## Character

### **Personality**

Julia, as the daughter of the goddess gossip, likes spreading rumors and is very close to Hera and her friends. She likes to make everything a competition and likes to compare things to others. Julia, much like some people tends to be catty, vindictive. Though she is not as mean as the other girls in her group. She also often talks to Aubrey and Max to talk about celebrity drama or school gossip. Other than that, Julia is a very two-sided girl with a way of talking and is very popular. Julia is warm and enthusiastic, typically very bright and full of potential. She seems to live in a world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. She is a charming, ingenuous, risk-taking, sensitive, people-oriented individual with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. She feels that she is living her life as her true self, walking in step with what she believes is right. She has a strong need to be independent, and resists being controlled or labelled. When angered, these statements may easily be contradicted with various limitations. Trickster. If there is one thing Jules loves more than anything, it's stirring up trouble. Especially for the demigods of her pantheon. (She has a thing against most heroes, but especially those from her pantheon.) She loves to spread rumors and blow things out of proportion for the sheer joy of watching the end results. She is very messed up. She loves gossip. She listens to just as much rumors as she starts. She loves to tell people other people's darkest secrets and if they already know the secret she's trying to tell them, she'll make something up just to keep their interest. She doesn't like it when someone else beats her to the punch.

Probably because she loves to create drama, she loves theater. She was in her old school's Creative Theater Group and is always competing to be the star of their performances. She lives for the spotlight. And not just onstage. Jules loves to be the center of attention whenever possible. Whether it's use magic on a field trip even after strictly being told not to, or popping in out of nowhere, usually declaring "tada" it's guaranteed she'll try to be the main focus at any time. Jules is very manipulative. She can make someone believe that she likes them when in reality she hates them. She probably could do the reverse, but there's not that many people that she actually likes. She distrusts people, knows there going to be talking about her behind her back the moment she's out of earshot. (Gossips are the most paranoid about gossip against them.) Tell-tale signs she's up to something. Her smile goes from a real one to more of a smirk, she tosses her hair back, she runs the fabric of her skirt through her fingers, and she hums. Really, if you know the kind of person she is, it isn't hard to tell when she's up to something. But thanks to Julia's hard work at it, no one knows the kind of person she really is, and therefore don't catch the signs. Jules is very big on being the most powerful hero. If there is any person around that can do something she can't, or can do something better than she can, she will spend hours studying and practicing so she can do that thing better than they can because of course she has to be the best. At everything even remotely to do with magic. Julia has been seen staring at mothers embracing their children, or fathers playing with their kids, not in a longing way, not in a judgmental way, in a confused way. She honestly doesn't understand why they do that, she doesn't understand why they act differently than her mother does with her, and she doesn't understand why it's seen as normal. She doesn't let herself stare very long though.
