—Julia, in a conversation with Runan
Julia is a playable character from TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga. She is the daughter of Yoda and the adopted sister of Shigen.
Profile[]
As a child, Julia often climbed into Shigen's bed and asked him to read stories and sing to her. During many nights, she was too afraid to sleep and relied on Shigen to look out for her. When she first began her training as a swordfighter, she could not bring herself to kill insects. She frequently lost her nerve from stress and drank wine to keep herself going. Without Yoda's permission, she left their home on Il Island in order to become a mercenary and improve her fighting skills. She was eventually hired in Reeve, where she witnessed Rentzenheimer's murder of his own mother. After pinning his crime on Julia, he attempted to kill her, but she managed to escape. Some time later, she was hired to protect the village of Taurus from bandits.
Julia is introduced when she is defending Taurus from a bandit attack. When Runan comes to the villagers' aid, she enlists in his army. In a conversation with Garo, she reveals that a man in service to Vals saved her from pirates around fifteen years prior to the game's events. She asks if Garo knows anything about the man; whilst Garo doesn't give a direct answer, Julia is able to figure out that he was that man and is thankful.
During a battle in the Gram Forest, Julia encounters Vega, whom Rentzenheimer hired to hunt her down. After besting her in a duel, he realizes that he has been tricked and gives her a Healing Fruit so she can heal her wounds. If she is sent with Runan's army after the second route split, she can obtain the ☆Rukuud from Rentzenheimer by defeating him. If she is sent with Holmes instead, she learns Dragon Saint after being bested by her father in a duel.
Depending on events triggered during the story, Julia can accompany Shigen while he travels around the world with Runan, Holmes, Enteh, and Katri in the ending.
Personality[]
Since her childhood, Julia has been softhearted and somewhat shy as a result of being scared by the stories about the atrocities committed against Zoans. She wants to become strong like her father and Shigen, both of whom she considers superior swordmasters. For this reasons, she observes Vega's behavior, much to his annoyance. Due to her hesitation with her sword and lack of willingness to needlessly kill, she wonders if she is truly fit to be a swordmaster. She also appears to be a tomboy, but becomes more feminine in the ending, to which Shigen reacts positively.

Julia is another playable female Myrmidon suffering from the same problems as other playable female Myrmidons in the series: being outclassed by their male counterparts. While Julia does give a strong impression due to her ability to dispatch the speedy Rouges in her joining Chapter, she struggles to 2HKO anything else. In fact, Barts arguably has superior combat early on with his ability to 2HKO bulkier enemy types.
That said, Julia isn't entirely a terrible unit. Holmes' route tends to be much more forgiving towards infantry units thanks to the plentiful amount of indoors chapters. Her skillset is also fairly decent, as she can learns Continue, Rising Dragon and Dragon Saint. Unfortunately for her, she has to compete with other Myrmidons such as Vega and Shigen, both of which come with personal weapons and don't require as much investment to use.
