A/N My latest OC as I type this tells her story.
Hey, I'm Julie and, since I've just recently arrived on Sodor, I'm telling my new friends, perhaps, my story. I came here because my branch line was closed. Many engines liked me back there, because I'm a very gentle sort. I'm also quite optimistic and I like to compose songs, though I can be rather quiet around others, except when I'm with those I trust. My controller told me he was selling me to the Skarloey Railway when I told him how I'd heard about them needing an engine.
Some of these engines seem they could be very nice, friendly engines, but others I'm not fully sure of. There's one whose name's Charity and she seems very sensitive. The other engines tell me she's only like this at times, having severe crying spells most of the time. I had to shunt her to the water column this morning because she was bawling her eyes and couldn't stop until she had no more tears left to shed. There's also Adam, who's curious and very quiet. Joshua's rather bossy, I believe. Sir Handel's a wise old engine, but his friend Peter Sam says he can be stubborn, though he cares deeply for his friends. Peter Sam's someone I think I could make friends with. He's kind of down right now, because the narrow-gauge engines are in grief because of the engine I'm replacing, but he told me he's usually enthusiastic, hard-working, friendly and at times, cheeky. There's an engine whose name's Luke, who's a possible friend as well. He's gentle and sensitive like me and he's enthusiastic like Peter Sam, but in a quieter way. Duncan sings, but he can be rude and uses strong language. His friends tell me he's got a heart, though, underneath it all and can be kind to those he cares about.
Sodor's a good place, as my potential friends say I shall be scrapped only if I'm not a Really Useful Engine. I had to go to the Steamworks on arrival, just to be inspected. I like knowing I can go there, if I get ill or have an accident and am hurt, but I hope I don't need to go there too often. I've had boiler-ache many times and I've had bad coal some. I've had my injector and other parts fail and I've even had an overhaul because I'm getting old. However, I'm still the same little engine inside. I like to be real. If I feel good, I smile and maybe even weep with joy, if I'm happy as can be. If I'm very sad, I cry. The first time I cried, my driver then said, "Julie, I've got a cloth to dry your tears so you won't rust.", when I asked him about the water droplets streaming from my eyes. He deeply cared about me, offering his support and comfort whenever I needed it. Whenever I'm overwhelmed with emotion, I just open the floodgates and let it out. My whole life, I've had lots of creative ideas. Sometimes, I daydream when waiting for my train to be loaded at the station. Because of deeply feeling myself, I'm not scared of anyone's emotion. Instead, I use my emotions to understand others, if I can. My potential friends here are those I can understand. That's my story now.
A/N She's named after one of my cousins, but her personality's all my idea. I was sort of thinking about my old cousin when I created her.
