The Evil Within
Chapter 1
Juli, along with Sebastian and Joseph, was sent to Beacon Mental Hospital to investigate a crime scene there only to find that the police cars that had arrived prior to be deserted.
Kidman is then seen in the back of the ambulance with Doctor Jimenez and Leslie that is being driven by Officer Connelly. After the crash, she and the rest of the crew are nowhere to be found.
Chapter 5
In Chapter 5, Sebastian and Joseph run into Kidman again; however, she is in a water trap. The water is slowly rising, and Joseph and Sebastian fight off four hordes of the Haunted. She is eventually saved, but the ground beneath her breaks, causing both her and Joseph to fall through the floor. The two are soon saved from more of the Haunted by Sebastian. As she helps open a gate with the assistance of Sebastian and Joseph, they walk through a stream of blood, but each of the detectives are pulled through the ground by Laura.
Chapter 6
Kidman is later spotted with Leslie by Joseph while he is scouting on top of a tombstone. They are seen heading towards a church.
Once Sebastian and Joseph reach the church, she can be heard talking to Leslie under the partially moved altar.
Chapter 11
Kidman is spotted by Sebastian, being chased by Haunted, eventually blocking herself onto a balcony. He yells for her to hold up as he makes his way through the water and saves her once again. After the two travel for a short distance, Sebastian begins to transform into a Haunted. He charges at Kidman while she's pointing a gun at him, the screen goes black and you hear a gun shot. He wakes up to see she locked him in the room and ran off. Sebastian, after that assumes that she shot him.
Chapter 12
Kidman quickly runs from the Heresy and enters the bus that Sebastian and Joseph are on. She takes control and drives the bus, attempting to escape from the monster. After escaping the Heresy, Kidman, Sebastian, and Joseph hold off a horde of enemies. After getting away from the Haunted, the Heresy once again latches itself to the bus. After the Heresy is killed, Joseph is shot in the side. Kidman tells Sebastian that he needs first aid and offers to go check a nearby ambulance. Sebastian refuses and tells her that he will. After healing Joseph, Kidman begins to drive again, but the bus is lifted by Ruvik. He sends the bus through a building knocking Joseph and Sebastian off. She is still on the bus as it stops halfway out of an enormous building. Joseph and Sebastian wake up as the bus falls.
Chapter 13
Kidman is later seen with Leslie, comforting and telling him that she will protect him. As he walks away, Leslie causes everything to stop. She then raises a gun to his head and apologizes. Sebastian quickly intervenes, telling her to put the gun down. She tries to reason with him, telling him it has to be done. Joseph then attempts to approach Leslie.
Leslie screams and runs. Kidman attempts to shoot Leslie but instead shoots Joseph. The ground then collapses, separating the entire group.
Chapter 15
After Sebastian meets up with Leslie again, Kidman approaches him. She says that her and Sebastian have similar goals in mind. Ruvik then appears and melts Leslie and absorbs him into his conciseness, becoming Amalgam.
After it is beaten Sebastian awakes to see Kidman, who signals him to lay low. She tells the Mobius works to leave him in the tub along with Dr. Jimenez and Oscar. He then falls asleep.
The Assignment
Chapter 1: An Oath
After the ambulance crashes in chapter 1 of The Evil Within, Juli wakes up in the crashed ambulance alone, she manages to crawl out and she sees an illusion of the Administrator standing in the woods. He disappears and she manages to get to her feet. She then decides to go look for Sebastian and Joseph. While doing so, she is attacked by a transformed Oscar, she tries to shoot him but she realizes that her gun is gone. So she heel kicks him through the under side of his lower jaw. It doesn't have any affect, so he ends up accidentally pushing Juli of a cliff and she loses consciousness. He sees this and walks off.
When she comes to, she walks a short distance before seeing a vision of Leslie. When she hears Marcelo call out his name, she is sent back into a memory of when she is being given an assignment by the Administrator. He tells her that it's her job to get Leslie from the Beacon Mental Hospital, due to his status as an asset to Mobius. Juli then goes with the Administrator to get an injection that will protect her from Ruvik while in the STEM.
During the way he explains what is going on without giving to much away. When she gets the shot it causes her to pass out. Before she does pass out, the Administrator says he will ask her multiple questions after he counts down from 10 to 1. During the count down you see the Mobius mark on his left hand, it begins to release what looks to be darkness. He then moves closer to her before reaching one. At this point she is already passed out.
When she comes to, the room is dark and seems to be abandoned. She painfully pulls the needle of her arm and begins to try and stand straight but apparently has a major headache as shown by her body movements. While this going on there is someone standing not to far away from her staring at her until Juli finally is able to get moving. When Juli sees the figure, it immediately runs off. When given a closer look it appears the creature is Shade. However it is not obvious at first glance due to the fact she does not have her spotlight on.
Juli then walks to a double door that is held shut by a flashlight that is jammed between the two door handles. She takes the flashlight and proceeds to go through the doors into the next room. As she's traveling she throw different rooms, she eventually comes across a man who has locked himself inside an office. Juli says that she's going to help him. She then crawls through the vents to head into the office. When she is crawling you suddenly here high heels walking around, you hear the man scream and Shade attacks him saying "Your body". Shade heads out of the previously locked door muttering Leslie. She leaves into the next room. You exit through the office to see the dead corpse of the man. Juli is rather disgusted by this and she then heads through the same door as Shade.
She then goes through multiple rooms filled with Haunted and she eventually comes across a door that requires a keycard. So she goes and looks for it traveling through another vent to get into the room that has one. She grabs the keycard but sees that she can not go back through the vent because a locker fell and is now blocking it. A haunted begins to bust down the locked door and Juli hides in a large locker. When the haunted comes into the room Shade walks in and proceeds to eat him with her sideways mouth that's hidden under her sheet. She then shines her light through the locker air slits and says, "I see you," before a noise distracts her and she runs off towards it. Juli exits the locker and heads to the door to use her keycard. She proceeds into the Physical Plant Office.
She comes across a door that requires a hand scan. When she scans it, it says that Juli's status is terminated. Juli is confused by this and instead hacks into the computer. When she does Shade once again comes across Juli by dropping down from a ceiling vent. Juli hides and Shade uses her spotlight to make a door appear. She goes through it and then suddenly the door is gone. Juli then uses her light on it and the door appears again. She travels through only to come face to face with herself shouted for help in the water chamber. The location changes back to another hallway in the Plant Office.
As she's traveling she eventually sees Leslie through a window wandering around a lower floor. (However this might be an illusion due to the way Leslie walks. Instead of walking all jittery and shuffling, he walks like a normal person. This might be an illusion created by Ruvik to see if she really is looking for Leslie. However this is very similar to the scene at the end of the main game where Sebastian sees an illusion of Leslie walking past police cars. Just like here Leslie was walking normally.)
She continues to head through the facility. She gets another keycard to continue traveling. She eventually comes across Ruvik but as soon as she sees him he disappears. During this time she also sees memories of Dr. Jiménez, she sees his past and him work with Mobius. Particularly he is seen speaking the Administrator. After this she comes across a room where she has to shine her flashlight at multiple prints of the STEM machine. After she does Shade breaks open the door but does not go through. Instead she goes off to somewhere else.
Juli heads the doors and heads off. She ends up in a hall that has a window. She sees Sebastian and Joseph through it around the same area where she saw Leslie. She tries to scan her hand but once again it says that she's terminated, so Juli heads down to Biometrics to reinstitute herself in the system. She has to do three different tests before she can be able to pass through doors locked with hand scanners. Along the way she has to avoid dozens Cadaver.
When that's done, she heads back and is able to pass through the door. She sees Sebastian and Joseph head up the elevator, she can't follow them though because the elevator doors on the floor she was on are blocked by boxes. She then heads downstairs to go up the same way they did. She gets to the bottom floor part of the elevator, she scans her hand and waits for the doors to open but then the power goes out. An automated voice says that Juli will have to wait for the power to be restored. While it says that, Shade begin to make her way into the room by squeezing through a few pipes. Juli then has to keep running around and hiding from Shade while the power is slowly turned back on.
Finally when it is. The elevator picks up where it left off and opens the doors for her. Juli runs in and the doors shut, she quickly looks back and sees Shade through the clear glass elevator. Shade rams herself against the glass making it crack, but is not able to get to Juli because the elevator is immediately sent up. Juli is taken up to the floor that Joseph and Sebastian are on and she has to travel into a few more rooms before she sees them again on the other side of windows in a hallway.
Then she sees a room that is connected to the hall that she's been traveling through, Juli goes into the small glass room and starts banging on the glass, she continues to yell and bang but apparently the glass is to thick for either one to work because they continue to be oblivious to her presence. She begins to back up getting ready to leave the room, before suddenly Ruvik is standing right behind her. She turns around and backs up against the glass, obviously being startled and frighten by his sudden appearance. He begins to talk to her about how she's part of Mobius and that they see her as expendable as he was. As he says this the small room begins to fill up with water. He then throws his hand up and the location changes. The location is now the location that Sebastian and Joseph were in the first game. Juli falls out of the room which is now replaced with a water chamber, the same chamber she sees herself in earlier. It turns out this was the point in the game where (in the main game) Sebastian and Joseph released a captured Juli from a water chamber that she was going to drown in.
Joseph immediately is at Juli's side asking if she's ok. Then a symbol made of fire appears on the ground next to them, before the floor collapses and Juli and Joseph fall through.
Chapter 2: Crossing Paths
After Kidman and Joseph fall through the floor, she wakes to find that he's gone, and so she goes to look for him. She eventually sees him in the sewers shouting for her and Sebastian. She then has to lift the gate that shut after he went through, by collecting junction box fuses to place together.
During the time that she's collecting fuses, she has another run in with Shade. Juli crawls through a pipe and Shade suddenly runs up to it and looks at her, before running off. When Juli pops out of the pipe, she follows the direction that Shade went. She travels down the hall and steps over some concrete rubble before going back into the sewage water. When she does, the water begins to boil. Then the floor caves in and she falls to the floor below her. It turns out that the concrete rubble has landed on her legs preventing her from getting up. She tries to move it but won't budge. Shade takes this opportunity and begins to turn corpses into haunted and cadavers. Juli sees a gun and manages to grab it. She begins shoot all the enemies that come near. When they're all down Shade approaches Juli and Juli shoots her spotlight. Shade releases a scream and runs off. Juli runs out of ammo but still puts the gun in her gun holster for future use. Juli is finally able to lift the rubble up enough for her to be able to pull out. She gets back to her feet and continues searching.
After collecting all three fuses and seeing Ruvik again for a brief moment. She puts them together and passes through the now open gate, continuing to try an track down Joseph.
She eventually falls down a large hole in the floor and immediately turns around to see Joseph in front of another closed gate. He aims a gun at her until he realizes that it's her. He quickly puts his gun away and approaches her as she moves to him. They both are happy one another are safe, Joseph asks if they should go find Sebastian, but Juli says they should worry about him later. After that Kidman asks if they can open the gate. Joseph replies by saying that the two them wouldn't be strong enough to open it. They then hear the growls of a haunted(s). Joseph pulls his gun out and began heading towards their direction. Kidman tells him to be careful. He replies, saying that he'll be fine and that she is to stay there and find another exit.
She then goes through a door that she made appear with her flashlight. As she heads in and goes up a spiral staircase. She hears shouting coming from downstairs on her way up. She ignores this and heads through an open doorway only to have another run in with the administrator. (First time meeting the fake one) He tells her to kill Joseph because he will turn on her but she denies saying he doesn't suspect a thing. While this going on you can hear Sebastian and Joseph shouting for Kidman to help them.
Suddenly Kidman is brought to her previous location, the room with the closed gate, where she is back with Joseph and Sebastian who just finished off the haunted. Joseph then tells Sebastian that they might be able to lift up the gate far enough for Kidman to go under and open the nearby door, which they end up doing. They begin walking through the hall all together before Ruvik starts sending wave attacks that don't affect her but give both Joseph and Sebastian headaches. Sebastian proceeds to run off, screaming while clutching his head. Before Kidman can stop him Joseph grabs her shoulder and turns her around. She horrified to see that he's been turned into a haunted. He grabs her throat and begins choking her. He proceeds to say, "I know who you are." "I won't let you take him." ('him' most likely referring to Leslie.) "You should've followed your orders Kid."
She then kicks Joseph causing the location to change once again, this time to an operation room. She looks down to see that her gun is gone, only to find that Joseph has it. He unloads the clip ands drops the gun to the ground before charging at her. He's stopped by a bright light that shines from above them both and Kidman takes this opportunity to hide from Joseph. She turns to see a dead haunted with an axe in its head. She pulls it out and then uses it to sneak attack Joseph.
There is a segment during this where she has to sneak around and pick up axes to sneak attack Joseph. During this Joseph often says while looking for her "You couldn't have gone far..." She has to attack him three times before he turns back into an ordinary person. He then drops to the ground (possibly dead or unconscious). She then is shown to be upset about having to hurt him and says he should've just stayed out of the way.
After this she wakes up in a decrepit wooden home. She begins looking though the home before she approachs a room that you hear a rocking chair and see a shadow of a woman. However when you get to close the room, you see the shadow point forward before disappearing. When you go into the room, Juli starts talking about her childhood. She then proceeds to head outside.
She sees that she's in town square of the village. Juli head into the center only to see Leslie run through a arching doorway. She tries to stop him but is stopped by the sudden appearance of a locked door blocking her way. The only way she's able to get through is if she moves spotlights that are sitting on pedestals. She faces them all to the middle area. She also has to collect one to put on a pedestal. When has them all face to the middle, Juli has to use her flashlight to be the last light, the combined light makes the weeping angel statue appear. Once it does, she's able to go through and follow Leslie.
She is now in the village graveyard which is in front of the church. Leslie manages to make it through and locks the bar gate behind him. Juli sees this and decides that she will have to lure the haunted away from the gate in order for her to pass through. She sees the nearby bell tower and realizes that it'll grab their attention if she rings it. So she sneaks her way to it.
When she reaches it, she rings the bell which causes all the haunted to be lured to the tower. Juli then makes her way to the gate, only to see Leslie standing on the other side. She tells Leslie that she'll help him, he believes her and opens the gate to let her through. She locks the gate behind them, and they begin to make their way to the church.
Along the way she comes across another gate that is locked. This time, she needs to collect three statues to unlock it. Each statue represents three different times in her lifetime. When she collects them, she heads through the gate with Leslie.
They head into the church and Leslie finally shouts, "He's here." Juli turns around only to see Ruvik who approaches the both of them. Juli pulls out her gun trying to protect Leslie. She becomes confused by the fact that Ruvik is happy that she's planning on taking Leslie out. It's not until he possess Leslie and makes Leslie repeats everything that he says, is when she realizes that Ruvik will ruin Mobius's plans by exiting through Leslie. Ruvik also lies to her and tells her that they can see what she's doing inside STEM.
Ruvik then makes Leslie choke her. She pushes him away and aims at Leslie's head. Leslie approaches her and she about ready to pull the trigger before black smoke suddenly fills up the room. Ruvik and Leslie have disappeared and The Administrator begins talking to her. He tells her that it doesn't matter if Ruvik comes out with him, it only matters that she does her job.
He finally appears into his physical form via all the smoke and he angrily sends Juli flying before she slams into a pillar. He begins to walk towards her and tells her that she can't escape. She proceeds to run from him through the passageways inside the church, she tells him leave her alone but he continues to chase her. You see that his shadows have large monster like hands that he eventually uses to try and grab her. Juli finally manages to get to an exit and she goes outside. She stops to see Beacon Mental Hospital in the distance, before it's lighthouse light shines at her and she can't see.
The DLC ends with The Administrator saying, "You will bring us back that boy."
The Consequence
Chapter 3: Illusions
Chapter 4: A Ghost is Born
Personality
Despite coming off cold and analytical, Kidman is a somewhat complicated character. Whilst in the position of a rookie her past with Mobius has given her more experience than her senior detectives and inside of STEM, though this makes her come across as overly self-entitled and "a cold fish" according to Sebastian, with his journals noting that she acted like a "scientist observing specimen in a Petri dish". Her orderly, by-the-book nature combats with Sebastian's tendency to ignore this for the sake of results, however, Kidman's defiance of her superiors at Mobius show that she has abandoned this slightly. Though Kidman evidently likes to have control over situations both The Assignment and The Consequence show she is equally caught off guard by the disturbing horrors of STEM despite her preparation for it.
In reality, however, Kidman does care for her partners for training her and taking her under their wing but her devotion and equal gratitude towards Mobius for giving Kidman a second chance at life causes a great conflict of interests. She dreads that either Sebastian or Joseph will learn about her true motivations or worse be forced to eliminate them if they did. Whilst she did attack Joseph, it was more in self-defence as he turned into a Haunted and would kill her but when she actually did shoot Joseph, it seemed like she was in fact aiming for Leslie and Joseph got in the way. Despite this, she blatantly goes against her superiors orders by keeping Sebastian alive though she was demanded to kill him if they got in the way of her mission. Eventually, Kidman goes against Mobius by lying that Sebastian is alive so he can escape and possibly get the truth about his daughter then later assisting him into going back into STEM to rescue Lily.
The differences between STEM also show the differences of Sebastian and Kidman. Whilst Sebastian saves via checking into an asylum due to his inner demons and questioning his own sanity, Kidman saves via a cat due to her much composed nature when compared to the detective. However the fact that Kidman can not fully equip a weapon until near the end of The Consequence is a vast difference to Sebastian. It's implied her lack of arms is due to not accepting her own insecurities regarding Mobius as a faceless organisation that treats her as a pawn. Only when she directly goes against Mobius to complete her own mission does she prove that she is stronger than the organisation lead her fo believe and is able to kill the Administrator (effectively killing her own demons).
Relationships
Sebastian Castellanos
| “ | There’s something about her that gets under my skin but I can’t quite put my finger on it. | „ |
| ~ Sebastian, writing about Kidman |
Sebastian’s relationship with Kidman is strained. He is shown in an earlier memory to want to train her, insisting on it despite Joseph's warnings. However later on, presumably as he grew to know her, his opinion on the matter changed. He resents having to train her, going as far as to label it "babysitting duty." In his journal he describes her as being aloof and standoffish, even going as far as calling her a cold fish. Kidman also took issue with the aggressive way Sebastian went about working his cases, much to Sebastian’s annoyance.
But despite this, he does however show worry and concern for her while surviving together, showing that Sebastian does care for Kidman. Not only that but it's seen multiple times in the two-parter DLC's, that when Kidman sees memories that involve Sebastian in it, she says that he shouldn't be involved and that him and Joseph don't have anything to do with this. This shows that Kidman cares for Sebastian and Joseph and she doesn't want them to get hurt.
There is a scene in both the main game and the Consequence where Sebastian meets up with her in the destroyed Krimson city. He saves her from multiple Haunted and they travel through other buildings together. They enter a room and Sebastian gets a "Ruvik Headache." Sebastian sees his reflection in the window and realizes he's turning into a haunted. He tries to warn her to stay away but lost control of himself. He quickly charges at Kidman. While he does, Kidman sees Ruvik behind him. Since she has a better grasp of the situation (thanks to her previous encounters with Haunted Joseph), she manages to shoot Ruvik causing him to disappear. With Ruvik's hold on Sebastian gone, he ends up passing out, Kidman sees that he's leaning unconscious on her with his head on her left shoulder. While in this state, he turns back into a normal person and Kidman lies him on the ground.
After this she leaves the room and locks the door behind her. Sebastian quickly wakes up and gets to his feet, he sees her on the other side of the door and he's angry because he thinks that she shot him. In an effort to keep him out of the way, she doesn't explain to him that she actually didn't shoot him, rather she says that she had no other choice and that she's going to leave him behind because Ruvik will use him to try and stop her. Later Kidman comes across the KCPD building and sees three memories. She learns about the tragic loss of Sebastian's daughter and his wife leaving him, which makes Kidman feel sorry for him and starts to show pity. After this when they meet again while she's about to shoot Leslie, she's unable to express this feeling while he is aiming a gun at her because she sees an illusion of The Administrator instead of him. She ends up makes their relationship even worse when she accidentally shoots Joseph.
They have another run-in later, when she's chasing Leslie. He tries to protect Leslie from her, he of course says he doesn't trust her since she shot both him and Joseph. She tries to explain that Leslie has to die in order for Ruvik not to get out. He however doesn't get a chance to understand before Ruvik arrives, Ruvik then turns Leslie into fluid and absorbs him into his consciousness.
Later at the end, when Kidman is brought back into the real world, she finds Sebastian still unconscious in the tub. She saves him from being captured by Mobius by saying that he's dead. She then tells him, that she owes him one and that she hopes he finds what he's looking for. (Myra and the truth)
Joseph Oda
| “ | Joseph, as usual, tells me that I’m being oversensitive. I think he’s got a crush on her, maybe... | „ |
| ~ Sebastian, writing about how Joseph thinks he's being oversensitive about Kidman |
In the Consequence, it shows that when Kidman was first being transferred to the KCPD, Joseph wasn't too thrilled that Sebastian wanted to train her. He was shown not to want to have to deal with her. However, it is shown that after that he grows more respect for her and possibly even develops a crush on her.
This interesting due to the fact that in the memory that Juli sees, Sebastian is shown to really want her to come with them. But in the main game, it's shown that Sebastian thinks that dealing with her is babysitting duty and he starts to suspect's that she's hiding something. While in the memory Joseph is seen not wanting to deal with her and bring her with them. To accepting her in the main game and calling Sebastian oversensitive for saying that he thinks she's hiding something.
So it seems like they both switched their previous opinions of her. Sebastian was going from giving her a chance, to becoming suspicious of her. And Joseph going from disliking the fact that Sebastian wants to take her with them, to respecting her and caring for her.
During the events of the games, it's shown in Chapter 5 of The Evil Within/ the ending of chapter one in The Assignment, when they find Kidman trapped in a chamber filling with water, Joseph like Sebastian is concerned about saving her from drowning. When the chamber opens and Kidman falls onto the floor, he's immediately there to help her, asking if she's alright, showing that he cares about her well-being.
There is a segment after this where Joseph becomes a haunted and Juli has to fight him. He's shown to be aggressive and angry in this form. She has to attack him three times before he turns back into an ordinary person. He then drops to the ground (possibly dead or unconscious). She then is shown to be upset about having to hurt him and says he should've just stayed out of the way.
After this Kidman is not seen physically interacting with Joseph until he and Sebastian find her leading Leslie through a park. (This scene is in both the Main Game and The Consequence.) She ends up accidentally shooting Joseph instead of Leslie when the earthquake happens; she doesn't stay behind to apologize for what she's done, but rather she immediately runs after Leslie.
So it's been shown that they have a rather complicated relationship. They both have shown that they don't want to hurt each other. (At least when they're right in their minds). But Kidman shows that stopping Ruvik from exiting STEM is her top priority. Though it can be assumed that Kidman was sorry for accidentally shooting Joseph and that she would never purposely do that.
Ruvik
| “ | Mobius... so they sent you to take the boy back. And you trust them? Don't kid yourself... | „ |
| ~ Ruvik talking to Kidman |
Her relationship with Ruvik has been shown to be a similar one to the one he shares with Sebastian, in the fact that he tries to connect with her in a way, tries to find something they have in common. In this case, it was that the both of them were working for Mobius. He shows her over the course of the two DLC's that Mobius sees her as expendable just like everyone else they do business with. And that they will easily eliminate people who go against them, Ruvik using himself as an example. This causes her to begin doubting Mobius' intentions for her, making her question her loyalty to them.
It is shown that she doesn't experience the dubbed "Ruvik headaches" nor does she ever become a haunted during the game like Sebastian and Joseph do. This is due to the infusion process the Administrator put her through. Ruvik seems to realize this in his encounters with Kidman and instead has to find a different way to deal with her. He says that Juli is as expendable as her "partners" and as he was himself. He then says "We'll see how loyal you are when you know the truth."
Ruvik writes two letters and rips them into pieces. You find each one in both DLC's. Ruvik's second letter is specifically written to Juli, mentioning that he left a mark on the Administrator when he went inside STEM, and that he's going to do the same to her.
The Administrator
The real one
| “ | Do you stand with Mobius? | „ |
| ~ The Administrator to Kidman |
Her relationship with the Administrator is rather interesting, he doesn't quite treat her as if she's below him. He actually has conversations with her instead of telling her what she needs to know and expecting her not to ask many questions. This is a rather different approach then how most secretive businesses go. It is unknown whether or not this was normal in Mobius or not but it does make it seem like that on some level he actually treats her like a friend. However this can actually be a trick to fool her into a false sense of security, that he treats more like a person because he wants her to think that he actually cares for her on some level and that she can trust Mobius. (His motives for the way he treats her are unknown. It's all speculation for right now.)
The one inside STEM
| “ | Run all you want, Kid. You can't escape. | „ |
| ~ The Administrator to Kidman |
The Administrator we see inside STEM in The Assignment and The Consequence is a representation of Juli's innermost fears, not the man himself. It's shown that this Administrator loves chasing her and threatening her. He takes delight in watching her scream and run. He also loves threatening her to do her to complete her mission and bring Leslie out or else. He's been shown to be very cruel and manipulative. Not only does he throw her around when she denies to do something, but he also loves getting into her head and keeping her in fear. At the end of the DLC, Juli manages to severely wound the Administrator and as he is on his knees, with an evil and sadistic grin, Kidman tells him that she is strong and shoots him in the head, killing the Administrator.
Leslie Withers
| “ | You'll protect me? | „ |
| ~ Leslie talking to Kidman |
It's shown that getting to Leslie is her main objective throughout the DLC's. She, at first, wants to get to him so that she can take him out of STEM because that's is what her orders were. She is shown to be very kind to him; she realizes how afraid he is and how much he needs comfort. She shows that she feels sympathy for Leslie, and she tries to comfort him.
However, she later learns that Ruvik will try to leave through Leslie if they bring Leslie back. She decides that Leslie will have to die, to prevent Ruvik from leaving. She is seen trying to shoot Leslie twice once at the church and once in the park. She knows that it's not Leslie's fault that he's Ruvik's target, so she apologizes to him and says it's not his fault.
So it's shown that she cares for Leslie but in the end, she has to make a painful decision. Though she never actually ends up killing Leslie, instead she fails, and Ruvik absorbs him into his consciousness.

Trivia
- It is heavily implied that Kidman's mission to protect Leslie was a ruse enforced on her by Mobius, as one of the flashbacks showed that the Administrator had no need for a host like Leslie; he even went as far as saying the entire STEM operation was an "abortion". This implied Kidman's mission was given to her merely to test her loyalty and to see if the new infusion process they put her through was working.
- Juli is voiced by Jennifer Carpenter, best known for her role as Debra Morgan on Showtime's Dexter.
- Juli's clothing appears on various posters throughout the city during Chapter 11. Juli herself can even be seen on a perfume advertisement.
- On her missing person poster, the picture of her appears to be taken while she was a kid judging by her face, even shorter hair, and clothes.
- In his journal Sebastian describes Kidman as "a cold fish." He also accuses her of having a sense of entitlement.
- Juli seems to be heavily influenced by Ada Wong's appearance in Resident Evil 4. Both are secret agents working for an unknown organization; both keep their motives a secret and they both sporadically help the protagonist to reach their own goals. Additionally, they both stop the main character from losing his free will (Sebastian turning into the Haunted, Leon turning into a Ganado). She also resembles Helena Harper, Leon's main partner in Resident Evil 6.
- Claire Redfield resembles Juli in her "Sniper" costume at the end of episode 4 of Resident Evil Revelations 2.
- There is a possible pun that Ruvik says in the scene where he talks to Juli while in the Water Chamber. He says, "Don't kid yourself." This is referring to the nickname that The Administrator often used for her. Which in itself is a shorten version her last name taking the "kid" out of Kidman. Whether or not this pun was intentionally is still unknown but what we can say is that it wouldn't be the first time Ruvik used a nickname for someone when addressing them. He also did this with Sebastian, he calls him "Seb" which like "Kid" is a shorten version of their name. However instead of it being a shorten version of his last name, it is a shorten version of his first name.
