[hr][color=a187be][i]Quirk: Perfect Recall[/i][/color]

[indent]At first believed to be a late-bloomer or perhaps not aware of her own quirk, Julia's ability manifested in an unexpected way that led to a greater understanding of the way in which quirks often mix and merge together between families. Primarily driven off her father's Zoom and her mother's Introspection quirks, what has resulted is a mutation that allows Julia to theoretically permanently retain memories in both her mind and body. She can remember everything from the day she turned four, in intricate detail to the point of remembering scents and sensations of that particular moment. But that's not the primary ability of her quirk or the most useful by far, even if the potential for it is great. Where Julia has made maximum use of this quirk is in her physical ability, as it also affects her muscle memory. Every motion of her body, every slight adjustment of strength and agility, and every learned move she is able to recreate at a whim. This has resulted in a large number of mastered martial arts forms and a much more toned and fit body than even the most athletic people of her age.[/indent]

[color=a187be][i]Quirk Weakness:[/i][/color]
[indent]There are, of course, the very obvious weaknesses of a quirk such as this. Primarily and most obviously is that she can't recreate what she hasn't done before. She can make the attempts over and over again to execute a specific move, but if she hasn't done it then her quirk won't let her recreate it. So just because she may be a black belt in Krav Maga or a white belt in Pencak Silat, doesn't mean she can perform moves from Tai Chi. Then there is a more present downside in that while in a world of quirkless, Julia would potentially be quite potent and incredibly skilled… Her quirk tends to fall short when compared to people with laser eyes, gigantification or the ability to freeze others solid just for being a simp. It is a very subtle quirk that requires an intelligent application of force, and well… Julia can really only do the latter part of that at the moment. But there is also another downside which her mother has been documenting slowly over the course of her life, in that there is the theory that her quirk is more taxing on her body and brain than she may otherwise be aware, and that it may have been holding her back through much of her childhood. It's a theory, but considering Julia isn't exactly the brightest…[/indent]

[hr][color=a187be][i]Personality:[/i][/color]
[indent]Everyone's first friend is Julia, one way or another. That's been her mindset for a while now, seeing everyone around her as a friend either now or later, and approaching everything with enough cheer to make even the preppy girls cringe a bit. Normally that, alongside her being a bit of a fucking weeb, would have put most people off from interacting with her, and initially it very much did. Julia however, lacks in social skills to the point of it looping around and leaving her rather ditzy and cheerful behavior actually kind of charming. It's the vibrant enthusiasm that leaves her to be sure to include literally everyone in group activities whether they like it or not, or the way she goes out of her way to introduce herself to each and every person in class, and of course that violent enthusiasm for friendship. With Julia there's a pretty high chance of beginning a long and eventful friendship with either a crushing handshake, a punch in the face or a random hug. She's still working on that last one though, since not everyone appreciates a random hug. Especially strangers, oddly enough.[/indent]
[color=a187be][i]Background:[/i][/color]
[indent]For all that Julia is, that vibrancy and carefree nature that seems to infect those around her, it can often be easy to forget that her name is one very familiar to the world and a driving force behind many sectors. Falkenrath is an inheritance that she knows intimately for at the very least a drive through any major city will see the name across the top of buildings for one of the many subsidiaries, and a good third of modern heroes utilize support items from her family's company. Their meteoric rise coincided with much of her early childhood and just before, where her mother Clarissa Jahagirdar joined her biotech firm with then Falkenrath Industrial and met her father Isaac Falkenrath, the prodigal son as it were of Siegfried Falkenrath who brought about a new era of hero suit design. Within a few years they had formed the backbone of Falkenrath Group and the dozen companies under it, blossoming into a powerhouse of science and technology as well as a relationship between the two young pioneers.

And sixteen years ago as their names were on the lips of every major official from LA to Moscow, Julia was born between them and stood to inherit more than just the company. From an early age, almost as soon as she let out her first breath, she was put forward as the future of Falkenrath. Her mother wrote almost a hundred pages on the biology behind quirks and how they are inherited from one generation to the next, as well as factors such as potential intelligence, strength, natural beauty and so on. On the other hand, her father really just wanted her to be happy, and as the young heiress grew up it soon became clear who would win out on that debate. Because as she entered into school and started to establish herself more and more, her parents came to one stunning conclusion. Julia was dumb as shit. She had a pretty good memory for her age as she passed that threshold for displaying her quirk, and that was about all that seemed remarkable.

Well, at least until she was in elementary and discovered bullying. Being just a smol and not really caring much about other people's opinions even then, Julia had a love for anime and everything associated with it. So there she was at the age of 10 and just vibing with the loose-fitting t-shirt of G Gundam that she still loves, and someone decided to inform her that her opinion on anime was wrong in the way kids do. This was the moment where her mindset on things changed just ever so slightly, as even then she had a bit of a stubborn streak to her, and all she thought about was getting even. Cue the long conversation between her father and a ten year old with only one thing on her mind, and eventually as usual the adult gave in. Only problem was that her father wasn't exactly experienced with these things and her mother had insisted that calling the school and making a scene about it would only make everything significantly worse. That and just picking up and moving wouldn't solve anything either, so he did what any dad would do and reached out for a self-defense instructor.

And that's how after a month of training Julia ended up putting her instructor on the mat with only having done the moves once, showing for the first time her quirk in action. And that's also how after her father made the mistake of getting an instructor in Pencak Silat of all things, Julia was suspended from school for three months for putting a kid in the hospital with six broken bones.

So anyways, six years later and she's become a bit of a significant emotional event, going so far as to win a recommendation to a hero school of her choice through her middle-schools athletics programs. All of them. Not satisfied with just the regular track and cross-country, she competed in as many as she physically could and still have time for study, which was the only thing that kept her from failing her classes. As it turns out, when the entire curriculum is based around memorization, someone with perfect memory would find it very hard to fail even while being dumb as a box of rocks, which served as a point of frustration for more than just her mother for once. Though there was that bit of pride of sorts in seeing her daughter literally punch her way to a scholarship to any school of her choosing. And since she had somehow managed to pick up German from her father, Hindi from her mother, Japanese from anime and a couple other languages she could literally go anywhere.

But for Julia there was the one school above all others that had the hearts and minds of potential heroes everywhere. UA. Known to be the foremost in hero academies across the world and where some of the best came from, it was where someone went if they wanted to go pro, and for most graduates it was a guarantee. It was also the one place more than any other that could actually help her realize her quirk into something more than just something that made it convenient to memorize things. And when your classmates are looking to become heroes with things like laser eyes, lightning feet and all those other flashy powers, even someone as cheerful as Julia can sometimes feel just a little less than her friends.[/indent]

[color=a187be][i]What was a fateful moment in the recommendation:[/i][/color]
[indent]As it turns out, even when being recommended by her family's company Falkenrath Group, and having a scholarship from the US for punching real good, there are still a few things to sort out before just walking into class and calling it a day. First obstacle was to even get there, and right there on the day of the recommendation exams Julia managed to make it just in time with a late flight across the world. One task completed, then came the moment of dread. The Written Exam. Part of it was easy enough and she breezed through the first half since it was all things she could remember from school and watching various docu-dramas about heroes. The second part though… Well, to say she very nearly failed would be an understatement. There were a few concerned looks among the teachers reviewing her "Critical Thinking" section, noting how most of the problems just had a scribbled "Fuck them up!" as the answer. Even the hostage situations.

So with it pretty clear she wasn't exactly going to be a rescuer, they sent her ahead to the practical anyways where she met the third hurdle. The other students. One of them seemed very familiar to her somehow, like maybe it was at some convention or another, or maybe online, but she looked familiar. Mira as she was introduced, seemed to be nice enough, and well it's nigh impossible to get on Julia's bad side, so a friendship of sorts was started just before the shot that announced the beginning of the 6km footrace. When compared to some of the other quirks on display at first she felt a little disadvantaged and that she wasn't going to make it, but steadily she pressed on until her impressive stamina kept her consistent enough to gain some score back from the written exam. It was all in good fun for her, barely breaking a sweat as she laughed at the finish line and chatted with the other students, her easy-going nature already forgetting they had just been competing against each other for what had been explained as limited spots.

There was that small matter of the interview though, and as she talked with the resident guest-teacher Matsumoto Kiryu, it seemed as if she may not get that spot until asked why it was that she wanted to be a hero.

And then the UA examiners had them spar, where she showed how she knew eight different martial arts and had to explain to Kiryu how the white belt was actually the highest rank in Pencak Silat while helping him up to a bit of mutual laughter.[/indent][/hider]
