Overall:Jules is a closeted lesbian, and she fears being outed and having people turn away from her as a result. So she tries to convince herself that she is straight and makes an effort to flirt with a lot of the guys, even date them just to cover up any suspicions of her sexuality.

Juliet was pushed into the role of the perfect daughter at home, she danced, and was pushed into beauty pageants all that stuff. She still continues to play that role, the nice, friendly, goodie two shoes that everyone admires and loves. However underneath that exterior is someone who is ambitious to the point of being ruthless. Growing up she learned that power and influence matters more than anything in the world and to do whatever is needed to get it. So she continues to have that mind set. Her goal is to become praetor. One of Juliet’s biggest fears is being an outcast and she thinks if she becomes praetor she wont have to worry about always having to be careful because she will have the respect of other campers.

Ever the strategist Jules is cold and calculating and is always planning and strategizing. Deep down she does care about her friends and camp mates but if it came down to them or her she’d help herself first. She does have her share of friends and is reasonably well liked, but she tends to hold others at an arms distance to keep them from getting too close and finding out her secret. Jules is organized, even to a point of micromanaging. She is a neat freak and cant stand the sight of messes or disorganized areas. Everything has to be perfect.

One of her best qualities though is her determination. Jules never gives up, she fights tooth and nail for what she wants. She fights hard is dedicated. During her time at Camp Jupiter she grew to love the camp and think of it as home and she will help defend it.

HISTORY

Born: Raleigh North Carolina
Homeland:Raleigh North Carolina
History:Well the beginning of Jules’ story started 16 years ago when a baby girl was found on the doorstep of a young up and coming politician Harry Duval and his wife Catherine. Being the good god fearing Christians they were they took in the poor abandoned child. Although if you looked closely you could see a small resemblance to Mr. Duval, and if you counted back about 9 months before the baby appeared you would note that during the time Mrs. Duval was away visiting her father and Mr. Duval seemed to spend a lot of time with a beautiful young woman who was supposedly his “campaign manager.” Anyway despite the initial reluctance of Mrs. Duval the couple took in the baby who they then named Juliet, and that was the start of their happy family.

The Duval family was very well regarded and respected. They were the picture perfect family. Harry Duval was a well respected charismatic senator who was loved by the people, and was planning on making a bid to run for governor. Catherine Duval was an interior designer very active with the church, and then there was little Juliet, who danced and participated in beauty pageants and was the supposed apple of her parents eye. Although that’s just what it looked like to the public on the inside it was a different story. While the woman she knew as her mother was so loving and nice in public, she barely looked at the girl in private. It hurt the girl and she didn’t understand it, she later found out when she was ten about an affair her father had and she was supposedly the result. Her father loved her though, although he always seemed to be busy with his work, with his campaigns, always wanting more and more, even after he became governor.

One thing that did get in the way of the Duval’s perfect family image though was Juliet’s performance in school. Being the governor’s kid she was sent to one of the best private schools in the state. However the child had ADHD and wouldn’t sit still and always seemed to be making trouble by making ridiculous claims like seeing a teacher with two snake tails for legs and snakes for hair, she also had dyslexia which caused her to struggle as well. She only seemed to really do well in PE, latin, and she also had a bit of a gift for understanding French as well. She was even almost kicked out at one point, however all it took was a little bribe and her father’s influence and the incident was forgotten.

Things went reasonably well, at least as much as it can for a young demigod, till she left her home when she was 11 and ran away. It just started with an innocent question "Can you get the same feelings you feel for a boy when you look at a girl?" She then admitted that she had a crush on one of the girls at school. Her father was enraged. He was raised in an extremely conservative community and believed homosexuality was a sin, and he didn't want his only daughter to commit that sin, especially since it may affect his campaign. He then tried to "beat the gay out of her" in an attempt to convert her. Jules was scared and didn't know what to do, so she ran away.

She started out with just a backpack full of clothes and 20 bucks and ran away. She then survived by hitch hiking, and living off the charity of others, all while avoiding the odd monster that always seemed to pop up, till finally she made it to the wolf house and was found by Lupa. It was a shock, monsters, talking wolves, finding out the Roman gods are real and finding out you're related to one. She eventually learned to accept it, because she had no other choice. Training was hard but she refused to give up and let herself get beaten after coming so far and going through so much, eventually she was deemed ready and managed to find her way to Camp Jupiter.

After finding Camp Jupiter she then met with the praetor and the augur and things seemed to be going well, although she was a bit taken aback by everything, it was beyond her wildest imagination, roman warriors, and Lares, and ancient roman architecture. She had to be careful to make sure she wasn't gawking too much. She smiled and was nice to the third cohort boy who was showing her around, maybe even leading him on a little but that was necessary, she might need something from him, especially if it meant getting a good rep and fitting in at Camp.

Anyway then came evening muster, which was one of the scariest moments of her life, having all those eyes on her sizing her up scrutinizing her. When asked for reference letters all the color left her face. What reference letters? She didn't know she needed reference letters? Where will she get a reference letter from? She thought she was gonna die luckily for her though a dove appeared, the symbol of Venus, and with it a reference letter from the goddess of love and beauty herself, claiming her as her daughter. All it took then was one smile towards the boy in the third cohort who showed her around for him to then stand in for her and she was accepted into the third cohort, thus beginning her life at Camp Jupiter.

RP Sample:

Juliet, better known as Jules to her friends sighed as she relaxed in the swimming pool, sighing as she felt water on her skin. It was incredibly relaxing, there really wasn’t anything like Camp Jupiter’s bathing facilities. Oliver, the boy who showed her around her first day was right, roman baths were the best, although at times they could also be pure torture too. She heard a few girls laughing as they splashed around in the pool and she had to make an extra effort to avoid looking at them. Jules absolutely hated being at the bath house when other girls were there. Looking at them, seeing them in a bathing suit, with all those curves? “Stop it!” Jules berated herself; don’t think about stuff like that, you know what people say about it, it’s weird and wrong. You like guys, remember, guys, because that’s the normal accepted thing.”
Yes, Jules knew she was lying to herself, but what was she supposed to do, she wanted to be praetor, she wanted her camp mates to love and admire her, she had to be what they wanted. Plus her mother was Venus, the Goddess of love and beauty, what would she think? “She must hate me.” Jules thought to herself. Children of Venus aren’t supposed to be gay, it just doesn’t work like that, it doesn’t happen. Her father told her it was unnatural. Still, she didn’t understand why was she even this way if it wasn’t natural? Why would her own mother make things so hard for her by making her attracted to girls? Was this some cruel sick joke? Well if it was she didn’t appreciate it. Love was supposed to be her mother’s domain but she was cursed in it. To be honest she was even tempted to join the hunters of Diana. “If mom doesn’t hate me already that may just seal the deal.” She thought to herself with a laugh, a daughter of Venus wouldn’t be caught dead with the hunters of Diana, at least as far as she knew. Although it seemed like they had it easy, at least they had an excuse not to be around boys, instead of like her having to fake interest in them. Plus, the immortality did seem like a pretty sweet deal. She probably couldn’t hack the lifestyle though, she never was a fan of camping, plus she had been at Camp Jupiter for 4 years now, she couldn’t imagine being away from it.
She then felt two arms around her and tensed before looking around to see Mark, her beard of the month. She faked a smile and kissed him “hey babe, how are you doing?” Admittedly there was that little voice that sometimes told her off for leading him on, but she had long since learned to tune out that voice. She needed him, not just for her reputation, but he cared about her. She felt safe with him, was it a selfish thing to want to have him around despite not returning his feelings? Maybe, but even if she didn’t want him in that way he was a great friend to her and she wanted to keep him around. She then turned around and playfully splashed him and laughed. He was someone she was glad she chose to use him this month.
