Julia Lindum

About
Julia is a member of the Leazas Royal Guard conformed by the strongest women from the military dedicated to protecting the Queen of Leazas. However, she didn't get into the royal guard because she's strong but due to family connections and is actually very weak and overall useless. She's a good friend of Queen Lia though. She's the prestigious daughter of the Lindum family and got into the Royal Guard due to her father's influence.

She made her first appearance in Rance IV as a member of the Rance Rescue Team that used Maria's aircraft to travel to the floating continent of Ylapu. She didn't contribute much and was defeated multiple times but she gave her best. She also appeareade in Rance 03 as a tourist guide, traveling all over Leazas with Aten Gnu to show her around. She eventually joins Rance's party during the chaotic war with Helman and the Dark Lords.

She formed a casual friendship with British, since she was very curious about a man trapped in a concrete wall. She started visiting regularly to give him company and to be told stories by him.

Personality and Appearance
Julia has a short orange hair and is most of the time seen with her golden armor of the royal guard. Sometimes, she's been seen with some modifications in her armor, wearing a pink skirt above the mails.

She is an innocent and childish girl with a cheerful and enthusiastic personality. She's very optimistic and joyful. She seems to be rather fond of food, since she's often seen eating and likes to share meals with British. Despite her enthusiastic attitude, she has a low opinion of herself and thinks she's useless. She's not very good at anything in particular and usually fails in what she does, making her a pretty mediocre soldier. She's not really depressed by this most of the time though and has learned to live with it. Weirdly enough, Julia has a ridiculous resistance to pain, sometimes being heavily wounded and keeping a cheerful and lively attitude or grabing her sword by the edge and not showing any signs of pain or even annoyance. She's not very bright and tends to believe in whatever anyone says, no matter how absurd, and she lacks all sorts of common sense.

She's a good friend with Queen Lia, due to working directly under her and being the same age. Lia likes her and allows her to do whatever she feels like for fun, like adding a Flag with Julia's face right under the Leazas Flag in the Leazas Castle.

Abilities
Julia is very weak in combat for her position. While she has a Sword Combat Lv1 skill and a pretty good cap of 38 giving her decent potential, her current level is only 14 though. She hasn't given much use to them and is usually pretty useless compared to those around her. She didn't get a proper training in the use of the sword either.

in rance 4 she can be left with the hanny king and get training to become a decent melee fighter.

In Rance 03 she actually used the sword inversely, grabbing it from the edge and hitting her opponents with the handle. Obviously, it wasn't very useful or powerful but it worked for her.

Trivia

 * In Kichikuou Rance she will become the General of the royal guard if Leila dies or is given to Nobunaga because no-one else is willing to take the role. If she's taken to the Hanny King, he can power-up her greatly or be given as a pet to make him join, depending on the player's choice.
 * In the Rance 03 popularity poll she was ranked 30th.
