My name is Juliet Foster.
I live by myself, in this huge old house.
I don't know who my parents are, but I know there's at least someone out there who cares about me, because every so often, I find that money or other things are just left here for me.
I don't really understand it, but that's always been the way my life was... I've always lived in this house, as long as I can remember. Always by myself...
I think there might have been a boy, back when I was really little, that stayed here with me sometimes.
Someone very kind, who took care of me and made me smile. But I don't really remember.
Sometimes I think I just made him up. Sometimes I think I remember him having purple hair and blue feathered wings, and then I know that I made him up. There's no such thing as a person with wings... no such thing as angels, right?
...
I don't really have any friends. The other kids at school hear about me and they think I'm weird or creepy, and the teachers worry about me when my parents never show up. Living like this... It's strange and lonely, but I get by alright. I'm sure everything will be better some day. Besides... Whoever it is that gives me everything left me such a big house. They must have done that for a reason, right? I know something is coming in the future. Something big.

And there we have it. I think I'm going to try to actually do a whole story narrated by Julie that follows this 'family'. Maybe. Once I start introducing all the others I might just switch to third-person narration... or might give up the actual storytelling aspect altogether. Hmm, nah, I think I do want to keep it story-style. Not writing a narration of what the sims do, but actually using them as a means of illustrating canonical IU. Should be fun.
For any unaware who stumble onto this, "Julie's Story" here is actually a sort of prologue for very old and very cherished story/roleplay/monstrous feat of imagination called Imperfect Unity (or more frequently IU), created by myself and my dear Mizufriend (halfelvenwitch.deviantart.com). It's not really a story with a plot so much as a history of sorts, about a certain group of characters thrown together under various, somewhat odd circumstances. Note the size of Julie's house, which was definitely made here as is for a reason (actually, I probably should have made the house even larger, but I got tired of building). If I stay with this, Juliet certianly won't be living alone forever. I'm just sad that, if I do it right, it'll be such a long time until Makari shows up.
By the way, assuming I do actually stick with this, it should follow the entire course of IU, so no need to worry if you don't already know the story. All the weird, vague references and foreshadowing will be explained in time.
Let's all hope I do keep it up, yes? And that at least one person actually reads and enjoys it, maybe.
