Story

Season 1

Julie is first introduced in 2012 where she goes to Jeanne's mansion and begins her interview. She frequently makes comparisons between Jeanne's descriptions of the Japan of 1947 and the Japan of 2012.

Season 2

Julie starts interviewing Jeanne about the Soy Sauce War and briefly interviews Advisor Uedera about his side of things in 1948.

Season 3

Julie becomes acquaintances with Uedera's grandson Toratsugu and is presented with the idea that she may be chosen as Jeanne's successor.

Last Season

Julie finally hears of Jeanne's role in the story of Primavera, surprised that she wasn't nearly as charismatic as she made herself out to be.

After finishing her story, Jeanne takes Julie to visit the graves of her grandparents and reveals that they belong to Rose and Leo; Rose Haibara left City 23 after giving Primavera to Jeanne and changed her name to Hayashibara. Julie is then presented with the option of becoming Primavera's new Madam in the future and accepts, planning to go into the future and learn so she can measure up to Rose.
