Full Name: Julianne Morris Sippel
Nick Names: Julie
Student or Staff: Staff (Barn Hand)
Age: 22 years old
Ethnicity: American
Gender: Female
Physical Description: Julianne is pretty, with her light blue eyes and blond hair. While she is short, at only 5’6”, she is slim, with the long, toned legs of someone who has spent a lot of time in the gym. She makes sure to take care of her skin, and always wears sunscreen when she’s outside since she’s so fair.
Julianne is very conservative when it comes to clothes. She is predictably practical, preferring breeches and polo shirts to the frilly dresses her mother picked out when she was younger, much to her mother's dismay.
Personality: Julianne is a workaholic. She is a very independent individual, and likes to do things her own way. A self-confessed perfectionist, she holds not only herself, but also other people to a very high standard. As such, she can tend to work herself up into a state about the smallest things, and is always joking about giving herself a stomach ulcer.
Julianne is a very private person, and finds it hard to let people in. She has never been in a serious relationship, and only has one or two close friends. Julianne doesn’t go out much, and prefers to spend her time with horses, or wrapped up in a good book. In high school, her group of friends always teased her about needing to get a life, and so she’s always been self-conscious when talking to people in case she’s boring them.
Background: Julianne was born into a working-class family in Virginia. Her father was a construction worker, while her mother worked as a receptionist for a local real estate office. Julianne often spent a lot of time in after school programs during elementary school, and it was somewhere in between turning eight, and starting second grade, she discovered horses.
Because a horse wouldn’t fit into their small suburban backyard, her parents decided to get their horse crazy daughter some riding lessons for her tenth birthday. Money was always tight, and so Julianne did chores for people in the neighbourhood, everything from walking dogs to pulling weeds. She spent all her spare time down at the barn, working to pay off lessons when her parents couldn’t afford to. She was thirteen when she had finally saved up enough of her allowance, to buy her first horse.
Her parents thought it would be a phase she’d grow out of once she discovered boys, but unlike her friends, Julianne. She started competing in local shows, and over one summer break in her sophomore year, she took up a position as a working student. By senior year however, Julianne had decided to put her education first, since she had seen how hard it was to make a decent living in the industry without something to back it up.
Julianne graduated from high school with excellent grades, and she enrolled in a college halfway across the state, taking a course in small business. She went on to graduate with honours, and intended to open a boarding facility back in her home town. She was in between jobs, when she found an advertisement for a barn hand in the back pages of a Practical Horseman magazine. Thinking it would look good on her CV and could provide an opportunity to do some networking, Julianne went in for an interview, and a month later was packing up her bags and heading interstate to start a new job.
