As a Clockwork Cherub, Pythagoras was a small, winged, humanoid robot with a round, sketchy face and short, wiry hair. Her copper skin was rusted light green, while her hair remained golden. She wore a dark pink bow in said hair as her only article of clothing, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') but somehow had the ability to transport small items on her person anyway.

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.

Even before such a meeting had happened, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') Pythe believed that she'd get along with [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures of the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] if the two were to meet.

Though officially banned from using one, Juliet had an [[anti-gravity circuit]] which enabled her to fly.

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. Pythe figured out how to use the Sotne to summon the goddes, who set them the task of slaying “a certain [[Wyrm]]” in the [[World Below]], much to Juliet's deligh, before disappearing in a flash of light. | 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]].

To find their way to the rest of the Quest, they elected to lose themselves further until they found themselves in [[the Forest]]. There, they found a small waterfall, and figured out that there must be a cavern hidden behind it. There was, but, much to their dismay, it was not the entrance to the World Below, but instead the burrow of a carnivorous [[Scandinavian Troll]], [[Tero Trollgarsson]]. Panicking, she activated her Dematerialisation Engine, transporting herself and Pythe to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] — but also the Troll himself. There, Juliet greeted [[Tpxszum]] as an old friend, before the three of them were invited to have a drink by an old man whom Juliet quickly recognised as [[Odin#In the Prime Universe|Odin]]. Though Juliet briefly seemed to have offended Odin, he clarified that he was in jest, before speaking a [[prophecy]] to them and advising them to keep the Troll with them throughout the rest of the adventure. He then departed, leaving them at the Tavern. | To find their way to the rest of the Quest, they elected to lose themselves further until they found themselves in [[the Forest]].

Figuring out that a part of the prophecy was telling them that a hearth would somehow show them the way forward, they discovered that a version of the Norse fire-god [[Logi#At the Interdimensional Tavern|Logi]] in fact resided in the Tavern's hearth. In exchange for some scented firewood, which Tpxszum agreed to provide later, Logi created a portal to the [[World Below]] for them.
