Julia Davis


Julia hasn't let the loss of her left leg below the knee or Hoenn's recent hardships keep her down. An upbeat, friendly woman of 21 years old, Julia decided to become a Pokémon Ranger to repay them for saving her life and help people and Pokémon alike in the wilderness of Hoenn. She's still not a fan of caves after what happened to her, but she's willing—eager, even—to explore the rest of what the region has to offer and meet as many people and Pokémon as she can.

Generally, Julia is a straightforward person who acts on what she's feeling and has a traditional sense of justice and morality. She understands that the world is complicated, but isn't that all the more reason we should try to keep things simple? Or is that just her way of coping with the harsh realities of the world? Either way, she always tries to look on the bright side of life and do good for the people and Pokémon around her. It's better than dwelling on all the bad things and spiraling into depression.

Plot Hooks


  • Fellow Rangers/League Members: Julia would love to meet her fellow Rangers, and there are a lot of angles to work from, too. Maybe you were Julia's mentor when she was still a Trainee/Rookie. Or maybe you're just going on a mission with her! Her mission tracker is here.
  • Rivals: The friendly kind! After all, a good competition helps people build their strengths.
  • Rockets and Other Criminals (updated): After learning about 's time in Rocket and her encounter with and , Julia has become more determined than ever to stop Rocket's nefarious plots. However, she's also realized just how dangerous Rocket's top brass can be. She can't stop them alone, but that doesn't mean she won't try.
  • Facing Her Fears (new!): Ever since the accident that took part of her leg, Julia has been afraid of caves and other enclosed spaces. She still isn't sure if the events of Postdormitum made her fear better or worse, but either way, she wants to conquer it once and for all.

Current Relationships


Acquaintances


Julia may not know these folks very well yet, but she'd love to get to know them better!

: Group camp host
When Ash put out a call for a group to go camping with, Julia happily hopped on board! She's only met him for that, but she appreciates his efforts putting everything together. If only she knew what he'd been up to lately...

: Seems energetic and friendly
Though Julia hasn't had much chance to talk with Ever Grande's Ranger Captain, he seems to match Julia's friendliness and optimism perfectly!

: Fellow amputee
Julia has yet to talk to Orion personally, but she feels solidarity with him as a fellow amputee. She's disgusted with what Rocket did to him.

: A good kid
Julia partnered with Hideo to investigate some missing Wooloo. As someone who also has a disability, she thinks he's a good kid with a lot of future potential!

: New Ranger friend
Julia met Oliver in the March 2023 Rangers meeting but didn't get much chance to talk to him. She'd like to, though, especially since he seems to know Shalin.

: Don't judge a book by its cover!
When Julia first met Jett during Postdormitum, she thought he looked mean, but he quickly proved himself to be a friendly and supportive guy with a wild streak. She also appreciates his straightforward yet nuanced stance on morals.

: Ally in a hopeless battle
Julia and Navy got caught up in a battle against and during Postdormitum. Despite their best efforts, the Rocket duo was too powerful for them, and Navy disappeared into a rift in the end. Julia hasn't seen him since then and hopes he's okay.

: Respect for the dead
Julia helped and some others, including , , and , prepare a burial mound for the fallen Calyrex and fix its statue.

Friends


Exactly what it says on the tin! Julia's the type to make friends easily, especially with good-hearted people who enjoy being active like she does.

: Adventuring buddy and new Ranger
Julia first met Shalin in an arcade, and the two became fast friends thanks to their mutual love of adventure. They even explored the mysterious Mirage Palace together and both fought in the battle for Littleroot! In the March 2023 Rangers meeting, she found out that Shalin had signed up for the Rangers and is eager to help her friend out.

: It's complicated, and not in the usual way
For a while, Julia knew Isaac as two different people. One was the Rocket known as Blackjack, whom Julia got into a high-speed chase with but then formed an unusual alliance with to stop some poachers. The other was simply Isaac, the man she went camping with and whose life she saved thanks to happenstance. She was in disbelief when she discovered that they were the same person, but she realized that he was still her friend. After she learned more about his reasons for joining Rocket, she became more determined to stop them and keep good people out of its ranks. She suspects that he's 's brother but doesn't yet know the full story.

: Friend and coworker
Julia and Josh forged their friendship primarily through Ranger work together. She respects his earnest determination, especially with pursuing Raikou, and is proud of all he's achieved. However, she thinks he's a bit too stubborn sometimes, especially after his actions during the Mauville riot.

: Wild little sister
Julia was the first to find Ettie, a wild child being raised by a pack of canine Pokémon. Julia helped bring her into society and sees herself as a big sister to the girl. When they worked together to stop some Wooloo thieves, Julia saw just how capable Ettie was.

: Ranger protégé
Julia is proud to have been an inspiration for El to join the Rangers. She's determined to be the best mentor she can be for them and is proud of the progress they've already made, especially during Rusted Shield. She knows something is up between them and but isn't quite sure what.

More Than Friends


Could Julia be falling in love? I don't have any real romance plans for her; I just like it when relationships develop organically, as long as everyone is on the same OOC page.

No one... yet!

Platonic Admiration


People that Julia looks up but doesn't necessarily know that well! These can include fellow Rangers or other League officials who have had an impact on her.

: Good Head Ranger
From what she's seen of him, Julia is proud to have Laurence Anderson as her Head Ranger.

: Big Josh is a good Josh
"Big Josh" earned a lot of Julia's respect for his calm handling of the outrage at the August 2022 Rangers meeting and his cool holo-glasses.

: Her captain
Fortree's newly appointed captain immediately earned Julia's respect when he jumped to his city's defense during the August 2022 Rangers meeting.

: Lilycove's cool captain
Julia got to work with Lilycove's Ranger Captain to settle a dispute between two troops of wild Pokémon, where he proved to be a good, chill mentor to Julia.

: Protector
Julia first encountered Lt. Colonel Sullivan as he helped evacuate people when a space-time distortion appeared in Fortree. Then, they fought together in Littleroot during Meteno's fall. The poor guy's clearly been through a lot, and Julia respects him for all she's seen him do despite whatever hardships he may have faced.

: Fortree's Bird Father
Julia's seen his prowess in both Silph Cups, and his Salamence helped her get out of Littleroot, something she's super-grateful for.

: Silent respect
Julia wants to thank the former Head Ranger for what she did for Isaac on Mt. Pyre, but doing so would reveal Isaac's identity.

: Proof of redemption
To Julia, Rowan is living proof that someone can leave Rocket behind and live a better life. She encountered him in the March 2023 Rangers meeting but has yet to speak to him.

Enemies


Julia usually doesn't make enemies easily, but lately, her dislike of Rocket's crueler members has grown.

: Rocket on a spectral horse
Julia knows basically nothing about this woman, but she tried to stop the Primal Point from firing and saving Hoenn.

: Disgust
Julia will never forget the sight of a Rocket throwing a Molotov at a house, potentially hurting innocent people.

(disguised): The thief that got away
During Postdormitum, Julia tried to stop Makoto from stealing some League documents. Unfortunately, thanks to some dirty tricks, Makoto got away.

: Trickster with words
Julia found Shizue harvesting Zubat corpses during Postdormitum. The not-quite-Rocket tried to convince Julia that her morals were wrong and called the Ranger a child throwing a tantrum. It's safe to say that Julia's not a fan.

& : Fear and loathing
These two Rockets attacked Julia and during Postdormitum. They proved to be too powerful for Julia and her new ally and even tried to kill Julia, but she managed to get away. To Julia, they are the ultimate example of the evil power that Rocket wields and why the organization needs to be taken down. She's also convinced that their love is fake because surely, two people that horrible could never love anyone.

(disguised): Memories are precious
Her only interaction with the disguised Mint is when he mocked 's efforts to honor the deceased Calyrex. Julia retorted that memories are precious. She doesn't have much other reason to dislike him aside from his presumed Rocket allegiance, though.

Uncertain


People Julia isn't sure what to think of or has mixed feelings about.

: Jerk on her side
He may be a fellow Ranger, but Julia still thinks a jerk for what he said in the August 2022 Rangers meeting. Even if he was maybe a tiiiiiiiny bit right.

: Gaining respect
Though she wasn't a fan of his rudeness in the August 2022 Rangers meeting, she respects his spoken dedication to the Rangers as one of its new Heads. She'll have to see him in action to form a solid opinion, though.

: Enemy who helped
Julia fought with a half-masked Cade during the battle for Littleroot, where he used dirty tactics to get her to flee. But then, after Julia had been caught in the Primal Point's explosion, he handed her a first-aid pouch, saying he didn't want to see her die. Julia still doesn't understand why. She kind of wants to ask him herself.

Julia worked with Talia to protect a nest of snakes. She thinks Talia is cool, graceful, and kind.

Ever needs more upbeat in his life. It helps they’re both neighbors and coworkers. They’re also close in age with him only being a year younger than her. He’s just started his ranger training and had Josh Devlin as a mentor but I wanted mind doing some ranger missions with her. Due to a rough childhood he’s jaded and distrusting of those around him. So he would have trouble warming up to her. I feel she would eventually be able to get behind his walls though.
