Occupation;
Fertility Doctor
Talents/Anything Interesting?;
Juliet is well skilled in genetics, and fertility. She successfully impregnated a male field mouse before coming to the island. She also has a way of being quiet, stone cold, and slightly frightening if the need arises.
The way she kicked Kate's ass in the pool room at Otherville, we can only assume she knows how to fight quite well. Also, she seems to be a very bad baker.

Short Personality description;
Prior to coming to the Island, we see Juliet as quiet, reserved, and somewhat introverted. She isn't the type to stand up for herself or speak out.
However after three years living on the island with Ben, lack of anyone she cared about (except a married man), all the dying women who she felt helpless to help, and not knowing the fate of her sister, Juliet hardened.
She became a sort of concrete angel, pushing her surface emotions away.
On a good day, she has a sort of dry humor, and a generally optimistic outlook. On a bad say she has no humor, is deeply depressed, and is neither pesismistic or optimistic, she seems to be void of all emotion.
Any Interesting History?;
Juliet's sister Rachel had leukemia, and as such was unable to have a baby despite her desperation to do so. So she began researching, and experimenting, until she successfully impregnated a field mouse, whose body was akin to that of her sister's radiated body.
Before she could be sure that it had worked, she was recruited to work for Mitelos bio science, and had to leave her sister behind. It was very hard for her to do, as their bond was so tight. She told her sister she would only be gone six months, and be back in time for the birth. Juliet has been on the island 3 years.
Juliet had an affair with Goodwin Stanhope while on the island, a fact that she has lingering conviction over. Goodwin's wife, Harper, was the psychologist on the Island and frequently visited Juliet.
Benjamin Linus had developed an obsession over the blonde woman, and had purposefully sent Goodwin into a dangerous situation hoping he would be disposed of, and he was. He felt this would clear all blockades between him and Juliet.
However this event cause Juliet to close herself of, and loathe the man even more. He had kept her here as a prisoner, and killed the one person she cared for.
Not too long later Jack was taken prisoner by Ben, in order to get him to perform surgery on his spine. Juliet was tasked to gain his trust, and coerce him into doing it.
Juliet grew attached to Jack, getting to know him and see what a great man he had the potential to be. Also seeing his anger for Ben, she sent him secret messages, asking him to kill Ben.
During the surgery, Juliet denied having asked such a thing, and Jack nicked Ben's nerve sack. Jack demanded his friends be let go or else Ben would die, and Juliet volunteered to go and stop Danny from Killing Kate and Sawyer.
She ended up killing Danny and releasing the two prisoners. Jack patched up Ben, and Juliet returned, marked for punishment for her murder of Danny. Jack protested, and recanted his claims that she asked when he feared she might be executed, and instead Juliet was branded.
She had been allowed to leave along with Jack on the sub, however, Locke blew the sub up, and she was forced to stay. She bonded further with Jack over this point.
Eventually the Others decided to move camps leaving Juliet behind to try and get information on the female survivors who might be pregnant. She returned to their camp under Jack's protection, and was an outcast among the survivors.
She came clean about the Others' plot and helped devise a plan to thwart them. On the way to the radio tower, she decided to go back and help the three (sayid jin bernard) left behind. It was largely due to her guilt. She shared a kiss with Jack and returned to the Beach along with Sawyer.
At the beach, she assisted in detaining the hostile Others who had once been her family. She traveled with the beach occupants to the jungle where Jack and Locke had a conflict over the freighter people. Juliet opted to stay with Jack with whom she had growing adoration and feelings towards.
Later Harper began appearing to her, and she followed her along with Jack to the Orchid, a mysterious station where two of the freighter folks were. It was there that she told Jack he had to leave her. That when Ben found out how she felt about him, he would try to kill Jack.
Jack, unphased, kissed and consoled Juliet. The two returned to the beach, and soon after Jack left on a helicopter for the freighter. While she was waiting, Juliet watched an explosion where he was meant to be. She was left on the Island, alone once again.

Anything else we should know?;
Juliet is pwnsome.
Four Sample Paragraph AS that character;;
(doing this from scratch, wee!))
Sapphire blue eyes were glued to the charts in front of her. This could not be, it didn't make any sense! Puffing out her cheeks, and slowly releasing the air, whilst simultaneously running her fingers through blonde bangs, Juliet set the papers down. Her hand stayed, letting her forehead rest in her palm, this was getting to be too much.
It had been two years, and she still had not found a way to even begin to understand this problem. What was so special about this place, that it caused something so solid and concrete as biology, to be turned on its nose? How could a place, a place! Alter our natural functions? Nothing was more sickening than the thought of all this. A host rejected its fetus, killing not only the baby but the mother, but at the same time, the unnatural workings of this island also caused the sperm count in all tested males to be more than five times the norm. Built to fall.
Was this some sort of social experimentation? A way to see if the lack of sex is a society would better it, or worsen it? How was it that something so beautiful and natural as bearing a child, could become so complex. She wanted to cry. She wanted to break down, and feel the true impact of all that she had witnessed, but she couldn't. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't feel. Maybe she had shut off her emotions, how else did someone do this job? To see women, see her friends, light up with joy at the idea of a child, only to have it and their lives ripped away from them while she stood idly by. Her crystalline blue eyes stared hollowly out into space.
One might have thought her void of any life, but it was there. Deep down, Juliet still had a soul.
A knock sounded at the door, and Juliet jerked. She didn't realize just how much she had spaced out in her thoughts.
"One moment." she called out, straightening her arrayed papers, and setting them in a plain manila folder. Carrying it with her, and laying it on the counter as she passed, she opened the door. A wary smile appeared at the sight of her visitor.
"Hey you," she greeted, moving to let him in. She closed the door and locked it, following him to a couch. He was studying her, and she could tell he knew something was wrong. "Can I get you some lemonade?" She offered, walking towards her small kitchen.
"No, I'm fine, thanks." He replied, clasping his hands as he watched her pour herself a glass.
Juliet carried a glass of lemonade, sipping at it tentatively as she took a seat in a chair adjacent him, tucking her feet up underneath her. She watched him silently, waiting on the reason for his visit.
"Harper's been sent to the Flame again. She's working with Mikhail..." Goodwin nodded slowly, waitng to for her reaction.
"Oh?" Juliet asked nonchalantly, arching a single eyebrow, and nodding back. It was unnecessarily awkward. She still hadn't figured out why they played these games. Reaching out and setting down her glass, Juliet stood and walked to him. Sitting down against him, nuzzling into that place she fit perfectly up against his chest. Her fingers mindlessly etched the pattern on his plaid shirt, when she finally spoke.
"I think she knows." Her eyes flicked up to his, questioningly.
"What? Harper? No, she doesn't know." Goodwin shook his head, seeing her look and pausing to think about it, then returning to his first conclusion. "No."
"Are you sure? She was asking questions, Goodwin. About you, and where you've been." Juliet pushed herself upright, looking him in the eye. "Goodwin...if she finds out....we," her words halted as his hand took her chin gently.
"She's not going to find out." He said reassuringly, leaning in and brushing her lips with his own. "I promise."
Juliet stll was not convinced, but it was difficult to protest when he kissed her like that. Shrugging off the cares, she let an easy grin break her hard exterior. "I'm holding you to that," she whispered, before wrapping an arm around his neck, and returning the kiss.
