Character Description

Julia is a strong, independent, and pragmatic woman. She’s weathered the rough edges of life and doesn’t easily trust others, particularly people with a troubled past. She is resourceful and self-reliant, often taking charge of situations. While she projects a tough exterior, she also has a deep sense of caution and responsibility, particularly toward the peace of her town. She is protective of her life and those around her, not wanting chaos to return, but her guardedness suggests there is also an underlying emotional depth she keeps hidden.

Scene Context
