Hi! My name's Julia. I love anything and everything that has a good story to tell. Things I find interesting are often a little macabre, or mystical, or just plain strange, but I love cute and beautiful things just as much, as well as humorous things. I love books, films, comics (especially Marvel) and video games (Dragon Age, the Yawhg, Mass Effect and Life is Strange are my favourites). My favourite colours are black and red, but I love any colours so long as they're coordinated. I'm a 19 year old from Yorkshire, England. I live nearby the moor and love to go walking alone up there. I took the sciences and art at school and can never understand why people are surprised when I tell them that, because I love them both. I'm currently on a gap year before university, working and saving what money I can in preparation for going later this year.

-Anything which tells a story

-Shells or interesting rocks (I have a collection)

-Cats, hares, foxes, owls, birds of prey, wolves, dragons, horses. In fact, I'd probably instantly love anything bird or cat related

-Anything Dragon Age or Mass Effect

-I'm really into anything mystical, so symbols or charms are great

-Postcards or artsy cards of any kind

-Necklaces or earrings, but not bracelets please!

-Scarves!

-I have a weird obsession with key and feather related jewellery

-Anything with an aesthricism kind of style (the fashion and art movement)

-Did I mention dragons? Or any mythical creature really. Especially if I haven't heard of it before!

-Anatomical things, like accurate model hearts
