Julia Carlyle: Difference between revisions

Always a rebellious child, Julia discovered her powers at the age of seven (when she sprouted her wings for the first time), and for the next two years, found a great thrill in annoying her family members and neighbors in the upstate New York area (on and around the Carlyle estate). (It was revealed in the '[[Judith Strikes]]!' fic '[[Not So Different]]' that Julia lived at both her great-grandmother's estate, and in the affluent Denver, Co. suburb of Aurora with her mother and Paige - who she refers to fondly as '' 'Mommy Paige' '' - before she went to USAES.) She grew more daring, using her hyper-speed flight powers to travel around the world to various locations and having adventures. (Because of her habit of constantly disappearing and never being where she was supposed to be - even before her powers developed - Julia picked up the nickname 'Milky' (as in you'll have to put her face on a milk carton to find her.') She came to the attention of [[Professor Richard Hiram Blumenberg]] in the summer before her ninth birthday, who spoke to the Carlyle family about Julia attending USAES; he left after being given a resounding 'no' to the question, but was shocked when Julia showed up at USAES less than a half-hour after he had returned. (She used her powers of flight and tracking to follow him there.) After a spirited conversation on the phone, Julia was allowed to stay at USAES, and would become the final member of [[Training Cadre 2996]]. (She is also the youngest member of the cadre, being almost three years younger than the others.) In order to give her 'her own space', as well as a person outside of her cadre who she could feel comfortable with, the Professor assigned her as [[Sherrie Klein]]'s roommate. This was also a way to keep Klein (who was to be the final member of ''The Alliance'', had Julia not arrived) close to the group.
