Julia Chang Reads Her Fan Mail

Violet Systems Biochemical and Cell Research Laboratory near Phoenix, Arizona…

After the last King of Iron Fist Tournament the forester & archeologist, Julia Chang, had formed a partnership with Violet Systems in an attempt to fund her reforestation project in the desert regions of Northern Arizona. With enough ingredients, personnel, and funds, Julia directed and commenced the operation to plant all of the seeds for the project. Within weeks of the first phase of planting, lots of young trees were beginning to grow.

The first phase of the project will take another 5 years for completion, but so far progress is turning out smoothly for the young scientist. Julia is not sure if she will return to the King of Iron Fist Tournament again, but decided to sit down and reply back to her fans and admirers about her life. This special Q & A is brought you to by MartialArtsJunkie Magazine.

Julia Chang: "Umm…Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've talked with the media, even social media. But I will answer all of your questions without sounding too boring or sarcastic. Okay, so here we go."

Email #1

Question: "Will you fight in the next tournament?"

Julia: "There's really no incentive for me to return at this time. I've been too busy with the project and furthering my studies in bioengineering along with archaeology and instruction design. In my spare time I still train my body though."

Email #2

Question: "Are you friends with Jaycee at all?"

Julia: "I've met Jaycee, but personally I don't know her. We don't communicate often, so not sure if I would call her a friend, but she's a great athlete nonetheless."

Email #3

Question: "How is your mother doing these days?"

Julia: "My mother is doing well. She's still living at the cottage near the reservation in Apache County. She still works part time as a park ranger and a hunter. We talk very often. And yes, she still looks great for her age."

Email #4

Question: "How long is your reforestation project going to last?"

Julia: "I'm hoping for another 30 years in order for it to completely work. I expect some drawbacks because of funding and resources running out, but if I can green up a good chunk of Northern Arizona in 10 more years, then I will be satisfied with that. : )."

Email # 5

Question: "What made you get into fighting anyways?"

Julia: "I wasn't forced to fight or anything. My mother for as long as I can remember taught me martial arts. It came in handy as I got older because sometimes boys and girls too would be overly aggressive towards me for several reasons. My first appearance at the King of Iron Fist Tournament was after Heihachi took my mother hostage for our tribe's treasure. Afterwards I've been going back ever since because G Corporation found about my research and wanted me to work for them or die. So yeah, it's not like I want to fight all the time. I do what I have to because I love Mother Earth and I don't want to see her destroyed."

Email #6

Question: "Can you see without your glasses?"

Julia: "I have Hyperopia. So when I fight I don't really need glasses to see. Only when I have to read things up close. Sometimes I need contacts, especially after a nagging headache."

Email #7

Question: "Who do you consider to be your toughest competition at the tournaments?"

Julia: "They were all challenging to me. I guess King personally, because I could never beat him. The women, probably Christie and Ling Xiaoyu."

Email #8

Question: "Did you hear about the revival of Kazumi Mishima?"

Julia: "Mother told me about it. She said this could mean more destruction or it might be Mother Earth's answer to the wars that have been going on in recent years. I will keep a close watch on things that's for certain."

Email #9

Question: "What are your hobbies other that fighting?"

Julia: "I like to hike and climb cliffs. Of course I study a lot giving my profession. It's more of a need than a hobby now. What else? I like to cook. Oh, and I love zip lining!"

Email #10

Question: "Will you bestow the world your current measurements?"

Julia: "I prefer not to answer that."

Email #11

Question: "How long have you been working as an archeologist?"

Julia: "It's been 5 years now. It went by fast, but the job has had its highs and lows. It's been a thrill for me along with danger of course. : )."

Email #12

Question: "There are some newcomers in the next tournament. Have you seen them all and what are your thoughts about them?"

Julia: "Yes, I've caught some highlights of these guys on the internet. Claudio is really mysterious, I don't know what his deal might be joining the tournament. Just get a bad vibe from him. Lucky Chloe has a very unusual style of fighting, she fights similar to Christie and yet she seems so playful about it. It's fascinating! Josie Rizal I'm worried about because she has a lot of potential but still seems inexperienced out there and she seems bipolar at times. I wonder what made her do this tournament? And Katarina's intentions don't seem pure at all, but if she can get after the Mishimas then she may not be all bad to me."

Email #13

Question: "What is your relationship like with Lee Chaolan?"

Julia: "I will be forever grateful for Mr. Chaolan's generosity in helping with the reforestation efforts. My biggest gripe with him is his constant flirts with me. I keep telling him I'm not interested in him. He's way too old for me, plus he already has tons of girlfriends. I would simply be another number in his collection. Other than that, he keeps me employed under his company, so I can't complain too much."

Email #14

Question: "Are you currently in a relationship?"

Julia: "No I am not dating at this time. I've been too busy with work."

Email #15

Question: "Is it true you dated Bob Richards?"

Julia: "Yeah, 2 years ago actually. We dated while I was in Texas after a conference. The guy left the date to go after some robbery suspects. He's more interested in being a hero than just settling down with a girl. I kinda let him be after that."

Email #16

Question: "Are you good at other sports?"

Julia: "I'm pretty decent at archery and horseback riding, but I'm pretty bad at all the other sports though."

Email #17

Question: Can I take a tour of your forest once it's fully grown?"

Julia: "We're not quite ready yet for tourists to arrive once Phase 1 is through. Give us at least another year for further testing and analysis. Then we can give visitors the okay to come see the forest."

Email #18

Question: "How can your trees survive in the desert?"

Julia: "To make a long answer short, it's the use of Genocell. It would take a while to explain so check out our website for more details."

Email #19

Question: "Why won't you take Ganryu as your husband? He always talks about you in his interviews?"

Julia: "I can't do it. He's another creeper like Lee. Plus he tried to get after my mom a lot too. I think she feels the same way I do about him."

Email #20

Question: "Are you a good singer?"

Julia: "No I'm terrible actually. My mother is great at it though."

Email #21

Question: "Is it true that you trained with the great Wang Jinrei?"

Julia: "Yeah I did as a teenager. He's so strict! My goodness! One time he had me do stationary squats while holding two buckets of water for 1 hour. My legs were done afterwards, and all because I messed up on a move he taught me. Longest summer of my life!"

Email #22

Question: "Can you mail me your panties?"

Julia: "You're getting blocked creeper!"

Email #23

Question: "What is your least favorite animal?"

Julia: "Probably termites, only because they destroy trees. There is a bug company joint venturing with Violet Systems that comes around the forest every two weeks to spray repellents on the trees."

Email #24

Question: "What is a normal day of training like for you?"

Julia: "My training regimen. On a typical week I go about four days now. Used to be 5 before the tournament. After work or early in the morning before work, I run about 2-3 miles. It might be at home or at the wildlife parks outside the city. Hate the public ones, too many eyes. Then it's working on my core for 20 minutes, meaning abs and back. Stretching for 15 minutes. Then some Tai Chi for 30 minutes before hitting the bag for another 30 minutes. Other days I work strictly on certain combos and acrobatics. Sometimes I go marathon running or even climbing the mountains, to mix things up. If my mother comes in town, King, Armor King, Tiger or Christie then it's sparring. But that's like on weekends most of the time."

Email #25

Question: "If you're not planning to enter the tournament, which fighter would you like to see win?"

Julia: "I'm hoping Lars, because he's the brother of Lee Chaolan and he's not this power driven glory seeking individual that would cause harm to the planet unlike his father and his other offspring. Of course I'll be rooting for King too."

Email #26

Question: "What type of cars do you drive?"

Julia: "I'm more of a Jeep girl. Especially the Rubicon. I'm an archeologist and I have to tread into dirty territory to do my job. Never into the Cadillacs like Tiger is, or the Escalades like Lili, or big limos like the Mishimas. Gimme my jeep and I'm good!"

Email #27

Question: "Do you eat ass?"

Julia: "Gross."

Email #28

Question: "What is your opinion on the relationship between Jin Kazama and Ling Xiaoyu?"

Julia: "They're in a relationship? Hmm…guess I must be clueless because I never knew she was interested in Jin. I mean his actions caused a global war to take place. Thank the spirits it was short lived."

Email #29

Question: "Do you make a lot of money fighting in the tournaments?"

Julia: "You don't win prize money unless you finish in the top 5. Of course the winner gets to own the Zaibatsu. No one has yet to best a Mishima."

Email #30

Question: "Your hair so amazing! How many years did it take to grow?"

Julia: "Why thank you! It only took 3 years for it to grow in its current length. My hair grows fast."

Email #31

Question: "Just how big is your reservation?"

Julia: "Where I live it covers an area over 2,000 square miles. Natives and non Natives living there is about 10,000 of us. It's spacious because we live near state parks as well."

Email #32

Question: "Do you see yourself becoming a model?"

Julia: "I don't think I'm model material. Plus I like my lifestyle the way it is."

Email #33

Question: "Why no nudes pics?"

Julia: "Ugh. Next."

Email #34

Question: "How did you escape G Corporation? Rumor has it you nearly died while trying to restore your project files."

Julia: "I was lucky to encounter Lars while he was sabotaging G Corporation in order to finds leads on Kazuya. Dr. Abel took my data after I fought in the fifth tournament and held me prisoner since I refused to help him. Anyway, Lars and the android Alisa busted me out of jail, fighting through the security before their base exploded. For that, I am truly grateful to meet Lars."

Email #35

Question: "Which park is your favorite one to visit?"

Julia: "Spider Rock at Chelly Canyon. It's close to my house, and it's always a thrill to view each time. Did you know that's where Phase 1 of my project is going to take place? I can wait until that area becomes a forest!"

Email #36

Question: "You're really smart! Could you help me with a math problem if I email you again?"

Julia: "Well…okay. But only one for 1 problem and I'll even give you the formula to solve it. Just email me again."

Email #37

Question: "Julia Chang! Vanilla or Chocolate! Favorite flavor?"

Julia: "That's random. I like Kit Kats…soooo Chocolate I guess."

Email #38

Question: "Did you hear about the wedding of Nina Williams?"

Julia: "No I had no clue. She doesn't seem like the marriage type. When is it?"

Email #39

Question: "Have you broken any bones in your body while fighting?"

Julia: "No thank the spirits. But I did crack Armor King's ribcage with an elbow strike once. Didn't phase him though." (Yawns.) "Man I getting tired. Think I will take a nice nap before do research again. Thank you guys for emails so far. I'll be sure to answer more in the near future! So long!"
