Personality
"'She always seemed so- tired. Tired and sad, and angry at the world. I never knew who to blame for it, my father or myself.'""-Mike, about his mother."Julia is a very worn-down woman. While quick to snark and sass those who annoy her she rarely goes further than that, and has been known to let slights against her slide for lack of energy. She doesn't seem to have anything she's proud of, and views herself as just living day-to-day without purpose. When confronted by her previous failure of abandoning her son, she deflected rather than deal with the guilt and attempted an air of superiority, showing an unwillingness to cop to her own mistakes.

Biography
Julia was still in high school when she met Michael's Father. The two started a relationship, but when Julia learned she was pregnant he ran out on her. Julia was forced to drop out of school and began working as a waitress to pay the bills, later giving birth to Michael.

Julia attempted to be a good mother for Michael for the first few years of his life, but couldn't help feeling some resentment towards the boy both for him stopping her from pursuing higher education and because she had to devote so much time and energy towards him that she herself was getting burnt out. Shortly before Mike was eighteen, the two had an altercation, and she ended up kicking him out with nothing but the clothes on his back.

She spent the next decade or so working dead-end jobs, wavering in and out of poverty. She seemed to fluctuate between guilt at having abandoned her son and relief that he was gone. When he confronted her as an adult, the two had an altercation that resulted in the two severing any bond they might have still had.

Trivia

 * Julia remains relatively unchanged from her canon counterpart, excluding the fact that she purposely abandoned her son rather than dying at a young age.
