Julia is a supporting character/antagonist in I Became a Dog.

Appearance
Julia is a dog with very long, thick unkempt brown fur, so dark it looks almost black. She has small floppy ears and a short fluffy tail. Her eyes are normally covered by fur, but when she walks you can catch glimpses of bright orange eyes underneath. She is old enough to be a mother.

Personality
She’s very quiet and has nothing much to say after being freed. She is very caring towards her puppy, and devastated when she finds it dead. She can be aggressive when she needs to be and has the capacity to be greedy, to the point of being evil like Tomy.

I Became a Dog
Before the events of the story, Julia had a puppy that Tomy killed by ratting it like a dog toy. Julia saw the teeth marks in her puppy, and Tomy’s fur at the scene of the incident, before Tomy hid the body in the flower pot. Julia started attacking Tomy, and the player, as a human who didn’t know about her puppy, locked Julia away in the basement. She can be found there whispering through the walls to the player until he learns the truth. He helps Julia escape and they fight together to capture Tomy and put her in jail instead. Julia thanks the player by giving him 500 bugs, and then sits silently in Tomy’s old cushion.

In the third ending, one where the player stays a dog, Julia begins following the player and hinting that she’s going to kill him. Tomy says that the dog food has affected Julia and that she has become even greedier than Tomy was. This leads to the player locking her up in the basement again. This is not the true ending though, and doesn’t happen in the fifth ending where where the player also stays a dog, so this may be dismissed as an alternate universe and not representing of her true character. But perhaps her growing greediness simply isn’t shown in the fifth ending, and it would only take a little bit longer for Julia to become greedy.
