Julie is the knight's younger daughter. She is even more beautiful than Lydia, but initially is dismissive and even contemptuous of Goldmund. Later, when she realizes Lydia has begun to lie in bed at night with Goldmund, she invades his room and lies on the other side of him. Unlike Lydia's staunch self-control, Julie responds to Goldmund's caresses, inspiring him to plead with her to return to him the next night. Later in the novel, Goldmund sees her briefly from a distance when he visits the castle with Narcissus. By then, she is married and reigns at the castle with her husband. To Goldmund, she looks beautiful, proud, and a trifle evil.
