Character questions for the Lawrence siblings: 15 and 21 for Johnny, and 29 and 40 for Julie. Thank you!!

Johnny

15. Is your character preoccupied with money or material possession? Why or why not?  Johnny can be preoccupied with material possessions.  He grew up with a wealthy producer stepfather in Encino during the status-heavy 80s.  He owned (or at least drove/rode) a 1982 Avanti II convertible, a Honda XL 600R bike, and a Pontiac Firebird.  Johnny wore the best clothes and cared about his appearance.  But after several setbacks in his life, he started caring less about material things, but money was still something that was on his mind.  Johnny managed to hold onto his precious Firebird, but lacked the funds for new paint jobs.  He was constantly going from one job to the next.  He had to settle for living in cheap, sometimes run-down apartments in Reseda.  Johnny stopped taking pride in his appearance; he would buy clothes that were cheap, fit for the most part, and were practical, rather than stylish.  When Robby came along, Johnny had to send a portion of what meager pay he got to Shannon for child support, which she would blow through.

21. If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others?  Johnny does have a tendency to blame others for bad things that happen in his life.  But deep down, he will feel like he caused it, or at least had a hand in it.  Daniel LaRusso becomes a target for much of the blame, whether rightly or wrongly, mostly because he came to the Valley at a time when Johnny was trying to right some wrongs and things just continued to go downhill.  Johnny and Ali were both passionate and flirtatious people, so fighting and jealousy was common in their relationship.  But they always made up, until the fight during the summer before their senior year.  Ali had a problem with Johnny’s aggression that seemed to stem from his association with Cobra Kai karate.  It hit a head when Johnny beat up a male friend of Ali’s because Johnny felt he was trying to get into Ali’s pants.  Johnny truly did love Ali and loved that she and his little sister Julie got along so well.  After the breakup, Julie took it badly and didn’t talk to him for about a week and vowed never to get close to any of Johnny’s future girlfriends.  Johnny wanted to reconcile with both of his favorite girls.  Newcomer Daniel’s flirtation with his (ex-)girlfriend made things worse and in Johnny’s eyes, kept Ali from getting back together with him.  Eventually, Johnny made himself believe that no other girl could compare to Ali and it wasn’t worth it to put as much (especially emotional involvement) into a relationship.  Johnny and his friends were injured by Daniel’s friend/mentor after a fight that Daniel had initiated with the hose prank.  Johnny lost his last chance to be the All Valley Under-18 Karate Champion.  A loss that Johnny actually took in stride, by choosing to be the one to present the trophy to Daniel and congratulate him.  However, that loss cost him the respect and relationship he had with Sensei Kreese, the most positive paternal influence he had.  Kreese nearly killed him, causing him emotional trauma, which he represses and is a cause of his drinking and depression.  Because of the connections to Daniel, Kreese, and karate, Johnny loses one of the few things that made him strong and feel good about himself.  When his mother died from cancer while he was at college, Johnny outwardly blamed Sid.  He blamed him for his mom getting sick, for causing her so much stress that she didn’t know she was sick, and for not doing enough to save her.  But Johnny also blamed himself for not being there when she needed him and not noticing that she was sick when he was home.  Johnny blames his father for abandoning him, his mother, and especially an unborn Julie.  But even when he was a little boy, he wondered if Daddy left them because of something he did or said.  He blames his father and Sid for being such terrible role models as men and fathers, which is part of the reason why he fails Robby as a father.  He also blames Shannon.  However, Johnny knows that his own lack of interest, his partial unwillingness to stand up to or even work with Shannon, his drinking, and his other bad decisions have led to the estrangement between himself and his son and his son acting out.  When Julie came home from college pregnant at Thanksgiving, he believed that Jimmy took advantage of and seduced her, as well as betrayed their friendship.  He blamed himself more, though.  Johnny always prided himself in being Julie’s protector.  And he feels like he failed her.  He wished that he never let her get so close to the Cobras, particularly Jimmy.  It never occurred to him that Julie’s feelings for Jimmy were more than a childhood crush or that she could have initiated the relationship.  Johnny was angry and disappointed with himself for not sitting her down and having a sex talk with her, despite how embarrassing and painfully awkward it would have been.  He also hates that he never stood up to Sid and insisted that Julie take sex ed classes.

Julie

29. What did your character dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true?  As a child, Julie dreamed of being a writer.  Not an author of a children’s book or a best-seller, though.  Growing up with a stepfather in the film and television industry, and a love of books, television, and film, Julie wanted to be a screenwriter or a writer on a soap opera.  But she never thought she was good enough.  She had a huge and active imagination, always coming up with stories.  But she mostly kept them in her head and when she wrote them down, she would only share them with certain people, such as her mom, Becca, and her favorite teacher.  Asking Sid to read her stories was a thought she never entertained.  The closest Julie ever came to being a writer was a few writing courses in college and becoming a librarian.

40. How does your character treat people in service jobs?  Julie always tries to be polite and kind to everyone.  She isn’t the type of person to go off on a fast food worker or waiter/waitress that got her order wrong or because the food was a bit cold.  If her order was wrong, Julie calmly and quietly informs them and asks for her correct order.  If she isn’t pregnant or breastfeeding, she doesn’t worry as much about the temperature or just won’t eat it.  She is not the parent who thinks that a teacher is out to get her child or tells them they don’t know what they are doing.
