Self-conscious about her height (4'11"), her Austrian dialect (less strong than most, but still noticeable), and the scar on her leg (which she tries to avoid letting anyone see). Hates being patronised about her failures, but also fiercely proud of her successes.<br/><br/><strong>Back-story:</strong>Julia has been around snow all her life. Growing up in the Austrian Alps, she was being taken out on the slopes since before she could walk, her mother dragging her on a sled. She became a proficient skier, and then graduated to snowboarding. She became well known on the local slopes and gained a sponsorship contract to start competing, winning medals at the Austrian, then European, and then World Junior Championships, the latter qualifying her for the 2012 Winter Olympics. She was considered a medal contender and hyped in the press as "The Little Wonder" (a nickname she came to hate) because of her petite stature, youth, and skill. Unfortunately, the morning of competition she washed out in a training run, breaking her leg extremely badly. She never got a chance to compete and limped home for extensive rehab. Months later, she decided it was time to put snowboarding behind her and move on, going to university in Germany to escape Austria, and vowing never to return.<br/><br/>But to her surprise, she found herself in the same class as Kathryn, a childhood friend. Julia had made extra money tutoring snowboarding when she was just a teenager, and Kathryn had been in one of her classes. She'd recognised the girl's talent and encouraged her, and they had stayed in contact intermittently through the Internet. The last couple of years had seen them become estranged as Julia concentrated on competition and then hid away from the world, but now they reconnected, reminiscing about numerous old times. Soon her friend was tempting her back onto the slopes with the idea of a spring holiday, and she agreed to once more snap on the board and hit the snow. At least this time there would be no medal hopes.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Snowboarding gear</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Helmet:</strong><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/w2DptYS.jpg)<br/><strong>Gloves:</strong><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/m0XbjC5.jpg)<br/><strong>Jacket:</strong><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/ARLouVU.jpg)<br/><strong>Pants:</strong><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/SE5ff1X.jpg)<br/><strong>Boots:</strong><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/1hKKIbRh.jpg)<br/><strong>Board:</strong><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/Csr2f9ch.jpg)<br/><br/><br/></div></div><br/><strong>Other:</strong>In terms of the horror setting, Julia is probably more of a "screamer" than a "let's kick this guy's ass! action girl". I leave it up to the other players to decide how much of her past they know: it's reasonable to assume she was a minor celebrity, but she would not have mentioned it to people and purposely chose Germany over Austria to avoid that kind of thing. She's childhood friends with Kathryn. She's studying Economics.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual preference:</strong>Bi-curious. Relatively sexually submissive but also curious and trying to expand her horizons.
