Further rambles about Jules in fo4 across Phia and Dana's timelines.

Brotherhood of Steel adition

In both, Jules has a rocky relationship with the BoS. Being related to the original leader and then being a direct sibling of Arthur Maxson puts a lot of tension between her and the BoS.

In Dana's timeline, Jules is more cautious of them from word go. In the Captial wasteland, the woman who raised her (whom I am calling her mom though they are not biologically related) instilled a distrust for the Brotherhood in Jules from a young age. Jules is taught to work alongside them but not to trust them. This is due to his mom's Enclave background and the shady reasons that she has Jules in the first place. This distrust is made worse when Jules believes no effort is being made to try and save his mom, and they tell him the truth about his family.

By nv Jules is suspicious of the Brotherhood but trying to come to terms with the reality that she is a blood decendant of the original Maxson. When she littoral stumbles across the bos Bunker and gets the bomb collar straped to her, their mixed feelings begin to solidify in a dislike of the bos. They convince Veronica that leaving the bos is the best thing for her. When House orders Jules to destroy the bos she complies but it still hurts as she knows not everyone in there deserves death. The destruction of the bucket fractions Jules close friendship with Veronica and that isn't even slightly resolved until after dead money where Jules finds V and tells her everything - including about Christine cause why would they not tell V about her.

Their feelings towards the BoS don't get any better when they make it to the Commonwealth. When the Brotherhood arrive in fo4 Jules is arrested and brought before Maxson for questioning. He tries to bring her back into their ranks, but she outright refuses and is allowed to leave. As he leaves, he's warned that they are now under the supervision of the bos and could be dragged back whenever. When Dana starts 'picking up the slack' from having been running around the wasteland, Jules uncomfortably agrees to help her. After Dana has made it to the Institute, Jules is once again captured by the BoS, and Maxson threatens him into assisting the BoS. Jules basically says fuck that and dips at their fist chance. Going and completing a load of side quests. They're absent for bb, but when they find out what happened, all their hatred for the bos is solidified, and they stop caring. Post bb also sees Dana switch sides to the Railroad. When the Prydwen is destroyed, Jules is with Dana and feels remorseful for the extreme loss of life but doesn't really care about their destruction.

In contrast, in Phia's timeline, Jules is too young in fo3 to have her mom's ideology as instilled in her and so places more trust in the Brotherhood. She still gets disorientated when told the truth and that no rescue attempt would be made.

When they get to the Mojave, no I haven't worked out how just yet, they find the bos through Veronica and so don't have the step of mistrust. They help out the bos and David's plan for independent vegas means that Jules doesn't have to kill them all. They do all end up being killed by David when Jules is 16-17 as they attempt to take over Vegas - this is important.

When Jules makes it to fo4, word of the mojave chapters destruction has made it to the Easter chapter, and Jules return from the west places suspicion on them. When the bos make it to the Commonwealth, she is interrogated over this and states she knew nothing about it. Due to her lack of reason to be distrustful of the bos, he rejoins their ranks but finds themself butting heads with people over their hateful rhetoric. He does work on the side to help those who are hurt by the bos and before the destruction of the institute she officially leaves the bos and becomes a freelancer doing odd jobs for the minutemen, Valentine and Goodneighbor.
