Like [[Pythagoras-858]], Juliet-178 was possessed of more practicality and common sense than the average [[Clockwork Cherub]]. Also like him, she was very curious, to the point of sometimes getting delayed in the business at hand by trying to observe ancillary details. She was more adventures (some might say reckless) than Pythe, however, getting along well with [[Arganthone-056]]. For example, despite her dislike of [[Wellsian]]s, she relished a plan that required her and Arganthone to travel to their planet to try and steal one of their weapons. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') [[Recorder Cupid (The Case Against Conspiracy)|One Recorder Cupid]] openly wrote in an unrelated Incident Report that Juliet-178 was a prime “cause for concern” in the Homeworld, although she was surpassed by the [[Triangular Society]] in this regard.

===2020 Christmas crisis=== | |||
After [[Pythagoras-858]] found [[Madame Tarsa]] magically frozen in her [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa|Worshop]] in December 2020, he dispatched Juliet and [[Arganthone-056]] to the Workshop while he went off in the [[Multiverse]] to try and find the culprit(s). After they determined that Tarsa's sentient marionettes didn't know anything of value, Juliet got the idea to try and match the unnatural ice with unnatural ''heat'', and dragged Arganthone to [[Thrash|New Wellsia]] to try and get a [[Wellsian]] [[Heat Ray]]. | After [[Pythagoras-858]] found [[Madame Tarsa]] magically frozen in her [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa|Worshop]] in December 2020, he dispatched Juliet and [[Arganthone-056]] to the Workshop while he went off in the [[Multiverse]] to try and find the culprit(s).

Going back to the Toyland, they conferred briefly with the Toy, who gave them climbing gear, and eventually made their way to the top of the tree with the help of a toy nutcracker called [[the General]]. The trio opened the Star, uncovering the magical mallet it contained, only to discover that tampering with the Star awakened the very literal [[Snap-Dragon]] that lived at the bottom of [[Snapdragon Lake]]. Nevertheless, the three soon defeated the creature through trickery and made their way out of the Toyland. The three agreed that Juliet, whose reputation back hom “needed the polish”, be the one to strike the ice, freeing Tarsa. After the appropriate thanks, the Cupids all returned to the Homeworld.

===The Winter Quest of 2021=== | |||
In December 2021, Juliet-178 was recruited by her friend [[Pythagoras-858]] to join him in a snowy [[Finland|Finnish]] forest in the [[Prime Universe]] where he had arranged to meet [[Sigyn|a Norse goddess]]. Pythe was to negotiate with her for the venom of the [[Wyrm of Loki]], to avoid any enemies of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] getting it instead, but anticipated that she might send the two of them on some kind of mythological quest ot prove their worth, for which contingency Juliet's talents would come handy. Soon enough, they found a clearing with a [[Rune Stone]] in its centre. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
