Julette is the independent fetch of Verona Hayward. Originally a disposable body double she gained sentience and volition. Originally deactivated for this Verona brought her back and is currently considering her for her familiar.
Personality[edit]
Is a facsimile of Verona's personality as created by Verona. Julette was given the ability to change herself relatively early but was also made to tell Verona about these changes.<ref>
- Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.7</ref> She became her own individual who wanted her own things.<ref> - Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.11</ref>
Upon gaining full independence Julette was able to joke like Verona playing with the Rule of Discourse<ref> - Excerpt from Hard Pass 22.5</ref> She
Relationships[edit]
Verona[edit]
As a fetch she became interested in supplanting Verona at one point.<ref> - Excerpt from Crossed with Silver 19.11</ref> After being offered the familiar position,<ref>
- Excerpt from Let Slip 20.3</ref> Julette accepted.
Jeremy Clifford[edit]
Wasn't programmed well enough to pass as Verona for Jeremy<ref>“Gotta improve this setup, you know? You were cold to Jeremy,” she murmured.
The other Verona blinked.
The books had outlined the method, the means of creating a copy of herself to serve a purpose. Faerie used these sorts of puppets to cover their tracks. If the glamour was good, a child could be stolen away and a double like this left in their place. There were tells, and there were issues. It took a skilled Fae to craft one that had rich emotions and the ability to convince even close family members. That kind of skill tended to require more years than a human lifetime contained.
She’d managed okay. Only the Jeremy thing had stood out. - Excerpt from Fall Out 14.3</ref> He considered confronting "Verona" due to this cold shoulder.<ref> - Excerpt from Fall Out 14.6</ref>
Verona's Mom[edit]
The women put a sleeping cat form Julette into a cat carrier.<ref>Verona [...] looked up at her mom. “How did you even get her in there?”
“I waited until she was asleep, eased her inside. She caused such a ruckus.”
[...]
Julette gave their mom a betrayed look, and, with the subtle pressure of Verona’s hand, collapsed against Verona’s front, liquid-cat form. - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.z</ref> Julette did not like this.
Appearance[edit]
Looks like Verona but after fully realizing her Self Julette started differentiating. While still able to pass as verona she useually takes on a mirrored color scheme she shares the black cat form Verona sometimes takes.<ref>Verona reached into her coat, lifted out a small black cat, and placed it on top of the box. “Watch her.”
[...]
Black, with white edges around the eyes and mouth.
[...]
“The face, it looks like Verona’s mask?”
“It is,” Verona replied. “Test run.”
[...]
“Give me a shred of a benefit of a doubt? I got here by dwelling on it for a little while. I’ve been wrestling with a lot of the… not this exact problem, but a lot of problems together, that all get pretty neatly solved by going this way. Sit on it, actually take the time to think about how it could work, before shooting it down? I’m pretty sure any immediate reaction or worry you’re having, I’ve already considered at least a little. And I’m not doing this right now. She and I are hanging out, seeing if she’s comfortable with this shape. Not that she couldn’t become me again.”
[...]
Julette leaped from Snowdrop’s arms, then shucked off the glamour. She became ‘Verona’, white and black stripes inverted, wearing a white coat instead of a black one, the cat mask on. - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.4</ref>
Abilities and Art[edit]
Julette has Verona's artistic skills though not with the same scale focus.<ref name=":2"/> She's good enough at school work but is bad at group collaboration<ref>[Verona] set the mask down on top of her bag, checked her homework, but didn’t start it. She’d have to do that later. It was the one trick with the fetch. The fetch could bring her notes and she was doing okay now. A little less great on the recent test than she wanted, suggesting she needed to study up and that fetch notetaking alone wasn’t quite enough, but doing okay. Homework was the thing she had to do on her own, though. And apparently the fetch wasn’t super great at group activities. Which was mostly fine when none of her classes involved much. - Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.1</ref> Was given a ward so she didn't absorb Brett's negativity.<ref name=":7">“You’re not absorbing any of that negativity or anything?”
“Nah. Not since the little ward you put inside me.”
“Good stuff. Does he suspect you’re not the real me?”
Fetch-Verona snorted.
- Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.7</ref>
As a constructed being she can take a large amount of damage without dyeing.<ref>The homunculus lieutenant hit Julette, caving her chest in, and fell over, slipping. Homunculus falling left, Julette falling right.
[...]
Verona picked her way past the snow, walking over to Julette. She removed the silence rune. “Alive?”
“Ow.”
“Mending?”
“Very, very slowly.” - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.e</ref><ref> - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.z</ref> But it is still possible to destroy her so that she can't be brought back.<ref>
“Minor,” Verona said. She met Lucy’s eyes. “For me at least. My cat might’ve died.”
“I know.”
“I kinda really liked her, she was cool. What the fuck?”
“I know. But she’s come back from being badly hurt before, right?”
“Nine lives?” Avery asked.
“Should’ve worked that into her somehow. What the fuck.” More of a statement than a question from Verona, there. - Excerpt from In Absentia 21.1</ref>
Spells, Rituals, and other Feats[edit]
Knows her own construction inside and out.<ref name=":2">Melissa stabbed the end of her cane into the edge of the very solid table, in Julette’s general direction, and leaned forward into the handle. “What about you?”
“Without giving too much away… [...] Body double. Cushy gig, mostly. Boys. Lazing around. Art. I get to look over her shoulder while she’s doing the magic stuff. I’m involved, without all the hassle. She bounces ideas off me. I’m just different enough from her, I don’t tell her exactly what she already knows and thinks.
[...]
Julette picked up the mannequin head, and turned it around. “I’ve been getting into sculpture. I help with the building. I really like seeing how things are put together. How people are put together. Clothes, sometimes. How Others are.”
[...]
She was a student of how Others were put together. Herself most of all. It was important, as this very scenario illustrated. - Excerpt from Let Slip 20.z</ref>
