Character+Development

Juliana

Her wish for youth will lead her down a different path then the one she intended, because being young interferes with her lifestyle. She is quite naive for an adult. She does not realize what is going on around her and makes simple, uneducated decisions. She regrets many of her decisions and is not very independent. She is kind to all she meets and assumes the best in the worst situations. She is an optimist. **If this character could choose a different identity, who would s/he be?** Janet Holmes à Court Pop, rock, music she can dance to Her husband, Andrew because she is not confident in her own choices. Casablanca A splurge pair of black Christian Louboutin heels from her honeymoon trip to Paris Unecessary cursing. When in difficult situations, Juliana chooses to expel her anger in the form of cursing. Her daughter, Chloe who is the joy in her life even after she moves away. To never age, but live a normal life; and impossible combination. Being able to put herself through school by herself when her parents could not support her with the help of Andrew. Juliana's most embarassing moment was when she was being interviewed to work at the advertising company she works at now. She put on some lipstick and sniffed back a cold into her tissue before coming in to her potential boss' office. As she stepped in, she looked in a mirror of the office and saw she had smeared the lipstick all across her cheek in the process of wiping her nose. She hurriedly returned to a bathroom to clean up before returning to the interview, all the while dying of embarassment Choosing to drink the drink from the mysterious voice when she did not know its contents. Not being able to control the outcome of everything in her life Living alone in mental old age having burned her bridges with friends and Chloe and Andrew being long gone. Creating the life she wanted (before eternal youth) after coming out of a tough home life. That she will learn to fit in somewhere, someday. She has to have an agenda with her or else she will forget things in her schedule Not having her parents be able to support her through university. A nightmare where she is falling from the sky and she sees pieces of her life falling around her Her inner self. She is her toughest critic, and is constantly trying to please herself with what she has accomplished Irene. She tries her best for her family, but was limited by income when her kids were growing up. She lived happily with Juliana, Juliana's older sister, Angela, and her husband, Henry. Irene is hard-working, kind, and unselfish, but has a short-temper. Someone Juliana can ask anything to. Thick auburn hair and green eyes. Henry. Worked hard with Irene to support his daughters. He is loyal, protective, open-minded, and caring, but at times is over-protective. Someone who Juliana looks to for support. Brown hair with flecks of grey and hazel eyes. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Father. Though he is not perfect, she respects him very much. Juliana loves her mother, but her temper is sometimes difficult to handle. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Where does this character fall in birth order? What effect does this have? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Juliana is younger than her sister, Angela. When she was little, Juliana would have less work to do in the home than Angela. As she and Angela grew up, Angela was able to receive the big things she wanted (i.e. tution for university) while Juliana had to pave her own way. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Juliana is very close to her sister, Angela. Angela is the person that she shares anything and everything with, and is always there when she needs her most. Angela gives her younger sister advice through her experiences and hardships, and is kind, funny, and loyal. Angela is two years older than Juliana, and was able to go to university on a partial scholarship and with the help of her parents. Angela has moved to Halifax, but stays in contact with Juliana by phone every evening. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Juliana's bedroom is painted grey-ish blue with white and silver accessories. In her room, she also has a window which looks out onto a nearby park. Juliana has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet attached to her room as well. The three cherished items in her room are a framed 30th birthday photo, a bracelet with the inscription "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined" given to her by her parents, and a shell her sister brought back to her from Halifax so they could always hear each other on opposite coasts. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">January 10,1981 (Capricorn)
