Juliana's parents are of Mexican descent, and her ancestry also includes some distant Mexican Indian, as it is revealed in one episode that one of her ancestors is a sorcerer from the days of the Aztecs. At some point in her childhood, Juliana gained the power of invisibility and the power to create force fields. At boarding school, she befriended fellow students Daniel, Sonya, Michael and Ethan, and together they would travel the world fighting evil and protecting the beasts.
