Like Juni
and the rest of the Shadaloo Dolls, Juli was kidnapped by Shadaloo at a young
age and enhanced with
the Psycho Drive to become an assassin and bodyguard for M.Bison.
Juli is the second oldest member of the Dolls and is often consulted for
advice by the other members. She is the most rational of the Dolls, but
sometimes she appears to be ruthless, possibly due to having her memory erased
several times. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, she was sent on a mission to take out Cammy.
However, Cammy convinced her that Bison was just using them. Returning, Bison intended to destroy all the Dolls
but they turned against him. Cammy helped bring him down, and then used
the Psycho Drive to restore the Dolls and send them away from the base. Long
after the events of Street Fighter Alpha 3, it is revealed that Juli's
real name is "Julia", and she is a descendant of the Thunderfoot
tribe. At some point, T. Hawk vowed to
locate her and bring her home.
After the apparent fall of Shadaloo, Seth
uncovered a plan to have the Dolls assassinate him and sent Juri
to the Sosna Research Facility, an old Shadaloo mountain base, to capture them
instead. After all the other Dolls are defeated, only Juli and Juni are left
and stand to face Juri. However Juri overwhelms them and, after knocking both
unconscious, loads them onto a plane to take back to S.I.N.
HQ. Cammy and Guile
attempt to prevent this but are only successful in rescuing Juni; Juli is
taken with the rest of the Dolls to Seth's Secret Laboratory where he plans to
experiment on them until they expire.
Eventually, Juli is somehow saved. In T. Hawk's ending, Rose
tells T. Hawk that Juli is now a shell of her former self, but that she will
tell Hawk where Julia is if he insists. Following Rose's directions, Hawk
finds Juli in a near-catatonic state in a cabin in the wilderness, being cared
for by an elderly couple. As Hawk draws near, Julia shows no sign of
recognition and continues to stare into space, (although a raindrop falls onto
the window and drops beneath her eye, possibly meaning a tear).
In Street Fighter V during the events of A Shadow Falls, Juli
and the other Dolls have been revealed to be recalibrated by F.A.N.G to set
his plan for Operation C.H.A.I.N.S. Juli like the other Dolls are under the
influence of its Psycho Powers facing off the fighters who are making their
final infiltration of Shadaloo and its main base. Juli fights off Cammy but
was defeated before she was beaten down by Vega. When Vega leaves due to Juri
and Decapre's intrusions she and the
other Dolls confront both Cammy and Decapre until they are free from its
influence due to Rashid destroys the device handed by F.A.N.G during their
confrontation.
