Julie watches her 3-year-old daughter, Morgan, sleep in her bed and feels the love all mothers know. But Julie's affection transcends even that, for had it not been for Morgan, she would likely still be a New Orleans prostitute or maybe even dead. And as her daughter's peaceful smile suggests thoughts of Saint Nick and his sleigh, Julie quietly vows her little girl will never know the self-doubt that led her mother to a life of desperate depravity.

Julie grew up in a rural community in the Midwestern United States in what could easily be described as a good home. She was obsessed with knowledge and found it in books, which helped her impress the adults around her. She avoided other children, because they thought her odd and ridiculed her. With social skills lacking, she refused invitations to birthday parties and became even more introspective. At Christmas when she was 6 years old, Julie recalled that she was determined she had seen Santa Claus jump from their roof and enter her front door. "I still very clearly remember the red glow and hearing a 'thump, thump, thump' on the roof." Other children on her school bus mocked her, however, and she escaped through her books.
She discovered a love for music and began playing clarinet, taking the solo position with her high school orchestra as a freshman. Julie competed at the state level and won, which led to an invitation to join a prestigious, big city youth symphony. But the scent of success was too much for her, and she declined, a decision she later regretted.

Julie is a good case example of the Idiosyncratic style of character, which in the Ansir system is called 'Evocateur' style; 'a different drummer'. These people often find it difficult to link up with reality as seen by other people, therefore they are seen as non-conformist or odd.
