Profile: Julia
She is a phantasm that continues to inhabit Spike's past - a clutch of memories never to be forgotten. When she appears before him, the world he had believed to be reality begins to shift towards the illusory.
The illusion named Julia - her of unclear providence, unknown age.

HER TEARS, HER SMILE, her perfume never had he considered the possibility of their loss - all slip away into the recesses of memory. All he remembers for certain is her name, and nothing more; even that may prove to be just a figment, another phantasm. But for the moment he can not be sure.

A WOMAN, who disappeared on that rainy; a betrayal, by the friend he considered a brother in arms; and flight, away from the organization that had raised and nurtured him - by thus destroying his own past and her ghostly phantasm, he 'died' a first death and was reborn anew.

YET SPIKE SUBCONSCIOUSLY continued to seek this truth, which he had supposedly destroyed and had vanished beyond the limits of his memory. For it is this very phantasm that defines the reality he lost, is his anima and his sole embodiment of a woman. And once again, on another rainy afternoon, in that selfsame place, he will face his destiny.
