Wanting revenge on the Alpha Pack, Julia (as Jennifer Blake) performs a ritual that will give her enough power to face Deucalion and the Pack during a lunar eclipse.

## History

Many years ago, Jennifer Blake was named Julia Baccari, and she was the emissary of Kali's pack. The two women were inseparable and it is implied the two had a romantic relationship in the past. However, this is never confirmed or denied.

Sometime after Deucalion killed all of his betas and formed the Alpha Pack, Kali wanted to join as well. To be initiated in the group, Kali killed her entire pack, including Julia. Despite severely mauling her, Kali could not bring herself to kill Julia and opted to let her die of her injuries. However, Julia, remembering the tales of Derek Hale unintentionally giving the Nemeton power the moment he performed a virgin sacrifice, touched the tree and gave her power. However, Julia was too weak, Causing her to pass out. She was suddenly found by Noah Stilinski way before he became the sheriff and he got her admitted into Beacon Hospital Memorial. To ensure her survival, Julia had crows sacrifice themselves to give her power. The encounter with Kali left Julia brutally scarred and terrifying in appearance. Wanting revenge against Deucalion and the Alpha Pack, Julia took on the name "Jennifer Blake", a teacher at Beacon Hills High School and found a way to disguise herself as a beautiful woman (presumably due to the virgin sacrifices).

At the start of the 2011-2012 school year, Jennifer was the literature teacher during Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Allison's junior year.

	+ she preyed on Stiles' love for his father and manipulated Derek, Stiles and Scott into taking her to the hospital so she could abduct Melissa
	+ She revealed to the Hale Pack that Deucalion is after Scott as well and she is aware of his status as a true Alpha so she could abduct Melissa.
	+ She even manipulate Derek into helping her due to recognizing Derek's bond with his sister Cora, and his mentee, Scott.
* Given how Kali and her pack were associated with Talia, Deucalion, Ennis and their packs, it is highly likely that Julia knew the Deaton-Morrell siblings, Alan and Marin.
* The Anuk-ite, a creature that takes a person's deepest fear, took the form of Jennifer Blake in front of Derek. This shows that Julia's influence on the werewolf left him haunted and that she his his greatest fear.
* Jennifer was the third love interest of Derek Hale and appeared to be his second healthy relationship since Paige. However, after her true colors are revealed, Julia becomes the second woman who manipulated Derek into having a relationship with her, the first being Kate Argent.
