“I got to know a woman who would bet on the best in us, who bet on people, no matter what the world said about who they were, who they should be. That woman would do anything to save a sick boy—a Nazi boy, even—because she would believe he deserved the chance, as slim as it might be, to live a valuable life...Millions of people will live because of the choice you made. The goodness in you, Juliana.
~ Hawthorne Abendson


Juliana Crain is the daughter of Anne Walker and her late first husband John Crain, the older maternal half-sister of Trudy Walker, and the stepdaughter of Arnold Walker. She is an American who lived most of her life in the Japanese Pacific States, recently defecting to Nazi America in order to find George Dixon. She is also one of the main characters of the novel and series.

Biography

Early Life

Juliana was born to John Crain, an American soldier who died during the war, and his then-wife Anne Crain, who would later remarry his friend and Army buddy Arnold Walker. Juliana was alive when the Japanese invaded, and since her mother often wasn't around, she would look after her younger sister, Trudy. She grew up in the Japanese Pacific States, and did not have the same hatred of them her mother did.

However, at some point, she felt alone, depressed, and without hope and stepped in front of a bus in a suicide attempt. Frank met her in the hospital while volunteering or visiting his friend Ed who had a lung condition. Frank helped her recover, and it's hinted that she may be infertile because of the 'accident'. After the accident, she frequented an aikido dojo and became exceptionally skilled at it, able to take down a man twice her size.

Season One

In San Francisco, she witnesses the death of her sister Trudy by the hands of the Kempeitai. Before dying, Trudy hands her a film. She reaches Canon City, where she meets Joe Blake. Juliana goes in place of her sister Trudy and attempts to find her contact, which ultimately fails when The Marshall nearly kills her and Joe Blake. She returns to San Francisco to find her boyfriend Frank in trouble with the Kempeitai. They try to flee the Pacific States but fail twice as a result of interference with the Resistance. She betrays the Resistance and lets Joe Blake flee San Francisco, resulting in her getting locked up by the Resistance.

Appearance & Personality

Juliana is an intelligent albeit naive individual. She cares deeply for those around her, which often leads her into trouble. She is quite optimistic and, unlike Frank, believes whole-heartedly in the films and their ability to change life as she knows it.
