What would Julia do if she saw another woman making moves on Price before they got together?
[Julia is, by nature, a very self-doubting and anxious individual. I’ve said in skype chats before that even in the early days of her relationship with Price, if another woman showed interest she would start thinking to herself that this woman is better and won’t drive Price up a wall with her issues and becomes generally uncomfortable and fearful of rejection. It takes a lot of work for Price and others to convince her she is good enough and her problems and perceived flaws do not make her incapable of being loved.
You give her that same sort of interaction without the safety net that is ‘He chose me and he’s still going home with me and loves me’ then we have a ticking time bomb of self-loathing, Russian style. Considering Julia presently is at a place where she denies to herself that she has romantic feelings for anyone, especially Price, the sheer emotional chaos this would put her in is kind of staggering. She would not understand her own jealousy, Price is a man she admires and respects and she should be happy that someone is interested in and can distract him from work.
It’s basically a whirlwind slowly picking up speed as she realizes why she feels jealousy. She’d kind of have to come to grips with what she really feels and how she’s not ready for this at this point in her life like she can just shut off her ability to be attracted to people until she’s in a more stable place. It’s a lack of control that she has never wanted. She thought she would be able to pick when to become attracted to someone and now she’s being proven so wrong.
She wants to be happy, Price can finally have some kind of company and someone who will laugh at his jokes and not see him as just an asshole. She doesn’t want to be sad and jealous because in her own head no one deserves her as she is now and by choosing this other woman he would be dodging a bullet, like there’s no reason to be sad that he’s chosen someone else. I think she wouldn’t say anything and would kind of avoid Price for a bit because emotionally Julia has the maturity of a twelve year old and just removes herself from situations she cannot directly influence or control in some way, or also anything she could possibly impact negatively.
tl;dr: develop the understanding that she has 0 control over being romo or not; avoid her crush like he caught cooties from the other girl; continued self-doubt and wallflower tendencies not seen since her character development in the main-verse.]
