## Biography

### QIA Career

#### Missions

Iulya joined the team as the new technical specialist in 2020, replacing Ethan Taylor ("Resurrection", "Missing"); however, after Ethan returned to the team, she was reassigned as the team's tactical specialist, replacing Hayden Kemp ("Masquerade").

By 2023, Iulya was already a seasoned and reliable member of the team, though she displayed some anxieties about leading a mission herself for the first time. ("Ides")

After Konstantin Denisov took Brent Hall hostage and tortured him, Iulya - along with Sarah - helped to rescue him, though Konstantin got away. ("Masquerade")

After the Prometheus Leak, Iulya's father Alexandru demanded that she quit the QIA and return to Romanina, which she briefly considered, even going as far as handing in her notice. However, with the support and encouragement of her brother Florin and Ethan Taylor, she later decided against it. Soon after, Iulya and Ethan began dating. ("Iulya")

In late April 2023, Iulya was arrested alongside Ethan and Hafiz for their part in the Bath mission and the subsequent St Paul's cathedral, though they were later released by Beverly Charlton, via Rupa Shaw. ("Predator", "Power")

#### Sarah and Noah

Shortly before Sarah was arrested for the St Paul's bombing, Iulya caught her kissing Ethan, and Ethan telling Sarah that he was still in love with her. Just minutes after Sarah was taken away by the police, accompanied by Ethan, Iulya was present for the completed restoration of the ¥o¬ CØ~1 folder which she and Ethan had previously recovered from among Alicia Karalis's belongings. After sifting through the data, she discovered that Carlos Sánchez is in fact Noah Cunnington, as an adult, and not dead as everyone had thought. ("¥o¬ Cø~1")

She later came to suspect that Carlos had been abducted as a baby by Fran Grenouille ("Lorenzo").

### Potential Future

In a possible future, Iulya will be present in Geneva on New Year's Eve 2026, and will fail to prevent the Blinding, in which Gaby Marshall will destroy the Eye. Consequently, the QIA will shortly afterwards fall and Novus will seize control of most of the world, leading to a dark dystopian future. Iulya, along with Blake Kishell, Sam Lucas and Tasneem Hafiz, will found the Freedom Movement. After being alerted to Gaby's presence and the fate of her parents, Iulya and the others hatch a plan to use Gaby to change history; in 2033, she, Blake and Hafiz go to the London Hub with Gaby and send her back in time to *cause* the Blinding, giving their lives to do so. ("And All That Could Have Been")

## Relationships

### Family

Iulya has a strained relationship with her parents, Alexandru and Ana-Maria; in March 2023, after the Prometheus Leak, Alexandru demanded that Iulya quit the QIA and go back to Romania, which she considered for a time. Iulya also has an older brother, Florin, who lives in England like her; they get on well, though he is clearly the favoured child. ("Iulya")

### Ethan Taylor

Iulya and Ethan began to grow close after he returned from the Void, and in March 2023 began dating ("Iulya"). Their relationship lasted only about six weeks, however, until she came to realise that Ethan still had feelings for Sarah. This was proven when she caught them kissing and him confessing his love for her, which effectively ended their relationship. ("¥o¬ Cø~1")

Months later, after Iulya told Ethan that she had already known that Carlos Sánchez was the son of Sarah and Jack Harringer, he was furious with her for not telling anyone, especially as her neglecting to do so led, indirectly, to the deaths of both Carlos and Zoey Hallett. ("Ascension")

### Sarah Cunnington

While Iulya was initially supportive of all Ethan's efforts to help his ex-girlfriend Sarah, her jealousy slowly began to assert itself, and was vindicated when she discovered her and Ethan kissing and Ethan confessing his love for her. Not long afterwards, Iulya discovered that Carlos Sánchez is in fact Noah Cunnington, Sarah's son who was supposed to have died in childbirth ("¥o¬ Cø~1"). Iulya did not revealed this information to anyone else until it was too late, by which point both Carlos and Zoey Hallett had been killed. ("Ascension")

### Carlos Sánchez

Iulya knows that Carlos is actually Noah Cunnington, the son of Sarah Cunnington and Jack Harringer, thought to have died in childbirth. She has yet to tell Carlos, or anyone else, of this. ("¥o¬ Cø~1")

### Zoey Hallett

Iulya was mainly indifferent towards Zoey when the auditor first joined the team. However, in late June 2023, after Zoey asked her out, the two briefly began dating, until Zoey was murdered by Sarah Cunnington. ("Destiny", "Ascension")

## Appearances

## Trivia

Iulya is unable to drive. ("Missing")

She is bisexual ("Virmayarvi", "Destiny").

Her first mission was in Dubrovnik ("Bell").
