Julia Luricheva

Julia Lyuricheva (Юлия Люричева) is one of the few residents of the city who can be called a rationalist and a skeptic. She considers herself a fatalist.

According to Artemiy, Julia is the ideologist of Humility. It was she who came up with all that is performed by the Saburovs. She is stated to have come to the town when the city rebuilt as a logistician or engineer, and then chose to stay.

By Julia's nature as an observer, she prefers to listen rather than talk. She drew attention to the hidden connections between events and formulated a theory about the effect of fate, which is called the Theory of Stretch Destiny. Perhaps, Julia decided to stay in town because cause-effect relationships are particularly evident there.

While her theory has not been proven, Julia often manage to anticipate events and to see the hidden motives of people. She emphasizes that she does so not through intuition, but with her mind. In order to verify the truth of her theory, Julia is willing to do much; for example, to catch sand eels in order to check the old stock of drugs, or admit to a crime she did not commit. In the Changeling she sees an opportunity to prove her theory: she is convinced that she can predict her every move, and swears she will not lose this opportunity. But later Julia admits that Klara may be destined to refute her theory.
