You know, I never really realized that most of you know nothing about the characters of The TECH Project. Let’s talk a little bit about Juliet Martin.
Juliet is one of the more minor characters of The TECH Project — unlike some of her friends, she only has two major issues: the fact that there’s an organization dedicated to killing her and her best friends, and her belief that she’s been turned into a blasphemy.
That’s my favorite aspect of her, actually. She’s very different from me in the way she treats her religious beliefs. They literally make up her life. Everything she does is based on her Lutheran pastor’s teachings. When her body mutates to give her superhuman abilities, Juliet is afraid that she is something horribly wrong.
Can you imagine what that might be like, to be changed into something you didn’t believe in? To be changed into something you see as a monster?
That’s something that I’ve never really seen portrayed before. I mean, yeah, sometimes superheroes are looked at in the way of, “Oh no, I hurt somebody, I’m horrible.” But what if your transformation was so deep that you couldn’t recognize yourself anymore?
Anyways. Juliet is great.
More about her: Juliet is a soccer coach for a second-grade soccer team. She’s amazing with kids, and she wants to be a grade school teacher. Her team – The Hornets – is usually top of the league because of Juliet’s ability to get the kids to work together.
Juliet is also a Sunday School teacher. Her group is the four and five-year-olds, which includes her youngest brother. (She has two brothers. The youngest one is the only one she happens to like.)
She lives with her family in south Toledo, about fifteen minutes away from where she goes to school.
Juliet’s best friend is Zoe Lee, of course. She’s also extremely close to her boyfriend, Gordy Johnson.
Not much else to say about Juliet. She’s very thoughtful and does a lot of self-reflection and meditation. So now you know a little bit about her; hopefully, you’ll like her in The TECH Project, too.
Is that a model for the book, or a stock photo? Good photography if it’s yours!
Religion is funny in books. It’s a rule, I think.
