Julia Pennyworth

## Background

### 1978 - 2004: Julia Remarque

Julia Remarque was born & raised in Peillon, a little town of France by shop owner, Jacques Remarque. Growing up, Jacques explained he was a friend of her mother's but had not seen her since Julia's birth. He also didn't even know her real name, just her codename. But her codename was enough as Julia would learn her mother was none other than Mademoiselle Marie, a well known French Intelligence agent. Following in her mom's footsteps, Julia would become an Operative of the British Army Forces.

After two years there & some successful missions, Julia was promoted to an Agent of the United Nations. Using her new resources, Julia began researching more about her mother to figure who her father was. Learning her father was now a butler to the American billionaire Bruce Wayne, Julia left her job at UN, got all her affairs in order then caught the first flight to Gotham.

### 2004 - Present: Julia Pennyworth

Julia was initially disgusted with her father, thinking he had abandoned her but he was full of shock when she revealed her identity. He told her that he had not seen her mother in over 25 years & that he never even knew she was pregnant. Eager to have a child of his own, Alfred proposed that Julia move into Wayne Manor until she got her own place to stay, though it would become her permanent residence.

Her time around the Wayne family brought her close to Bruce's cousin, Kate Kane. The two would enter into a romance for over a year before things ended between the two of them. Though not together (except for the occassional hook up), the two remained close enough for Julia to pose as Batwoman various times. The most prominent time would come when Kate was severely injured during Gotham's No Man's Land. When the dust settled & Kate recovered, she passed back the cape & mask. But Julia realized she missed being in the thick of it all so after discussing her options with Bruce & Alfred, she decided to join the Bat Family as an official support member.

This job worked to fulfill the missing part in Julia's life, as she continued filling in for Kate to get some type of action in her life. It satisfied her for some time before she decided that she wanted to see some action. To fill the void, she became an agent of Kate's father's security organization, Crows Security. After some time with the team, she would get more than she bargained for after starting a romance with another agent.
