge". By the time she was a toddler, there had already been seven assassinations made against her life as both of her parents were high-ranking officials in the Dagmarian Imperial Government and members of the Empire`s Imperial Family; Grand Duchesses Ivanova and Noskova`s mother, Maria Alexandrovich of Russia, moved her family into the Borgström Manor along with her entire household, and her family`s retainers/servants, governesses, and distant relatives in order to better protect her own family.

Princess Cecilia of Dagmar (b. 1 October 1920 – 22 December 1967); the eldest of her first-cousins, became appalled once information leaked out to the Dagmarian Imperial press that her younger first-cousin, from the time that she was a toddler to her earlier childhood years already had at least seven assassination attempts on her life—leaders of other member nations in the Mythical Nations expressed their outrage publicly and called for the execution of Avalon`s Authoritarian Government. While visiting her younger first-cousin in May of 1959, she stopped paparazzi swarming her younger first-cousin by whistling for her huskies to come chase them off Dagmarian Imperial Family grounds—Cecilia by then (38 years-old) had turned into a harsh and intimidating-looking woman who was described as possessing a "mellow but cold-sounding voice, akin to a emotionless soldier or a commanding military officer". Cecila`s pro-Avalon mother was later assassinatinated in that same year by anti-Avalon party representatives, and the Princess`s disassociation with her mother—ranging from pushing forward a permit to have the usage of her mother`s name banned in Cecila`s personal residence, and the place where she held her own court, banning usage of terminology that her mother used, and even the slightest mention of her mother became banned everywhere in Dagmar. The Princess had her own father (Prince Fredrich) assassinated on her own orders after he expressed views trending towards pro-Avalon, which Cecilia considered a betrayal from him of the Empire of Dagmar; Juliette began to mimic the ways of Princess Cecilia which many advisers considered a wise move from the younger Princess.
