Enemies: Daidoji, Nemesis, Rago
Love Interest: Ryuga
Perpetual Shipping (Name origin: Julia’s persistence and Ryuga’s constellation Draco on the night sky)
Julia’s and Ryuga’s relationship starts off very one-sided at first. As a strongly optimistic person, Julia has trouble understanding the origin of the dark power that Ryuga holds. This evokes the curiosity about his personality in her and thus, it becomes Julia’s goal to comprehend Ryuga’s thinking. Several tries of convincing him to open up to Julia failed as he had no trouble completely ignoring her approaches. However, Julia’s resoluteness kept her following Ryuga’s traces even to his hideout. Ryuga, on the other hand, first appreciated her company when he realized that she did not care about his strength like all the others did, but solely about his character. Traveling together for quite some time and simply experiencing each other’s ways to cope with challenges made them grow closer to each other, although Julia’s ways of interacting with the still quiet Ryuga barely changed. It was only when Julia realized her true feelings for Ryuga which developed after finally being able to see the mere human in him, that her attitude towards him changed to a more quiet and tsundere way of behaving. Although she fails at fully revealing her feelings to him before the battle against Nemesis, Ryuga eventually shows appreciation for the tenderness Julia has always treated him with as it turned out to be a new experience for him.
Personal Outline:
Likes: Combing people’s hair; green tea; ice skating; talking about fashion, meeting new people; jewelry; giving her friends advice
Dislikes: When people consider her the “little innocent” with no brain; when she blushes; insincerity
Hobbies: Singing (although she does not enjoy doing it in front of others); Beyblading; ice skating.
Personality: Julia is an honest and caring person. She easily feels responsible for others’ wellbeing due to her loving and considerate nature. When people argue, she does her best to become the voice of reason and help both parties to reconcile with each other. However, when others refuse her help and talk to her rudely, Julia tends to force her advice on them which at that point often already changes into personal critique.
Because of her curiosity, she loves watching determined Bladers during their battles and analyzes their individual motivations to become stronger. She has a habit of believing in the good side in every person, making her try to question people whose bad attitudes are more dominant.
She shows cleverness when it comes to pushing conversations into the direction she wants. Her greatest weakness, however, is that she feels overly embarrassed whenever she becomes very emotional.
Background:
Julia was born in Russia to the Yamamoto family. Shortly after the birth of her younger brother, Sebastian, her parents got divorced after a huge argument. Julia’s father moved back to his home country, Japan, and Lena Podolskaya decided to have Julia and her brother live under her own previous surname. From that day on, Julia’s childhood was characterized by the harsh treatment her miserable mother gave her. Julia was forced to learn how to sing professionally in order to help the family receive a good reputation. At the age of 15, Julia’s parents once again got into a conflict and finally decided to have Julia move to her father in Japan where she was supposed to expand her career.
Metal Fusion:
After Julia arrived in Bey City, she realized that her father was just as strict as her mother. However, due to his job, he had even less time for Julia and regularly sent her off to find a music agency on her own. On her way around the city, she discovered little kids who were Beyblading for the very first time. One of them was Kenta, and as a curious person, Julia asked him if she could watch his practicing. Her interest in the sport grew and together with her new friend Kenta, she bought herself a Beyblade, Divine Cassiopeia. From that time on, she began training in secret, lying to her father that she had found a music company.
Julia participated in the Survival Battle on the island and fought her first serious battles with other experienced Bladers. After Yu announced Battle Bladers and Ryuga appeared, Julia was fascinated by his dark and hateful aura. She later asked Ginga about the origin of Ryuga’s demeanor and learned about the dark power of L Drago. Julia’s beliefs made her set a new goal for herself: she wanted to find out more about the effect of the dark power on Ryuga, and even more about the guy himself who was said to control it.
Knowing from the others that Ryuga will participate in Battle Bladers, Julia tries to gather 50.000 points as well, but since she was still a beginner, she was not able make it and instead decided to support Kenta. After Ryuga’s first fight at Battle Bladers, she confronted him in a dark hallway, hoping to be able to build up a conversation with him. However, he fully ignored Julia’s approaches and as she lost patience and asked him what his problem was, he threatened her, pointing L Drago at her. Ryuga’s anger reminded Julia of her parents, resulting in her getting scared and running away. But despite her fear, Julia finds herself filled with determination to understand the dark Blader’s mentality.
Metal Masters:
Still hiding her true actions from her father, Julia spent even more time training with Kenta. One day, Chi Yun Li and Mei Mei from the Chinese representative team arrived at Bey City. Julia encountered Mei Mei while shopping and both recognized each other. They realized how much they enjoyed talking to each other became very close friends. After a while, Julia even admitted her fascination for Ryuga and Mei Mei advised her to keep trying to search for him. Taking her advice to heart, Julia traveled to Coma village, hoping to find personal information about Ryuga there. She met Hyoma and even without revealing each others’ goals at first, both of them get along well and later decide to search for Ryuga together, eventually finding him in a nearby volcano.
Hyoma wanted to convince Ryuga to help out Tsubasa, who was suffering from the dark power, but Ryuga kept refusing. Julia, however, was able to persuade him into going together to Rome with her. Thus, they took a plane provided by the WBBO and arrived at their destination. Much to Julia’s disappointment about still not being able to get answers from Ryuga, he once again left overnight without a sign after the battle Gan Gan Galaxy and Team Excalibur had.
As Julia wanted to travel back to Japan, she received a call from Mei Mei who had found out that Ryuga was seen in America through Beylin Temple four thousand year old information network. Knowing that Kenta was there as well, she gathered up all her courage and traveled even further away from home. Julia witnessed Ryuga’s battle against Jack and managed to once again oppose him alone after his battle. For the first time, he openly spoke to her, simply stating that the only thing he desired was power.
Metal Fury:
Because Julia had been present at the nomination ceremony for Gan Gan Galaxy, her father found out about her new hobby and tried to keep her at home. Kenta and Hyoma, who were worried about Julia’s sudden disappearance, managed to help her escape. Kenta told Julia about the encounter the group had with Ryuga on the Island and filled her in on the task concerning the start fragments. Since Kenta looked up to Julia for her mature way of thinking, he asked her about her opinion on his plan to follow Ryuga. Julia admired his resoluteness about helping the team out and supported his decision. Additionally, she wanted to come along which Kenta agreed to after she persistently asked him.
They track down Ryuga and follow him. The journey was very hard for Julia who had never been a physically strong person, but with the support of Kenta, she managed to keep Ryuga’s pace. Feeling responsible to help, she persistently tries to convince Ryuga to take Kenta seriously.
One night, Julia watches Ryuga leaving the camp fire. She follows him but gets caught. Knowing that people tend to be more emotional in the evenings, she approaches Ryuga once again, asking him what is wrong. He quietly answered that he was not able to sleep. Julia noticed his tired but relaxed expression, it made her remember that the Blader who holds the dark power and kept getting furious was actually a mere human, as well. Looking at him, she realized that her feelings for Ryuga might be more than just curiosity. That night, she fell in love. The confusion she felt about being in love for the first time hindered her from further talking to him and eventually, she fell asleep from the exhaustion of the day.
The next days, she was unable to talk to Ryuga the usual way because she felt uncomfortable with her new feelings. Kenta also noticed her quiet behavior. She did not know how to behave around Ryuga anymore, fearing she would say anything stupid. Unfortunately, she got sick one day with a bad fever. Although Kenta tried his best to help Julia recover, providing her with river cold towels, he was not able to cure her fever. That evening – much to Julia’s surprise – Ryuga wordlessly brought her herbal medicine that soon turned out to be a successful cure. Julia was flustered, wondering of Ryuga actually cared about her because he even stopped making rude comments.
Encouraged by Ryuga’s help, Julia began considering to confess her feelings to him. But the day she planned to, L Drago started to glow because of the star fragments and Kenta and Ryuga battled. Knowing that Ryuga would want to go after Nemesis, Julia blocked his way. Like two years ago, he got mad at her for standing in his way and threatened her with his Bey. However, this time, Julia answered him by launching Cassiopeia. She desperately tried to make Ryuga understand the danger of the situation and even started to cry as he did not listen. Seeing her tears, Ryuga stopped his Beyblade and embraced Julia, saying that he would definitely return as he is the strongest Blader in the world. But Julia was weakened from the battle and collapsed in his arms.
She woke up in the hospital from a sudden pain she felt in her chest. The lights in the hospital were flickering and Julia saw the news reporting about the battle that would decide the fate of the world. She got worried about Kenta & Ryuga and decided to call Mei Mei who explained the full situation to her. The doctors did not allow her to leave the hospital bed yet and so Julia stayed. In the middle of the night, she got another call from Mei Mei who revealed to her that Kenta was safe but Ryuga was gone. She ran out of the hospital and cried to the night sky. She tried to sing the saddest song she knew and because she had not trained her voice in a while, her singing sounded even more sorrowful. That moment, the star constellation “Draco” started shining brighter than ever above her. She looked up and found herself hearing Ryuga’s voice telling her that he promised to be alright. Her heart was filled with hope again as she finally felt to be able to understand him, knowing that he never breaks a promise.
Epilogue:
With the help of Ryusei Hagane, Julia managed to convince her father to continue Beyblading. In return, she promised to keep singing as she now felt filled with hope whenever doing so. One year later, Ryuga returned and Julia decided to never leave his side again.
