Lady Juliana is a strong-willed and hardworking wife and mother. She can manage the farm while her husband is away and after he passes on as well. Juliana cares very much for her daughter but wishes she were more lady-like and is often frustrated by Kayley's rebellious ways. However, she still has faith that her daughter can find Excalibur and survive on her own. She is also very proud of her when she saves Camelot and is knighted by the king. Juliana is also brave; after her initial shock, she shows little fear in Ruber's presence, standing up to him, saying she would rather die than help him. However, Juliana does express fear for her daughter's safety, both when Ruber threatens her and when she leaves to try and save Camelot. Juliana is apparently quite loyal to Arthur and Camelot, as she is prepared to die rather than betray them. However, her family's safety comes first.

As Kayley grows into a young woman and dreams of becoming a knight, Juliana worries about her safety.

As Kayley disappears, Juliana becomes guilty of what she said to her daughter; she then looks at her own tapestry, asking what if Sir Lionel will do if he's still alive.
Later, Ruber and his henchmen break into her house and hold her hostage as Ruber explains to Juliana that he will use her to enter Camelot and rule the kingdom. He also threatens to kill her daughter if she refuses to help out. Juliana is locked up in the wagon and was taken to Camelot within three days of travel.
She is only seen again at night, when she stares out of the window, she wishes for her daughter to be safe; one of Ruber's minions overhear and tell her that no one is going to stop Ruber's plan to take over Camelot; this makes Juliana reply to him that he doesn't know her daughter.
However, she is seen again when Kayley gets captured by Ruber and thrown in the wagon, where they reunite. Although Kayley tells her mother that she failed, but Juliana tells her that she was brave. Ruber tells Juliana to be in the front of the wagon, and his minion drags her out to the front leaving her daughter in the care of another minion.

And after the henchmen revert back to their normal selves, she is seen in the Round table tower; she hands Sir Lionel's shield to Kayley, wishing her good luck. As seeing her daughter being knighted for the first time, she is overjoyed.
