Julia Amanda Van Helden (née Cowan) is Tariq's ex-girlfriend and friend of Charlie in the KateModern series. She previously worked at an Orange Mobile Retail Shop but left the position to work at JustIncredible.TV.

Background

Julia is introduced when Gavin and Tariq go to her work to buy a Wifi Transmitter to replace the one Gavin broke. She was very confused as to why Tariq has a video camera, and found it very bizarre. Gavin attempted to flirt with her, but was reminded by Tariq that he was already in a relationship. Afterwards, she and Tariq went on several dates, and the relationship became fairly serious. Tariq praised Julia for being "different" and "relaxed", which he found refreshing after his last girlfriend's drama.

Julia was very understanding about Tariq's conflicting feelings towards Kate. She was there for him after he, once again, put himself on the line for Kate's sake, only to find that she didn't want his help in the first place. Julia then assisted Gavin and Tariq after their software was stolen by Lee, but ultimately fails after the software ends up in the hands of the Order. Julia and Tariq are seen only a few times during the following holiday season, usually celebrating and decorating. However, Julia leaves Tariq shortly before New Year's, unable to deal with the way he wouldn't let anything go.

Just Incredible

Julia sets up a bebo profile when she gets a job at JustIncredible.TV. She loved her job until her boss, Justin, made her presenter. To be on the show, called "Late Night Boob Cast" she had to wear a bikini, which understandably upset her. Along with Tariq and Lee she filmed the interview of Rupert. In Group Hug it was revealed that Justin promoted Julia to producer as an apology.

Julia and Tariq part ways...

Julia was not very happy when Gavin got the job that Tariq was really looking forward to getting. She was even more upset after learning that Tariq was leaving for India to clear his head. Julia, along with Charlie, Gavin, and Lee then left on a tour of University communities to promote JustIncredible.tv. She gets frustrated by Gavin and Lee's contant bickering, though they end up reconciling when Gavin saves Lee after he has an allergic reaction.

Once they return from the trip, Julia and Gavin begin to suspect that Justin is hiding something, and discover that his office is actually a restroom and contains several pictures of Julia in the bikini. No long after, Julia is promoted again to the position of programming director, which doesn't thrill her when the employees come to her after their pay-checks bounce. After Gavin discovers that Justin is running some sort of scam, a walk-out is staged, and Julia and the other employees go on strike. However, when they go back to the office to demand pay, they find Justin gone, and everyone besides Julia steals equipment as compensation.

Around this time, Julia reveals that she has become involved with someone, but refuses to reveal who it is, only that he is away a lot on business. She accompanies Charlie to Lauren's flat to try to convince her that she is in danger, but Lauren gets spooked after Steve and Terry show up also, and she attacks the group with a bat. Charlie becomes upset with Julia after she tries to distract her from protecting Lauren and go out partying. As Julia leaves, she runs into Lauren, and the two go back to Charlie's office and talk with her.

Wedding Bells

After Steve and Terry kidnap Lauren, Charlie goes to Julia's house in order to upload the video and get her help. Instead, Charlie walks in on Julia and Rupert in bed together and, feeling betrayed, leaves. Afterwards, Julia posts a video attempting to justify the relationship, explaining that she is falling in love with Rupert and has felt more comfortable with him than she has with anyone else.

Because their relationship is now known, Julia decides to help Rupert organize a lecture hes giving on The Day of the Eternal Song. Julia is surprised by how friendly the members of the Hymn of One are, but the experience turns sour when Steve arrives and accuses Rupert of being a pawn in a cult. Julia receives a present from Rupert and is told and is told not to look at it right away. She is unable to resist, and unwraps it, discovering a new book by Rupert entitled "I Have Found The One". Upon opening it, she finds an engagement ring, and Rupert enters the room and asks her to join him in an eternal unity bond (similar to a marriage). Julia is surprised by the speed at which the relationship is going, but eagerly accepts.

Julia and Rupert invite you to their eternal unity bond...

Julia has since posted an invitation for the wedding on her Bebo page with the date of May 17th, 2008. Almost a month later, she and Rupert recorded a video extending the invitation to anyone watching, including Gavin, Charlie, Meryl, and Lee. Strangely, Rupert does all the speaking in the video while Julia stands by silently.

Charlie posts a response video to Julia's invitation where she depicts Rupert as a demon and Julia as the damsel in distress whom Ninja Charlie saves at the alter. The real Julia, however, is appalled by the video, and is annoyed that Charlie posted a video online instead of talking to her. Despite her emotional distress, Julia re-extends the invitation to Charlie, and says that she will be really disappointed if she doesn't attend.

Charlie attends her hen night and apologizes profusely to Julia for posting the animation, and Julia quickly forgives her. While the others become wild, Charlie's drinking leads her to release the pent-up emotions she has over Steve rejection, leading Julia to have to comfort her in the restroom. Charlie bounces back once Gavin arrives, and ends the night making out with him, much to Julia's annoyance. Julia is surprised when a stripper arrives, but he doesn't stick around long as Alice pulls him away for herself. The night ends with Julia admitting in a confessional setting that she understands why her friends are worried about her, and Lauren puking in the background.

The next day, Julia is walked down the "circle" by her father, who expresses his concern over his daughter's decision. As the vows are being read, it is revealed that the cloaked man was not Rupert, but Steve, who had hijaked the wedding in Order to trash talk the Hymn of One and play up the Celestial Network. Livid, Julia smacks Steve and turns to her father for comfort, but tells her that he thinks that what she is getting involved with is strange too. Steve's rant is cut short by Rupert, who finally arrived after being hindered by Steve slashing his tires. Rupert comforts Julia, and scolds Steve for trying to ruin Julia's big day. Stunned, Steve is led away by Charlie, which upsets Gavin, resulting in him drinking the wine he had bought as a wedding present. In the meantime, Julia and Rupert become eternally bonded, but don't bask in it for long as Gavin begins throwing a drunk tantrum.

Covering It Up

Julia and Rupert go on their honeymoon directly after the wedding, and are not heard from apart from Julia posting a message thanking everyone apart from Steve and Gavin for attending her wedding. It is implied that Julia and Rupert may have returned early from the honeymoon, as Charlie seems genuinely surprised to see her. However, that surprise turns to shock as Julia is sporting a nasty bruise on her eye, and claims that a coconut fell on her. Her behavior suggests otherwise, and lead to the impression that Rupert might have hit her.

After speculation on this began running rampant, Julia posted a video expressing her annoyance with the situation. She reiterates that it was, in fact, a coconut, and she conveys her frustration that people don't believe her simply because they don't like Rupert and she didn't catch it on camera. She informs everyone that she will be away for a few days, and promises to bring back footage as proof.

Upon her return, Julia apologizes for being away during the Lauren crisis, but announces that she and Rupert are going to be traveling abroad. She points out that Rupert has gotten a stable job, and stability is what she needs. She wishes everyone farewell and the best of luck.
