Tell us about your character.

Tell us your name and a little bit about yourself
My name is Julie Wagner. I’m a 25 year-old Vietnamese-American, and I work for a non-profit organization who helps women who are faced with unplanned pregnancies.
Where do you live, and why do you choose to live there?
I live in Pine Springs, a small town outside Philadelphia. I love living there. It’s such a wholesome community. I have a wonderful church and an amazing group of friends.
What is a quirk of your personality that people don't know?
People who are close to me know it! I am a physical person. I love hugging my friends!
Who chronicled your story, and why do you think he/she picked you?
Karen Malley wrote my story. I’m not sure why she picked me. I’m just an ordinary girl, after all. Well, I was until my twin sister disappeared, anyway. Then life got interesting. I turned into quite the detective! The story of trying to find my sister had lots of twists and turns, with some romance thrown in. I’ll tell you about that a little later.
What obstacles did you overcome in order to reach your happily-ever-after?
My happily-ever-after had two different parts. One was finding my sister again. The biggest obstacle to that was the person responsible for her disappearance. Mr. Vincenzo. Uggh. He still makes me nervous when I think about him. Fortunately, we’ve come to an understanding now, so I don’t think I need to worry about him anymore. The biggest obstacle to my happily-ever-after with Matt was my sister Jade. I didn’t want to get in the way of their relationship.
Tell us about your special romantic interest. What makes them so special?
I could talk about Matt all day. He is the sweetest, kindest guy I’ve ever met. He’s so caring. He’s a social services manager, so he helps people for his job all the time. He’s also so good with his family. His little sisters adore him. Of, course, so do I!

The first time you saw your special person, what did you think? Was it love at first sight or did they have to grow on you?
The first time I saw Matt, he hugged me! I know, I said I’m a hugger, but not with strangers. He mistook me for my sister. It happens all the time. Not the hugging, but the mistaking us for one another. I felt a spark as soon as I was in his arms. I never thought he’d feel the same way about me.
