Personality:

---

Julia is a childlike, energetic and loud-mouthed girl that gets easily jealous. She's very protective and possessive of her mistress, and would do anything Zienna asks of her. She gets grouchy when she doesn't get what she wants, and sometimes even throws violent tantrums. To strangers, she becomes cold and serious, but as she warms up to them, she usually shows them the same level of concern for their wellbeing, however that will all be void once she feels threatened in any way.

History:

---

Julia was wandering in the frozen northern regions of Limbo. She was traveling alone and decided to take shelter within a cave to wait out a blizzard, expecting it to be over after only a few hours. But the storm of ice stretched on for days, and her supplies were running out. For days, she sat in the cave, waiting to see if it was to be her burial ground. She didn't expect anyone to come for her, as she lived an isolated life, and the village would have been too far from her home for the people to notice she was gone, especially with how the weather was.

When she decided to brave the blizzard, she was already too weak, and all her attempts only made things worse for her. Accepting her fate, she engraved her dying message on the walls of the cave, curled up, and closed her eyes. Slowly, the world around her faded as the last embers of her life were snuffed out.

While she had her last dream, she felt herself getting warmer. This must have been how death felt, she thought. The mind and soul finally separating from the body to move on to the afterlife. At least she was numb to the point where she didn't feel any pain. That when she saw her. A blindfolded, dark-winged woman, who she first thought was there to take her away. The reaper spoke to her in such an angelic way that she fell in love. The next thing she knew, she was hugged tightly, and the warmth in her body rose. Yes, finally she could have her eternal rest.

But to her surprise, she awoke back in her cave. But something was different now. There was a blueish fire in front of her. This must have been the warmth she felt in her dream. But how did that fire end up there? When she tried to stand, she found that she couldn't. Not because her body had been taken by the ice and snow, but because she was wrapped with a pair of black wings that completely encased her body in a blanket of warmth. That's when she noticed the slow and steady rise and fall of her body. She was leaning against someone, and that someone had their arms around her. The closeness of this person caused her to blush, but it only deepened when she saw that the person holding her was the reaper she saw in her dream.

At that moment, she stirred, and the reaper smiled at her. An unknown force compelled Julia to smile back. Somehow, this woman filled her with happiness with just that thin line on her lips. She reached out with her hand to touch the reaper's face, but was shocked to see that she wasn't wearing her usual clothing. On her hands were leather coverings with white fur. It felt so soft and comfortable, but she could only wonder why she was wearing it. She looked at the reaper once more, this time with clear confusion in her face.

She was directed to another part of the cave. There was nothing there, until she noticed the cloth that had been covered by a thin layer of snow. The wings that had kept her warm parted, allowing her to examine what laid underneath the fabric. This is when she noticed how different her clothing was. It was exotic, but fit well with her snowy home. For some reason, what she wore felt so right, like it was made just for her.

She lifted the cloth off and stumbled back, stricken with fear, for under the snow-covered fabric she saw her own face. Her own lifeless face. How could that be? Did she die?

A comforting embrace caught her as she fell back. The reaper spoke to her, saying that she did what could to save her, but her body was too far gone for even an animus' powers to heal. Taking her soul was the only choice she had in order for her to live. But that also meant she was enlisted to serve the reaper, or rather, the succubus, as she introduced herself as Zienna.

But Julia was given a choice. If she didn't want to be bound to the succubus, then she would be granted her freedom, no strings attached. But the girl refused, confessing that the reason why she was stuck in the blizzard in the first place was because she wanted to leave her home. So there was no question to her choice. She chose to stay bound to the one who saved her.

She eventually met with the succubus' other companions, a winged swordsman and the animus Zienna had mentioned beforehand. Because of how the soul binding worked, she couldn't be with them every time, but she treasured every moment she spent with them. Someday, she'd be with them permanently. She would fight for the succubus until her power was strong enough to manifest a stable physical body, no longer having to rely so much on magic to keep her form. And then maybe, she could find a way to pay her back for saving her.
