Juli Kidman

Information

Junior Detective Juli Kidman is the deuteragonist of The Evil Within series. She is the deuteragonist of The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2 and also the main protagonist of the two-part downloadable content, The Assignment and The Consequence in The Evil Within. She is 1 of the partners of Sebastian Castellanos Senior Detective of the Krimson City Police Department. She is also an agent of the mysterious organization called MOBIUS. As such, she knows more about what is going in the events of game than she is willing to say to her fellow detectives.Juli is a young Caucasian woman with brown eyes and short brown hair. She wears a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, long blue jeans, tall high-heeled shoes, and a gun holster mounted on the side of her chest. 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.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.

Information

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.

Information

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. 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.

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.

Information

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

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.

Information

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.

Information

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) 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.

Information

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." Her relationship with the Administrator The real one 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.)

Information

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. 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.
