Julia

Julia is one of the Companions of the Avatar.

It is not clear on what person she is based in real-life

A native of Earth, and friend of Lord British, in Britannia Julia is a Tinker, and made her home in the town of Minoc. As often cited, her temper is quite legendary. In Ultima IV she gladly joined the future Avatar in his/her quest for the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom.

She was declared an outlaw in Ultima V, and had to flee Minoc. Hiding in Empath Abbey, she was glad when the Avatar arrived, joining the party on the quest to topple Blackthorn's tyrannic regime. After these events, she returned to Minoc, where the Avatar found her in Ultima VI. She again joined the party to help, and made a panpipe for the Avatar, so that he/she could obtain the Rune of Sacrifice.

200 years went by after the gargoyle war, and Julia became bored with the quiet life of a tinker. Then, by Ultima VII, a horrible double-murder happened in Minoc. Horrified by these events, Julia joined the Avatar, who arrived at the morning to inspect the murder scene, to find the murderers.

One year later, she joined the big feast in Lord British's castle, and was trapped with the others inside in Ultima Underworld II. Wounded by Mors Gotha, she nonetheless survived, and in the end was freed from the trapped castle.

In the un-canon events of Ultima IX, she was seduced by the columns, but in the end, became herself again.

Trivia

 * It is never good to anger Julia, because she can get REALLY angry. In Ultima VI, she even rejects offers to join the party, after she had to leave one time. Her comments about Patterson in Ultima Underworld II also are quiet feisty (she thought about feeding Patterson to the Lurkers).
 * Julia's hair made a strange change in Ultima IX. Suddenly it is blond! Julia before always had red hair!
