Line 10:
Julia is a member of the uber-wealthy Clan Carlyle, a family that can trace its recorded ancestry as a distinct, separate faction within the [[Twelve Clans]] back over fifteen generations - to the birth of [[Majel Carlyle]], and her actions in the war of attempted unification of the Twelve Clans with [[The Elite]]. All members of the Clan Carlyle have metahuman powers, but are '''not''' members of The Elite, nor are they interested in revealing those abilities to the world in general. This is one of the mitigating factors that allowed the truce to be crafted, and also why The Elite has not tried to eliminate them, although it is almost certain that they have been in contact for various purposes over the centuries. The exact wealth of the Clan Carlyle is unknown, but they are easily one of the three wealthiest of the Twelve Clans and known as one of the wealthiest families on Earth; Julia's personal worth (due to her own trust fund and her family allowances) is in the three to six-billion dollar range.
The great-granddaughter of [[Miranda Carlyle]], Julia is incredibly attractive; she is 5'10 in height and weighs 125 pounds, with the traditional Carlyle birthright of long, dark scarlet hair and slender, with ''very'' long legs. Like the majority of 'Carlyle women', Julia has large, jade-green eyes; Julia, in fact, looks '''exactly''' like Majel Carlyle herself. (This was a factor in the naming of Julia, as she was given her ancestor's name, as well as 'Elaine' - Paige's grandmother's name. It has not yet been revealed how Juli was given her first name.)
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. (Despite her signature wings and sonic powers, the majority of Julia's abilities are psionic in nature, and Julia spends as much time in the Mental Enhancement as she does in the Metahuman Transportation and Travel program, and she wears both a platinum 'psi' symbol and a pair of platinum wings - the symbols of those programs.)
