Julie Cade wouldn't hurt a fly. It seemed almost impossible for Julie to be able to hurt something. From the pain she endured from her parents, and having a fear of turning out like them, Julie became quiet and reserved, and followed her brother and Dallas Winston around like a lost puppy. But when a night at the lot takes a turn for the worse, Julie does an unthinkable act, causing Julie, Johnny, and Ponyboy to have to flee until things die down. But Julie, who despite being scared of her own shadow, also has a heroic mindset. So when Julie sees the church up in flames, she doesn't think twice before running in to save the kids lives. Even if it cost hers.
