After getting adopted, she wears a beautiful pink satin gown with long bell sleeves, ruffled sweetheart neckline, a short and lighter pink overskirt and matching bustle and back bow, white rose pattern on her skirt portion and a lighter pink underskirt; she also wears a pair of white tights, a pair of pink ballet slippers and matching Alice band; her hair also became sleek. She also wears a necklace with a pink tear-shaped pendant and matching crystals.

Whenever she goes to bed, she dons a deep blue satin nightgown with gold and silver accents, long balloon sleeves, a smocked empire waist and a skirt portion that billows around her ankles.

Whenever she goes to school, she wears a school uniform that consists of a white blouse, navy sweater vest and matching plaid skirt, a pair of white knee-length socks and a pair of brown loafers, respectively.

When she celebrated her birthday, she wore a light blue silk gown with sheer flutter sleeves, black floral patterns, a dark blue sweetheart neckline trim and matching bustle, respectively, in addition to a pair of white tights and a pair of dark blue ballet slippers; she also wore a gold crown in addition to a necklace with a lapis lazuli pendant and citrine crystals.

When celebrating Christmas/New Year’s, she wore a red satin and velvet gown with a white ruffled neckline trim, dark green bustle, long bell sleeves with white lace cuffs and a holly pattern, respectively; she also wore white tights, a pair of black knee-length lace-up boots, a red pendant and crystal necklace and matching Santa Claus hat and a pastel green winter shawl.

Personality
Julia is a kind-hearted, gentle young girl who happens to look up to those older than herself.

Her angelic personality is the reason everybody loves her; even Mitya and Motya can’t help but adore her either.

She doesn’t mind hearing Princess Luna’s beautifully soothing voice and also enjoys having Ekaterina comb her hair.

She deeply loves her adoptive mothers, due to their calm, loving nature, and always feels safe around them. Also, when she overhears Ekaterina accepting Princess Luna’s marriage proposal, she sighs happily prior to collapsing on her bed, very delighted that both of her adoptive mothers are getting married.

She’s also very ladylike and loves to wear beautiful dresses and play with dolls (Celesta is her favorite doll). She also has exceptional table manners.

She also loves animals and is willing to befriend them at her first opportunity.

In the fanfic
In “Motherly Love”, Princess Luna and Ekaterina come across Julia (who was roaming around in the streets) in their process of exploring Moscow; after successfully adopting her from the orphanage, both women had to bathe her in addition to dressing her up in a beautiful pink dress (which she currently wears). Afterwards, Princess Luna requests her servants to cook a warm meal for Julia; eventually after dinner, Princess Luna gently sends Julia into a peaceful trance with her beautiful voice while Ekaterina calmly and lovingly combs the young girl’s hair, after which Julia begins to lovingly cuddle both of the women (and vice versa) until it’s time for bed, during which Princess Luna sings her to sleep.

In “Leopold’s Get-Together Weather”, Princess Luna and Ekaterina bring Julia to Leopold’s dacha, during which the cat immediately grows to adore the young girl (as do Mitya and Motya); Julia also befriends Nadia, during which both girls end up playing together.

In “A Winter Night to Remember”, she celebrates Christmas/New Year’s with her adoptive mothers and her friends and even gets to meet Ded Moroz and Snegorochka.

Trivia
Julia’s pink dress is slightly inspired by Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty.

In “Motherly Love”, it’s revealed that her birth parents were drunkards who would beat her regularly until the cops arrested them and sent her to an orphanage.
