Personality and Facts
Julie is a fun-loving, happy girl, but prone to fits of despair at the upheaval of the world around her. She finds it a duty to stand up against the prejudices of the past, as opposed to Ivy, with whom she sometimes fights because Ivy is more concerned with keeping life the way it is and not getting into trouble. This is at least partially because she herself is affected by them, tormented by the class rumour mill for being a tomboy, an athlete and a child of divorce, but she also feels for the other people who may be affected. Though Julie has to deal with all of the above, she faces it more courageously and optimistically than her sister Tracy, who whines and goes into denial about the divorce, refuses to speak with her father and says she'll never be normal again. This is something that she has in common with her mother, who left her life as a housewife to become an entrepreneur; it is implied in Meet Julie both in the main story and Looking Back sections that Joyce and Daniel divorced because he disagreed with her independence and decision to enter the workforce, and he expresses similar disapproval of Julie's wish to play basketball in the boys' league, even though he taught her how to play.
