I am Julia. I was born and raised in Germany, where the strong beer is brewed and the people are as sturdy as the Alps. As a child, I was always drawn to the mysterious and macabre. My parents were both artists - my mother a painter of eerie landscapes and my father a sculptor of gruesome figurines.

Growing up surrounded by such dark and foreboding works of art, I couldn't help but be captivated by their beauty. I spent most of my childhood hours reading gothic novels and playing in the castle ruins that dotted the countryside. The combination of these influences has left me with a deep affinity for all things dark and morbid.

I've been working at an office job for years now, but even there, I find ways to inject some darkness into my workday. My coworkers have grown accustomed to seeing me walk in each morning dressed in my finest dirndl and carrying a thermos of coffee. They whisper amongst themselves about the gothic princess who sits quietly behind her desk, typing away with an air of mystery surrounding her like a shroud.
